When you haven't changed any storage settings, then most data is stored in the database. There the best way to save data is to optimize the tables. But for performing this command you also need some free space. Also in the admin settings in the "performance" settings you should disable the caching of avatars. That will save space.

Thanks for the idea.

I just tried reaching this page, and the page turns blank. I can see the various pages friendica, but when I click on the admin page, nothing at all is displayed.

Why might this be?

How to get to admin to change this setting?

What else can I cleanup to remove space?

Thanks for ideas. Stuck:)

See for example here: tecmint.com/install-logrotate-…

My config file looks like this: (if you don't use the daemon, you don't need the postrotate and pastrotate commands)

/path/to/log/friendica.log {
        rotate 2
        daily
        missingok
        compress
        delaycompress
        #notifempty
        create 660 user group
        postrotate
                su ike -c "/path/to/docs/bin/daemon.php start"
        endscript
        prerotate
                su ike -c "/path/to/docs/bin/daemon.php stop"
        endscript
}

OK, we were able to figure out how to work logrotate

As far as time, how many days should we keep in the logs? 1 week? 1 month? Other? I know that there might be ideal, but there is reality for space constraints. Thanks for suggestions.

WE also need a size factor, since after about 3 months, I have 14GB of logs.

Thanks
