I am hosting a supabase instance on a Hetzner VPS, through coolify. I got a warning that my disk space reached 85% (of 50Gb), while my database is super small and has barely anything in it. (it's a side project)
after a bit of investigation, I found that there is 19GB of orphaned files in /var/lib/docker/volumes/blabla_supabase-db-data/_data/base/17064/*
I removed them all, restarted supabase from coolify dashboard, and then most of them were restored!
I am no system expert, but why is that? why does supabase recreate those orphaned files I deleted?
Or is it a coolify issue?
