[Implemented] Increase maximum container size from 20G

Currently the maximum container size seems to be set at 20G. There really is no point in having this upper limit set IMO since its a dynamic container so will only use the actual disk space it consumes on your host system not the max size.

I may be on the fringe here, but I hit this limit and it was a pain to resize the partition.

Hi chuckmac,

We’ve actually forced a 120GB limit in Local (the 20GB limit is Docker’s, and continues to be the limit, Local aside). Any new Local sites should have this 120GB limit, but for existing sites a shell script will need to be run https://gist.github.com/claygriffiths/fd270f45d82da6feefd723c4fce5a4d7. Please backup the site you want to change the limit for, check over the comments in the shell script to make sure it’s ready to run, then download, chmod +x and execute. If something goes wrong let us know, but nothing should.

Thanks!
Jeremy

Thanks for the response Jeremy.

Unfortunately I am on Windows so this script wouldn’t work as is, but I can see looking at it those are basically the steps I took to expand the container :slight_smile:
