Updates? Logs? Cache?
to be honest 1gb disk is going to struggle for most things using standard templates.
I'd look to purge logs, cache and then start to be quite aggressive about moving packages you don't need, lang's, unneeded libs, etc...
I used to love edis, still do. But their disk sizes really made me look away.
They could start by offering 3gb/usd ratio on their plans.
Clear up the logs and caches whenever possible, i got 1 KVM with them (2 GB HDD) and still got like 1.3 GB or so left on it.
You should get around 200MB back with:
Remove cached .deb files
Remove log files
cd /var/log/
Remove list of packages:
rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*
(apt-get update will recreate it back)
Delete already installed (non needed) downloaded .deb packages
apt-get clean
edit:
I forgot to ask you what distro you run :P
I got 128MB Back, enought to start mysql again. I hope that holds now, just for DNS :P
Thanks.
Such spirit. So low end.
Next Level 600MB, maybe some floppys in raid 10
I can give you a quote on those I have some 10+ various models, including 5.25" ones.
If you are using it just for dns, you can definitely remove a lot of packages you don't need. A minimal Debian installation usually requires ~ 500MB
With Minstall it is possible to get around only 260 Mb used in Debian 6
I can't believe there are still companies that still sell VPSes with less than 10 GB of space; I couldn't imagine anything that could run on that kind of space
The lowest i see now is 2gb storage with 32mb memory.
It depends how low end you are going...
@Infinity580 : I think you should move your VPS to some other provider, 2GB space is surely going to be a problem in long run.
It's working now, but i need to clean up the apt-get cache after every update when i vergot this... my Database would crash. You need to pay edis 128MB server's yearly so atm no.
