Homelab Hero · No. 008

One incident. Three calls.

Saturday, 8:15 AM. Your media server is down and the family is asking why. The Docker host's disk is at 100%: one container updated overnight, switched on debug logging, and wrote a single log file bigger than the rest of the library combined.

Your call:

A. Prune everything Docker will let you — images, containers, and volumes — to get space back fast

B. Stop that one container, cap and rotate its logs, clear the runaway file, then restart it and set a disk alert

C. Grow the VM's disk, restart the stack, and deal with the logging later

100 Hero Points for the right call — 200 on the Friday Boss Fight. From Issue No. 008 of The Homelab Herald. Your result lands on the next page, ready to share.
