Unusual disk space usage?

@richardwilis

Should the source folder of each site contain trellis + every other sites contents?

@fullyint

/srv/www/site_name/shared/source contains only the cloned files of your repo.

As far as I can tell, the contents are the same between your repo and each source dir:

• sites
  • site1
  • site2
  • site3
  • …
  • site8
• trellis

Or do the contents differ between repo and source? If contents differ,

• what is in your repo and
• what is extra in the source dirs?

@richardwilis

I do keep some plugins in my repo’s, but that doesn’t account for this large disk usage.

If source seems bigger than your repo, I suggest you try digging into the source dir to find what the extra and big files are.

… cumulative inception of every site nested within the source folder of each individual site

If it turns out your repo and the source dirs are the same content, I don’t see a bug nor a misconfiguration. Trellis is set up to give each /srv/www/site source dir with the repo contents.

If it turns out you will indeed want to use Trellis with a repo that has 8+ sites and the repo is 1+ GB in size, some adjustments will be required for the large repo/project size. Either Trellis will need to adjust its handling of the source dir, or you’ll need to split your sites into separate repos, or just bump up the storage specs of your server.
