Yep, my suspicion was right, latest ubuntu image have less free space, therefore failing.

/dev/root        72G   57G   15G  80% /

@aminvakil how do we fix it? 😅

I'm trying to purge jdk packages right now :)

@BYK I had another problem in aminvakil/lamp@0d793ff which was breaking mysql installation in docker :) It's fine to remove packages which we do not use in runner image IMO.

So the issue is we running out of disk space due to swap?

Removing packages like this is not enough.

I'm looking at this repository: https://github.com/endersonmenezes/free-disk-space particularly android section and wonder if I should just copy

    sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/android || true
    sudo rm -rf /opt/android || true
    sudo rm -rf /usr/local/android-sdk || true
    sudo rm -rf /home/runner/Android || true

or use their action.

Testing

    sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/android || true
    sudo rm -rf /opt/android || true
    sudo rm -rf /usr/local/android-sdk || true
    sudo rm -rf /home/runner/Android || true

here:
https://github.com/aminvakil/docker-tagtest/actions/runs/18038333118/job/51330491808
It increases job time about 1m 30s :(

The one which really reduces disk usage is sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/android, on second attempt it took almost three minutes though!

@aminvakil thx for mention!

I've tested haskell directory removal here ^ and figured it out the one which really matters is
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/.ghcup
and it takes less than 5 seconds to get executed and frees 7GB disk space which is enough.

Also || true has been removed in contrast to original project as rm -rf does not really need that and returns 0 if directory does not exist anyway.

This is a better approach than including all of their action, remove more stuff which does not reduce disk space significantly IMHO.

@endersonmenezes Thanks for your project!

Also for future reference:
https://github.com/actions/runner-images/blob/9da76c777a49886ca3ee062ad347d7768459a5b9/images/ubuntu/scripts/build/install-haskell.sh#L13-L15

Here is where haskell gets installed on ubuntu runner images.

TLDR;

This PR removes a large directory containing haskell stuff which will not get used in self-hosted ever, in order to free up space for swap commands to execute successfully.

There's also this action I found: https://github.com/marketplace/actions/maximize-build-disk-space

That said the main question is: why do we need so much swap space???

Interesting! It uses a different approach, although I still like to remove a large directory instead of changing partition layout.

That said the main question is: why do we need so much swap space???

I had a little research (getsentry/sentry-docs#14698) about memory usage of self-hosted. Testing on a clean environment, its memory usage peaked at 28GB.

Maybe we can decrease swap size for errors-only profile though.
