I somehow filled up my disk storage and now Tipi won't start.

However, df -h / shows space available:

Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/nvme0n1p2  915G  874G     0 100% /

Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/nvme0n1p2  915G  874G     0 100% /

Starting tipi shows dependency failed to start: container tipi-db is unhealthy Running dependency failed to start: container tipi-db is unhealthy shows:

Since the df -h command shows about 40G less used than available I thought it might be related to Docker containers, I tried sudo docker system prune --volumes and similar commands without luck. It's filled up with Immich photos so I don't think I can just delete them since they're managed content. Any suggestions?

You can run docker system prune to clean up all un-used docker stuff

Well I tried every trick Google could teach me to free up space and it wasn't enough. Not even enough space to uninstall packages lol. I fixed it by deleting all my immich thumbnails, they're in ~/runtipi/media/data/images/immich/thumbs. Got me down to 853GB / 915GB available. Lesson learned, leave at least 8% of your drive free. Thanks for helping even though my issue was my own stupidity and not Tipi
