Disk Space Report Script

This script helps diagnose disk usage by estimating potential storage savings and identifying large directories on your system. It does not take any action; it only reports the current state of your disk usage.

Features

• Estimates the size of the apt cache.
• Estimates the size of old installed packages.
• Estimates the size of journal logs.
• Estimates the size of temporary files.
• Estimates the size of unused Docker volumes.
• Lists directories consuming more than 5GB and 10GB.

Usage

To use this script, execute it directly from the URL without downloading it, which is particularly useful when disk space is limited.

Execute Directly from URL

Run the script directly from the URL using curl and piping to bash:

curl -sSL https://git.nixc.us/colin/disk-space-report/raw/branch/main/disk-check.sh | bash

Output

The script will output the following information:

• The size of the apt cache.
• The size of old installed packages.
• The size of journal logs.
• The size of temporary files.
• The size of unused Docker volumes.
• Directories consuming more than 5GB and 10GB.

Note

This script requires sudo privileges to estimate certain sizes and access system directories.
