A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

I've had a Lemmy instance running on a VPS with 100 GB of storage for a few months and it has filled up. I've been searching for ways to reduce the amount of storage used but so far I am coming up empty. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

what is stored in received_activity ? anything important? I mean obviously it's something the instance has received from other instances but is this then stored somewhere else (like comments then stored elsewhere for eg)

it's in alpha currently, but you could still run it

I think you might have to use the :dev tag to get this update, a bit risky to stay on that tag though, maybe wait for the next docker image of an alpha release

Well now you can use :0.19.0-rc.5 :)

oh btw 3rd party apps aren't working with 0.19.0 yet, because of changes to the authentication API

Good to know. I'll check it out.

As far as I've been told it's basically just a log of all received activities. Nothing references it.

Nothing seems to have gone wrong in the past week on thelemmy.club since I removed it. I do have backups though.

Nice, thank you.
