The surge in new users globally has had an interesting affect on my storage admin. i have to clean up every other day now, instead of every five days.

Server actually filled right up just the other day.I sometimes think some of this stuff could have been better designed.

@sullybiker do you manage a personal instance or do you have other users on your server as well?

I've just started playing around with the idea of setting up my own personal instance. I have a VPS that I've been playing with for a couple of years. Have a nextcloud and miniflux instance running on it already. Thought It'd be nice to have a mastodon instance as well.

@Finner Yeah just a single user at the moment. Well a friend is on it too but it is tiny.

@Finner I decided on a docker solution, it wa pretty easy to get going, but for their ease of use it's not so intuitive when it comes to maintenance.

@sullybiker I've dabbled with docker a little bit, that might be a better option. I started the install process, but failed compiling for lack of swap space it seems. So I think I need to tweak some things on the VPS and try again I suppose.
