🔎 Did you run the script with verbose mode enabled?

Yes, verbose mode was enabled and the output is included below

📜 What is the name of the script you are using?

the one that is executed when i use the "update" func inside the LXC container

Debian 13

📈 Which Proxmox version are you on?

9.1

📝 Provide a clear and concise description of the issue.

At every update the required disk space increases.
Actual case: Jotty 1.13.1 --> 1.14 increases disk size of the container from 6.7G to 8.5G

🔄 Steps to reproduce the issue.

update Jotty using the "update" command in the container´s shell.

No error output

Is there any "manual" deletion of leftovers possible - would be a workaround for me

Yeah I've noticed, not to mention that it requires 4GB of RAM in order to not crash during update.

It uses yarn as a package manager, so I'm not sure if the cleanup function in the update script covers that use case.

Perhaps I can add a yarn cache clean in the meantime. @MickLesk is yarn covered in the cleanup function?

Can I try something?
My backups are working, so it´s not risky at all 😄

Yeah, note disk usage before, then run yarn cache clean in the LXC and check disk usage again.

I had to do this yesterday, and I went from 3.99 GB to 1.6 GB.

@MickLesk The cleanup_lxc function isn't typically run in the update script, right? It should be OK to run it before grabbing the update I think. Opposed to me adding it to the jotty script?

I just had the build fail when I tested the update. I'll need to make sure it wasn't caused by the cleanup_lxc before moving ahead.
