The number one cause of Fediverse servers crashing seems to be the storage drives filling up with cached Fediverse user data — posts, profiles, avatar images, header images, etc.

But, Misskey and the Misskey forks (ex: Firefish, Sharkey, etc) also have an additional challenge that fills up their storage drives —

1/ I can tell you from experience of hosting many people's Fediverse server instances for a number of years now that — Many Fediverse software (at least currently) do a poor job of cleaning-up their various caches Caching other people's profiles, images, posts, etc And, this often ends up filling up the storage drive And as a result, this is a very common thing that causes down-time for people. Probably the most common #DeSo #FediAdmin #FediCache #FediDev #FediDevs #Fediverse #SpaceHostBTS

Misskey and the Misskey forks (ex: Firefish, Sharkey, etc) seem to also be prone to their storage drives filling with:

• logs
• npm cache
• yarn cache
