I made an instance following the tutorial for docker. Now i really want to track the storage space my instance is using (mostly out of curiosity), but i can't find any way to (quickly) check the storage used by pictrs. Checking the directory size takes way too long.

Maybe it's obvious and I just missed it but idk.

Depending on if you put its volume in the image or a directory you need to look there. Check size or whichever it is. I believe for directory it’s du -h and for docker you could docker ps to see all.

Oh I see you say taking the directory size takes too long… how could that take more than 10 seconds…? Are you not using CLI
