Hey, So We Noticed The

Hey, so we noticed the /var/lib/docker/overlay2 directory on the clearml-server is growing a lot in size, we added more disk space but we want to put something in place to stop this growing too much.
These are the options I’ve looked into:

  1. docker system prune - removes all stopped containers, all networks not used by at least one container, all dangling images, all dangling build cache, Problem: we don’t really know what this is pruning
  2. docker image prune --all - removes all images without at least one container associated to them
  3. Set the max-size in docker-compose.yaml for logging

Are the first 2 options safe to run without killing the server? I’m not happy on removing files without knowing what they are.
Are there any plans to automate this in the future?

Hey there waves

Not sure about plans to automate this in the future, as this is more how docker behaves and not really clearml, especially with the overlay2 filesystem. The biggest offender usually is your json logfiles. have a look in /var/lib/docker/containers/ for *.log

assuming this IS the case, you can tell docker to only log upto a max-size .. I have mine set to 100m or some such

After making the change yesterday to the docker-compose file, the server is completely unusable - this is all I see for the /dashboard screen
image

think I found the issue, a typo in apiserver.conf

hhrrmm.. in the initial problem, you mentioned that the /var/lib/docker/overlay2 was growing large in size.. but.. 4GB seems "fine" for docker images.. I wonder .. does your nvme0n1p1 ever report like 85% or 90% used or do you think that the 4GB is a lot ? when you restart the server, does the % used noticeably drop ? that would suggest tmp files inside the docker image itself which.. is possible with docker (weird but, possible)

Basically whatever was under the old /opt/trains/ folder is required, you can see the list here: None

it looks like clearml-apiserver and clearml-fileserver are continually restarting

yeah, that's usually the case when you get an empty dashboard

Check sudo docker logs <container-name>

🤔 i'll add the logging max_size now and monitor over the next week

not entirely sure on this as we used the custom AMI solution, is there any documentation on it?

@<1687643893996195840:profile|RoundCat60> you set it once, inside the docker-compose itself.. it will affect all docker containers but, to be honest, docker tends to log everything
