Storage size on instance servers (midwest.social)

I recently had to expand my instance's storage size from 25 GB to 50 GB because it was out of space. How much storage do you all use for your instances? I'm a little surprised that it ran out of space as my instance isn't heavily used.

Am I doing something wrong? I prune all the unused docker images, so it's not that.

You could also delete old pictures. I think mastodon does this.

I'm not familiar with pictrs and how it works, but software I wrote which contains thumbnails and full copies of every image on the fediverse along with fingerprints, full database metadata, etc, doesn't take up even a tiny fraction of that space. So...

mastodon only does this for remote content!
