actually I did delete the server (after creating a snapshot of it) a week or so ago. But this morning I wanted to check lemmyfly.org, couldn’t load the page. Checking my Hetzner dashboard I noticed CPU was spiked at 200%?! It did drop again though, but apparently had last for 2-3 minutes. But prometheus was down, so no graphs apart from the hetzner ones. I doesn’t relate to network traffic spikes, so I don’t know what caused it. I’ve started the prometheus server again (that snapshot was really useful :) ) and will leave it on for a couple of months now.
current system consumption:
I might need to get an extra volume for storage, Lemmy is starting to eat up the root filesystem… Does anyone know how I re-configure Lemmy to look at a different volume for storage ?
http_response metrics are also up, using https://github.com/martin-helmich/prometheus-nginxlog-exporter
would be nice to see the numbers go up :)
Let us know your findings when you did!
i’m now looking into logging more specific http request data. Maybe https://github.com/martin-helmich/prometheus-nginxlog-exporter?
I use namecheap’s email service privateemail since a couple of years. Google workspace was great, but don’t need the other features anymore and this is fifth of the price https://www.namecheap.com/hosting/email/
14 days later, my postgres directory was 12GB. I was still on 18.1. Updated to 18.3 just now. Postgres directory was downscaled to 2.6GB !!! Thank you Lemmy dev’s and contributors !!
