Big File Sizes on n8n Server

Questions
1

Hey,

I have a problem with my file sizes on n8n server. I want to reduce the sizes.

This is my file sizes of the n8n server:

When I write this command: df -h

Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
tmpfs           795M  868K  794M   1% /run
/dev/vda2        29G   16G   13G  55% /
tmpfs           3.9G     0  3.9G   0% /dev/shm
tmpfs           5.0M     0  5.0M   0% /run/lock
/dev/vda1       537M  6.1M  531M   2% /boot/efi
tmpfs           795M     0  795M   0% /run/user/1000

This is how my Docker Configuration looks like.

Why the files of /dev/vda2 and tmpfs takes too much space? Why I cannot reduce it?

Thank you for your help!

hello @onurbolaca
It looks like you have outputted the df -h of the n8n host. In that case it’s totally up to you how big will be the host.

Hey @barn4k ,

It’s totally upto me but I didn’t use anything else than n8n flows and docker n8n image in this server. How can be this big even after I remove the logs?

Does anyone has any clue?

The host OS will consume some amount of space, e.g. the clean Ubuntu requires about 15 GB of space just to work. And I’m not even talking about the docker images. That’s not a question to n8n actually
