Does my MM really need this size of GB?

[kusselin]

Hello everyone, I’m wondering about the GB size of my MM. I have about 10 modules running…can it really be that they need so much disk space or is something wrong?

and also the CPU utilization is very high…that can’t be …look at the Proxmox container image

@kusselin your image didn’t show

you can only upload images using the next to last icon above the mess editor

look at the size of the node_moduies folders in each module. the size of the dependencies

@kusselin ok, i wont click links in messages, generally don’t recommend them.

if a new users posts with links without clear text of the url to an known image site i will reject that message. too much theft spam in the world

links off MagicMirror forums are reviewed as well

@sdetweil so, i installed the MM new in a proxmox container as a server…

why is the CPU last so high???

@kusselin what modules are running?

we don’t have any live code in the base, its all in modules.

sounds like at least one module has very short refresh cycle

Check for log files or cache buildup that might be consuming extra space. Also, verify module configurations to ensure no unnecessary data is being stored.

@kusselin one other quick way to review is to use the du (disk used) command
sort -h sorts the 1st field (numbers) in human terms…

du | sort -h > somefile.txt

if you do a large folder tree (your home folder or root) it can take a while

this will give you a sorted list smallest to largest of directories
from wherever you start it

I did this on my linux desktop from my user folder, just a portion of the end
