Openvidu storage space

How to implement?
1

Hi @cruizba @micael.gallego, what is the solution to free up disk space when storage usage is %90 ?

2

What OpenVidu Edition do you have deployed?: CE, PRO or ENTERPRISE
What version are you using?

What is the directory with more space occupied? You can take a look with this command:

du -hs /opt/openvidu/* | sort -n -r | head -n 10

Can you also check the space of your docker logs? (From versions <=2.16.0 docker logs was not limitted so coturn generates too much logs and sometimes fill the disk.).

du -shc /var/lib/docker/containers/*/*-json.log | tail -n1

With those commands you can tell me what is the directory that is filling your disk.

Regards.

I am using 2.15.1 pro ( OpenVidu Docs)

Is it ok if I delete those logs?

Yes, you can remove that logs with no problem.

I recommend you to update to a newer version (latest is 2.20.0) as soon as possible.

5

Is 2.15 going to be deprecated?

6

Not deprecated itself, but we can offer better support for newer versions.

@cruizba I have deleted all above log files but it still shows disk usage the same. Should I reboot or what to do?

8

It should be updated eventually. Did you checked again?

What free space shows…:

df -h
9

/dev/xvda1 97G 83G 15G 85% / - I have deleted about >45GB log

10

We recomend to a newer versions as a regular basic.

The new versions are mostly backward compatible and you do not have to change anything in your application (only minor things that maybe affect to you). Please take a look to breaking changes section in releases pages:

https://docs.openvidu.io/en/stable/releases/

Regards

11

Have you encountered this kind of disk space issue before?

12

Yes, mostly in versions <= 2.15.1 where no log policy was taken in place.

After that we’ve added this policy for docker logging in all containers:

Did you tried to restart the infra? Are you still having problems with space? Maybe logs was not deleted correctly
