Warnings

⚠ Backup volume 60% full — /mnt/wholetech_backup

56.2 GiB of 100 GiB used on the DigitalOcean block-storage volume holding nightly backups. Fine now, but it climbs every night. Set a retention/prune policy before it hits ~85%, or resize the volume (+$10/mo per 100 GiB).

⚠ B2 snapshot bloat — 408,771 objects in walhuswholetech-snapshots

34.8 GiB across 408k tiny objects — by far the most objects of any bucket (68% of all B2 objects, only 4% of bytes). Huge object counts raise Class-C transaction costs and slow every listing. Add a B2 lifecycle rule to keep only the last N days of snapshots and hide/delete older versions.

⚠ 3 storage blind spots — no measurement

Both Synology NAS units and ~11 other Windows machines are invisible to this session — no DSM API creds and no central disk reporting. You could be near-full on a NAS and not know. Wire up Synology DSM (/webapi/ storage endpoint) and a one-line Get-PSDrive reporter on each PC that posts to a JSON on the droplet, so they show real numbers here instead of BLIND SPOT.

Cleanup recommendations

✓ Prune stale webroot dirs — reclaim ~588.7 MiB

20 directories look like backups / archives / dev scratch under /var/www:
  • dev.wholetech.com — 573.2 MiB
  • dev.austen.com — 7.1 MiB
  • dev.staysandalwood.com — 3.6 MiB
  • dev.texascoliving.com — 0.9 MiB
  • lifecycletransitions-com.hoarders.dev.wholetech.com — 0.6 MiB
  • onpointappliance-com.redesigns.wholetech.com — 0.6 MiB
  • hillrepair.com.bak.260513-pre-identity — 0.3 MiB
  • hillrepair.com.bak.260512 — 0.3 MiB
  • hillcountryrepair.com.bak.260513-pre-identity — 0.3 MiB
  • dev.deptless.com — 0.2 MiB
  • dev.automarketingdept.com — 0.2 MiB
  • tvawardshow.com.archived-260508 — 0.2 MiB
Verify each is truly dead (check nginx vhost + systemd first), then tar to B2 and remove from the live disk.

✓ Deduplicate the big three B2 buckets

walhus-private (337.2 GiB), walhus-backup (243.6 GiB), walhus-photos (175.7 GiB) are 88% of all B2 bytes. A dedup / incremental pass (rclone dedupe, or switch photo backup to content-hash naming) is where any real B2 savings live — trimming small buckets won't move the bill.

✓ Lifelog is the fastest-growing bucket

walhus-lifelog is 28.7 GiB and grows daily as the pendant records. Budget for it in projections and confirm the retention window matches how far back you actually query.

Assumes B2 grows ~150 GB/yr (lifelog + photos + backups) and the backup volume fills, adding one 100 GiB DO volume in 2028 and another in 2029. Adjust the growth rate in gen-diskspace.py.
