Lemmy Post Purger (LPP) - Keep your small instance from growing too large for your disks. (github.com)

Hot on the heels of LCS (https://lemmy.world/post/557346), I bring you Lemmy Post Purger (LPP).

Instances can grow fast, and that can be a problem if you have limited disk space. If you don't mind losing history that your users have not interacted with, LPP can help. It will purge posts along with their comments and media before a certain time period if no comments, likes, or saves exist for users on your instance.

Hey there @[email protected] does this script still work?

I did a fresh git clone today, and when I try to npm start I am getting:

[email protected] start node index.js

undefined:1 undefined ^

SyntaxError: Unexpected token u in JSON at position 0 at JSON.parse () at Object. (/root/lcs/src/index.js:8:30) at Module._compile (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1191:14) at Object.Module._extensions..js (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1245:10) at Module.load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:1069:32) at Function.Module._load (node:internal/modules/cjs/loader:904:12) at Function.executeUserEntryPoint [as runMain] (node:internal/modules/run_main:81:12) at node:internal/main/run_main_module:22:47

This is what I ran, I am using the Ansible install of the latest version of Lemmy.

cd src export LOCAL_URL=https://my.full.TLD export LOCAL_USERNAME=myadmin export LOCAL_PASSWORD=myadminpass export PURGE_OLDER_THAN_DAYS=14 export HOURS_BETWEEN_PURGES=4 export PG_HOST=172.18.0.3 #this is the local IP on my box that answers for the docker container that has postgres export PG_PORT=5432 export PG_USERNAME=lemmy export PG_PASSWORD=thelemmydb-password npm install npm start

Hmm, I should probably check the issue tracker.. I haven't checked in a while, perhaps Lemmy has changed something.

If there is anything I can do to help test, let me know. I just reinstalled my server because it had 100 percent filled up and manually deleting files was not releasing the disk space.
