TB-011 — Reap orphan volumes

Status: not started
Your call: (unset — talk first)


Talk first

Stop. Don't read Reference until we've talked. In chat, say "let's do TB-011" or "reap orphan volumes".

In one sentence: Delete old pre-split Docker named volumes that bind mounts replaced.

Why it came up: htpc-download-box_* and valhalla-lab_* volumes waste disk and confuse what's canonical.

Questions

  1. Want me to SSH and list them with you before deleting anything?
  2. Backups done first? (TB-001)

Your options

Option Meaning
Do it We're doing this — I'll implement or walk you through it
Later Keep on the list, not now
Drop Remove from plan — totally fine
Tweak Change scope; tell me how

Stack / files

SSH on valhalla only

If we do it — rough steps

  1. docker volume ls — confirm orphans
  2. Spot-check bind mounts healthy
  3. docker volume rm

Done when

  • Orphan volumes gone
  • All containers still healthy
