Deagarys Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Hey guys, I keep getting warnings that my docker image size is at 95-100%. What can i do about this? Do i up the size? or am i doing something wrong in my setup? (probably the second one, im super new to unraid) Quote Link to comment
itimpi Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Chances are very high that you have a container writing internally to the image when it should be writing to a location mapped to the Unraid host. As an example this frequently happens if the Plex transcode temporary location is not mapped externally, but it could be something else. Quote Link to comment

I’m using Jellyfin so it might be that, how do i find out what is causing this? Quote Link to comment

Using the Container Size button on the Dockers tab might give you a clue. Failing that it is just a case of examining your dockers one-by-one to work out which ones might be creating data dynamically and checking where they are writing that data to on the basis that anything not mapped to an external location is going to be written internally to the docker.img file.

Deagarys Posted August 3, 2023 Author Share Posted August 3, 2023 I found a few big ones, but all the paths are mapped. and why is my total log size so huge? Can i clear my logs? Quote Link to comment
Solution Deagarys Posted August 3, 2023 Author Solution Share Posted August 3, 2023 I have found out why my logs were so huge. NZBGet was running privelaged. and logged almost everything. Turned privelaged off and log reduced a ton. Still would like to know if its normal that some containers like readarr and sonarr are almost 2gb Quote Link to comment

You could try asking in the support thread for a particular container. Quote Link to comment

You could, but if you do not know what is causing them the culprit could just end up consuming the extra space you give it. In a sense you are just 'hiding' the underlying problem but if you do not mind using the extra space then it may be the easiest thing to do. Quote Link to comment
