So I'm running Pi-Hole on a Rasberry Pi. I don't remember the exact model. Anyway, it's running Debian 11 Bullseye, or the version of Raspberry Pi OS based on that. lsb_release -a just says it's running Debian 11. I set this thing up so long ago I don't even remember.
Anyway, neither Debian 11 nor Pi-Hole require much storage space. 4 GB should be more than enough space to run this. I currently have my Pi-Hole running off an 8GB mSSD card in my RPi and yet I was still just now having issues running apt updates because the card was so full. I had to flush Pi-Hole logs and then run apt clean in the terminal just to free up about 1.5GB and make room to run updates.
Why is this happening and does anyone know how to mitigate this? This is kind of the only problem I've been having with the majority of my Linux servers. For some reason, when left to their own devices with a cron job to perform automatic updates periodically, the drive eventually fills up and they can't update anymore.
