@mint @lina how big are your databases + how many years have they been active? (curious)
-
@cassidyclown @lina 68.3 gigs on disk, 7 gigs as a gzip-compressed dump (too lazy to unpack).
-
@cassidyclown @lina About a year and a half, started in April '22.
-
@mint @lina oh damn that's pretty big then - how many years has ryona been up?
-
@iamtakingiteasy @lina @mint wtf I thought my instance was too fat now I learn it is not fat enough
-
@lina @cassidyclown @mint Currently pleroma DB is 130 gigs, with daily growth averaging at about 200+ megabytes. The size is also somewhat inflated by FTS indices. Have been running since February of 2021 for ~2+ years now and have survived domain migration.

Does the prune feature effect the result of the vacuum full? Rough math, would say pruning to 30 days vs. 90 days result in a database one-third the size after vacuum full.
-
i didnt specify a prune 30 or a prune 90 i just did the db vaccum.. (im sure i copy pasted it off graf) and the damn thing bought me enough space to give me time to figure out how i was going to up the storage.
digital ocean bundles it... if i was smart i would have given storage its own mount point as thats cheaper to upgrade....
add this to one of a hundred regrets i have experienced in my life
-
I'm about 100gb at a little over two years. I really want to strip it back to nothing, and let it grow for another two years. I was wondering how to do that though, e.g. trim the db down to a week of posts and vacuum full? Not sure that would work though.
-
The vacuum command got my db down from like 45gb to 15gb
-
Can't you stop the server and database, rsync the postgres directory to a remote file system storage, rename the local postgres directory (temp backup just inv case), mount the remote file system at a directory with the same name/permissions as the original postgres directory, and turn it all back on?
-
It's not a backup technically. It's an "oh shit. I can get this back up by just renaming a directory." Saves the need to dump. You can get the server up immediately after mount... I think. If it comes up, you can delete the renamed directory.

@Humpleupagus @cassidyclown @iamtakingiteasy @lina @zero @mint If you want to back up a db, just dump it lol.
