Mastodon media storage graph for the past year. I wonder what happened in April and then again in November…
(I’ve still got media going to AWS from when I set up the server myself even though it’s with @mastohost now… because, lazy.)
@aral @mastohost do you know you can periodically prune the image cache without breaking anything? The last release allows to enable it by the administration panel too.
Aral, I have to say… I was not expecting to see you using #AWS!
@RyunoKi @emanuele @aral there is already automated cache cleaning in place. As explained here https://masto.host/re-mastodon-media-storage/ or the numbers would be much higher.
But Aral can use more aggressive limits in the admin interface. For media it’s fine but for content it can lead to unwanted consequences as I mention here https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/discussions/19260
@RyunoKi @emanuele @aral Still what can actually help is this https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/21066 because currently there is no way to remove avatars and headers. And everyone that ever federated with a server will have their avatar and header cached forever.
@mastohost Ah, and it looks like that’s closed for now :(
@mastohost @aral @RyunoKi do you have any script you could share with us?
@emanuele That's all available in `tootctl` tool provided with Mastodon
@mastohost thanks, I will look for it on the documentation.
