Question Docker - Max space to use

[Erwan]

Hello,

We use a docker Owncloud with Plesk Onyx 17.5.3.
It works well but how can we limit a max space for the container?

By default, il seems to be 63 Gb. We want 100 Gb...

Thanks for your help.

Hi Erwan,

It's strange. How have you created the container? Was it installed from Docker Hub? Could you share a link to this container on Docker Hub? Are you sure that limit not configured inside OwnCloud? How have you understood that limit is ~64Gb? Did you have any screenshots?

Hi,
We have created the container with Plesk Docker extension.
You can see the screenshots.
The subscription max disk space is 100 Gb and 4.8 Mb are used but it's 125 Mb of 63 Gb for the website under docker.

With the screenshots, I understand what do you mean. On the first screenshot not a limit for disk space, it is limit for container's memory. I guess your server has 64Gb of RAM memory (Random-access memory - Wikipedia) and you didn't limit memory for the container that's why here 64Gb.

Don't worry about disk space, it is not limited by the Docker Extension.

Ok. Thanks. I understand.

Two questions:
- is it possible to know the space used by the data in the doker OwnCloud in the Plesk manager?
- is it possible to limit the disk space in the Docker? For example, we don't want more than 100Go.

No, Docker extension uses "bind mounts" (Use bind mounts). When you save files in the container, the files will be saved on a host system.

I think you can create a limit in ownCloud: Storage Quota — ownCloud 10.0.7 User Manual 10.0.7 documentation
