Hello @Tobias
I just wanted to install updates on git.friendi.ca, when I found that the virtual HDD was pretty full, there were only 120 MB left.
Can you check if #gitea is running fine? Can you also check if there is any extensive archives stored that are not needed? I can and will add more storage to the VM, but I would like to know what are the expected needs. I guess code revision will take up some space, but I have no idea and feeling of how much space this takes up. Currently gitea uses about 6.6 GB in /var/lib

So the main goal is to check if the too less space caused any problems and second let me now about the expected needed space.
I guess another 10 GB should last for some time, but am not sure.
#Friendica !Friendica Developers
I did a short click through gitea, but did not find any problems.

About the needed space, the "friendica/friendica" repository currently has 700MB and one clone with 100MB. Give 10 developers actually working with the friendica and friendica-addons repository, 10GB should work for some time, but might be a bit to small.
@Tobias what is this repo-archive it keeps in /var/lib/gitea/data/repo-archive, I wonder what the purpose is? It is many Zip and tar.gz files.
@utzer looks like the archive collection for the releases. I'll have a look if we can somehow disable them at least for the repositories where we have the correct archives in files.friendi.ca. Or maybe just keep the archives for the last N releases or so.
I've found a clean up button to delete all the release archives (freeing some space on the HD) but the archives are recreated when someone if following the links and I somehow fear, that search engine crawlers might do so.
