How much storage did it use overall? I had one instancs running on a 40gb HDD VM and it ran out of disk space in like 2,5 months. From what I've seen it was a mixture of 66,6/33,3 postgres/ images and other media. Didn't had the time to learn how to clean it up and prevent it from happening again after a month. All happens like may to August last year.
It's sitting at around 46GB at the moment, not too bad.
Instance is a year and a few months old, so I could probably trim down the storage a bit if needed by purging stuff < 6 months old or something.
I think it initially grows as your users table fills up and pictrs caches the profile pictures, and then it stabilizes a bit. I definitely saw much more growth initially.
