Drive space and cyberpanel

Support and Discussion
1

  1. I created an azure vm using a cyberpanel azure market package.

  2. At initialization i used an image with a 30GB disk- i’m not a fan of app + OS on the same disk so i added a data disk however that wasn’t used at all.

  3. recently i noticed that my cyberpanel dashboard had my available disk at +20% and i haven’t deployed fully yet, hence i wanted to add space.

  4. Had a chat here and the idea of mounting new drive under /home was raised - i have done that, it doesn’t affect my dashboard numbers.

  5. Today i resorted to extending the os drive- thats done, it bleated about partition tables sorted per fdisk.

questions:

  1. the dashboard limits refers specifically to “/” . Is that a true reflection of space available per Cyberpanel? . i.e. if that space maxes will my sites affected?

  2. If i try to extend /dev/sdc3 above, would that be a solution?

  3. In truth i’d be happy to start again and migrate as space is a dealbreaker but i’m not certain i’ll have a better outcome, I expect this is a common issue - how do others avoid having space issues when running file heavy sites?

Hello @practical Happy you are here

Existing websites will not be affected however I cannot guarantee that you will not experience downtime due to updating services on your server or website when disk is full.

To get exact values of cyberpanel disk usage, memory usage and other stats just opne ssh terminal and the first information as puled from bashrc will be

Hi Joseph

i’m not loving my original server- i’ve tried so many things , i cant be certain that i haven’t messed up along the way however new VM ubuntu->resize->install cyberpanel = WINNER :slight_smile:

I have free space showing similarly to yours.

Thanks :wink:
