Reclaiming disk space

Hello,
My docker volums openbalena_registry and openbalena_s3 are 13 and 12GB.
openbalena_s3/_data/.minio.sys/tmp is 99% of taken space.

Is there anyway I can reclaim disk space ?
This is after using docker image prune and docker system prune.

Thanks a lot

This is due to the images you’be pushed to your application; the docker image prune etc will not operate on these filesystems. I am not really sure how one would tidy them up, but it would be the same issue that any standard docker registry would have; I don’t think the delete operation was considered due to the fact that most docker/package systems like immutablity.

I will disucss this internally to see if there is something/anything we could do going forward, but I don’t have any ideas right now, sorry.

Hello,
I took my chances, stoped openbalena, deleted the 12Gb openbalena_s3/_data/.minio.sys/tmp directory and everything restared and is working fine.
Thanks for your fast answer.

@richbayliss,
Hello balena team, hello @richbayliss,

Was also facing similar issue.
Using balena deploy command to push updates to app on openbalena server.
balena deploy (registry step) was failing due to lack of disc space after being successful once on EC2 instance with 8GB disk space. I have for now increased the disk space to 16 GB and deploy is successful.

Any pointers for best practices after each balena deploy?
Appreciate your feedback.

Smita
