Comment on Self-hosting a Matrix server for 5 years

I’m curious what maintenance you need to do each month, I’ve been running matrix for well over 5 years and I haven’t done anything other the keep the docker/db containers updated.

Should I have been doing stuff? Now I’m worried.

For me, it was not monthly, but rather “when it bites you in the ass”.

Delete all empty rooms and federated rooms without local users.

Clean up state_groups_state table.

Delete old media.

All of this is made worse by having more active users and made better by having a large hard drive (my VPS had 20GB, which I almost filled up with the db and media after a few years, with only few users)

  Ah, makes perfect sense, I don’t use the federation and I’ve got all media on a NAS with 24TB of space, so I’ve not really been concerned with space usage… I might want to do some house keeping at some point though.
  
  Glad I hadn’t missed any major.
  
  Thanks for the reply.
