FATAL: could not write lock file "postmaster.pid": No space left on device

Self Hosted Retool
1

We have been running self hosted retool without issue for months but I'm now only seeing the db-connector and db-ssh-connector as running.

When I look at the console logs I'm seeing "FATAL: could not write lock file "postmaster.pid": No space left on device"

The host system has sufficient free disk space but I don't know where else to look at this stage.

sudo docker-compose ps returns the output below:

NAME                                  COMMAND                  SERVICE             STATUS              PORTS

Hey @unclespeedo, we would like to know more about how you're setting this up. Could you share with us how you deployed Retool? Are you seeing any errors when running sudo docker-compose up -d?

Hi @Kenny it turns out the docker host configuration created the low disk space issue.

@unclespeedo Happy to hear you figured it out! Thanks for coming back and sharing your solution :slightly_smiling_face:
