I’m running a small instance just for myself and a friend. We basically use it to access the Lemmy fediverse.
I was under the impression that our instance would not download imagery that was not hosted on it but the pict-rs “files” directory ended up with 45 gig of data which ultimately filled up the VPS storage space.
Is there a command that I can automate to prune this regularly or does anyone have a solution?
Can you just run a cronjob to delete files in that directory every day?
(Maybe there’s a reason you can’t do this, I don’t know how Lemmy instance works)
