I’m self-hosting the docker containers and I noticed the pictrs directory is steadily growing because of the cached images. Does anyone know if it gets cleaned up automatically or are hosters running scripts to clean it up after a certain amount of time? The install guides make no mention of it from what I can find.

    I believe the activity table in Postgres is retained for 6 months (although I’m purging mine daily) and the pict-rs cache is 168 hours (1 week).

      How do you purge daily? Also, does that delete any post history or anything in a similar vein?

        I’m running the following SQL, although I’m not actually sure it’s as necessary since 0.18.3. It doesn’t delete any post history or anything.

        DELETE FROM activity WHERE published < NOW() - INTERVAL '1 day';
