(solved) docker image getting full

[repomanz]

Hi unraid team - trying to trouble shoot why my current docker container is getting full (set at 45g).   Running this command (docker container ps -s) I get this output (snippet).   Note; the 12gb container is intentional (zone minder with object detection) but given the sum below I shouldn't be getting alerts. 

 

 

 

What other trouble shooting steps can I do here to find where docker / containers are bloating?

Container size on the docker tab will also help to see where the bloat is.

 

Usual cause of the image filling up is excessive logging and downloading into the image.  There's a couple entries in the Docker FAQ about that.

hey @Squid - thanks for the tips.  After observing the container size I discovered one of my containers had 8.5gb of log space because I was a baddy and forgot to turn debugging level off :).

 

After fixing the app issue itself and adding this into the extra parameters "--log-opt max-size=50m --log-opt max-file=1" I'm good to go.
