Hi all,

 

I have been running Unraid for several months now without issue w/ numerous Docker containers. Today I noticed nextcloud was not working and tried to update it and got an error "no space left on device". This seemed curious to me. Then, I looked at the container sizes and can see Plex has a 11.1 GB log file. Yikes! I assume this is what is eating the space on my docker image.

 

I've searched around a bit for a solution but I'm stumped on how to clear this log and re-gain this space back. And of course, how to prevent such a huge log file in the first place.

 

Thanks for your suggestions!

Thanks for the quick response, Squid. I ended up disabling docker, deleting the image, and then rebuilding. I am going to keep a close eye on this to see if the issue looks like it may happen again but for now I should be all set. Thanks!

How often do you update your containers? I have mine autoupdate, and my plex only has about 7KB of logs.

 

Regardless, seems like you need to figure out what it is logging and why and fix that. I doubt MB of logs is normal, much less GB.

And your Plex container logs aren't being flooded with errors or anything? Not the Plex Server logs - the Plex container log itself (Click on Plex docker -> Logs)

 

That's where I'd start. Jackett and GluTunVPN look suspiciously large too.
