List DDEV Projects Ubuntu

User
list all ddev projects ubuntu
Assistant
To list all DDEV projects on Ubuntu (or any OS), run the following command in your terminal:

ddev list

This will display all DDEV projects that have been started or are currently available in your DDEV global project list, with information such as:

– Project name
– Project type (e.g., `php`, `laravel`, `wordpress`)
– Project directory
– Status (e.g., `running`, `stopped`, `not found`)

### Example Output:

NAME          TYPE        LOCATION                          STATUS
my-site       wordpress   /home/user/projects/my-site       running
laravel-app   laravel     /home/user/code/laravel-app       stopped

### Notes:
– If you've deleted or moved a folder manually without using `ddev stop` or `ddev delete`, it may still show up as `not found`.
– Projects are tracked via the global DDEV configuration file: `~/.ddev/global_config.yaml` and individual `.ddev` directories inside each project folder.

Let me know if you want to filter, clean up, or script this list!

check total space
Assistant
To **check total disk space** on Ubuntu, open your terminal and run:

df -h

### Explanation:
– `df` = disk free
– `-h` = human-readable format (e.g., GB/MB)

### Sample Output:

Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1       100G   70G   27G  73% /
tmpfs           3.9G  2.0M  3.9G   1% /dev/shm

If you want to check **total disk space used by DDEV projects**, you can run:

du -sh ~/.ddev /path/to/projects/*

Or if all projects are inside a single folder like `~/projects`, then:

du -sh ~/projects/*

Let me know if you want to check Docker volume usage by DDEV containers too.

User
docker
Assistant
To **check total Docker space usage**, including what DDEV projects might be consuming, run the following:

### πŸ”Ή 1. Total Docker Disk Usage:

docker system df

### Example Output:

TYPE            TOTAL     ACTIVE    SIZE      RECLAIMABLE
Images          10        4         3.14GB    2.1GB (66%)
Containers      8         3         1.25GB    800MB (64%)
Local Volumes   12        10        4.50GB    2.2GB (48%)
Build Cache     0         0         0B        0B

### πŸ”Ή 2. List Volumes (DDEV uses these for project data):

docker volume ls

To check space used by each volume:

docker system df -v

This will show volume names (like `ddev-myproject-mariadb`) and their sizes.

### πŸ”Ή 3. Clean Unused Docker Resources (optional):
If you want to **free space**, use:

docker system prune

Or for a deep clean:

docker system prune -a --volumes

⚠️ **Warning:** This will delete **all unused containers, networks, images, and volumes**. Don’t run this unless you’re sure.

Let me know if you want to analyze per DDEV project or clean selectively.

Your Docker install has only 2818432 available disk space, less than 5000000 warning level (93% used). Please increase disk image size.
Assistant
This error means Docker is running out of disk space β€” specifically, the Docker *disk image* (used for containers, volumes, etc.) has only **~2.8 GB free**, which is below the warning threshold of **5 GB**. Here's how to fix it depending on your setup:

### πŸ”§ **If you're using Docker Desktop (Ubuntu with GUI)**

#### βœ… Step 1: Increase Docker Disk Image Size
1. Open **Docker Desktop**.
2. Go to **Settings β†’ Resources β†’ Advanced**.
3. Increase the **Disk image size** (e.g., from 64GB to 128GB).
4. Click **Apply & Restart**.

> This resizes the Docker virtual disk used to store images, volumes, containers, etc.

### πŸ”§ **If you're using Docker Engine (CLI-based install on Ubuntu server/terminal only)**

#### βœ… Step 1: Clear unused resources

docker system prune -a --volumes

> ⚠️ Warning: This removes all **stopped containers, unused volumes, and dangling images**. Be cautious.

#### βœ… Step 2: Check where Docker stores data
By default, Docker stores data in:

/var/lib/docker

Check its usage:

sudo du -sh /var/lib/docker

### πŸ’‘ Optional: Move Docker storage to another disk (advanced)

If you want to **permanently move Docker storage** to another partition with more space:

1. Stop Docker:

sudo systemctl stop docker

2. Move data:

sudo mv /var/lib/docker /mnt/bigger-disk/docker

3. Create a symlink:

sudo ln -s /mnt/bigger-disk/docker /var/lib/docker

4. Restart Docker:

sudo systemctl start docker

Let me know which setup you're using (Docker Desktop or pure Docker CLI), and I can guide you precisely.

User
We have no docker desktop
docker installed via ddev
Assistant
Thanks β€” since you're using **Docker without Docker Desktop** (i.e. CLI-based, likely via `apt` or `snap` on Ubuntu), and it's installed via **DDEV**, here’s how to **fix the "low disk space for Docker" issue** step by step:

### 🧼 Step 1: Clean up Docker to free space

This is safe and effective:

docker system prune -a --volumes

– `-a`: remove **all unused** images (not just dangling)
– `–volumes`: remove **unused volumes**

Confirm with `y` when prompted.

### πŸ—ƒ Step 2: Check space used by Docker

docker system df -v

This will show how much space is used by:
– Images
– Containers
– Volumes

You can remove specific large volumes/images if needed.

### πŸ› οΈ Step 3: Increase Docker disk space (if `/var/lib/docker` is almost full)

#### Option A: Resize partition (if Docker is on a small disk)
Run:

df -h /var/lib/docker

If the mount point (like `/`) is nearly full, consider:
– Resizing the partition (requires external disk or LVM setup)
– Or moving Docker data to a larger partition (recommended)

### 🚚 Step 4: Move Docker storage to another disk (optional but powerful)

1. **Stop Docker**:

sudo systemctl stop docker

2. **Create new location** (e.g. on `/mnt/bigdisk/docker`):

sudo mkdir -p /mnt/bigdisk/docker
   sudo rsync -aP /var/lib/docker/ /mnt/bigdisk/docker

3. **Point Docker to the new location**:

Edit Docker config:

sudo nano /etc/docker/daemon.json

Add:

{
  "data-root": "/mnt/bigdisk/docker"
}

4. **Restart Docker**:

sudo systemctl start docker

5. **Verify**:

docker info | grep "Docker Root Dir"

It should show `/mnt/bigdisk/docker`.

Let me know if you want help checking what's taking space (images/volumes) or need guidance creating a mount for a new disk.

Assistant
Thanks β€” from your output:

Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sdb1        37G   32G  2.7G  93% /

Your **root partition (`/`) is 93% full**, leaving only **2.7 GB available**, which is **why DDEV and Docker are warning you**.

### πŸ”§ Fix Options

#### βœ… Option 1: **Free Up Space on `/` (Quickest & Easiest)**

Run the following to identify and remove junk:

##### 1. Show top 10 largest directories:

sudo du -hxd1 / | sort -hr | head -n 10

##### 2. Clean APT cache:

sudo apt-get clean

##### 3. Remove old Docker data:

docker system prune -a --volumes

##### 4. Remove unused packages:

sudo apt-get autoremove

#### βœ… Option 2: **Move Docker Storage to Another Drive or Partition**

If you have a second disk or external storage:

1. **Pick a larger partition (e.g. `/mnt/dockerdata`)**
2. Move Docker's data:

sudo systemctl stop docker
sudo mkdir -p /mnt/dockerdata
sudo rsync -aP /var/lib/docker/ /mnt/dockerdata/

3. **Point Docker to new location**:

sudo nano /etc/docker/daemon.json

Add:

{
  "data-root": "/mnt/dockerdata"
}

4. **Restart Docker**:

sudo systemctl start docker

5. **Check**:

docker info | grep "Docker Root Dir"

#### πŸ§ͺ Optional: Delete Large Logs or Unused Snap Packages

sudo journalctl --disk-usage
sudo journalctl --vacuum-time=3d
du -sh /var/lib/snapd
sudo snap list --all | awk '/disabled/{print $1, $2}' | while read snapname version; do sudo snap remove "$snapname" --revision="$version"; done

free up space
Assistant
Great β€” you're running out of space on `/dev/sdb1`, and we need to **quickly free up space**. Here's a step-by-step guide you can follow right now:

### βœ… **Step 1: Clean Docker Data**
This will remove all unused images, containers, networks, and volumes:

docker system prune -a --volumes

Confirm with `y` when prompted.

This can easily free up several gigabytes.

### βœ… **Step 2: Clean APT Cache**
Free space used by cached `.deb` files:

sudo apt-get clean

### βœ… **Step 3: Remove Orphaned Packages**
Unused packages still hanging around?

sudo apt-get autoremove

### βœ… **Step 4: Clear Old System Logs**
System logs can pile up in `/var/log` and journald.

sudo journalctl --vacuum-time=5d

This removes logs older than 5 days.

### βœ… **Step 5: Check Top Space Consumers**

See which directories are using the most space:

sudo du -hxd1 / | sort -hr | head -n 10

You might see big folders like `/var`, `/home`, or `/snap`. From here you can drill down further, e.g.:

sudo du -hxd1 /var | sort -hr | head -n 10

### βœ… **Step 6: Clean Unused Snap Versions (if using Snap)**

If you're using Snap (often enabled on Ubuntu), remove old versions:

sudo snap list --all | awk '/disabled/{print $1, $2}' | while read snapname revision; do sudo snap remove "$snapname" --revision="$revision"; done

### βœ… Bonus: Reboot to Clear Temporary Cache

sudo reboot

This may clear temporary system files as well.

After that, re-check space:

df -h /

Let me know if you want help **analyzing big folders** or **offloading Docker data** to another disk.

unistall skype ubuntu
Assistant
To uninstall Skype from Ubuntu, follow the method based on how it was installed:

### βœ… **If installed via `snap` (most common on Ubuntu):**

sudo snap remove skype

### βœ… **If installed via `.deb` package (from Skype website):**

sudo apt remove skypeforlinux
sudo apt autoremove

### βœ… **If unsure how it was installed, check both:**

1. **Check snap:**

snap list | grep skype

2. **Check apt:**

dpkg -l | grep skype

Then remove it using the appropriate command above.

Let me know if you also want to clean config/cache files left behind.

make update in ubuntu
Assistant
To update Ubuntu safely and completely, follow these steps in your terminal:

### βœ… **Step 1: Update package list**

sudo apt update

### βœ… **Step 2: Upgrade installed packages**

sudo apt upgrade -y

### βœ… **(Optional but recommended) Step 3: Full distribution upgrade**
This will upgrade packages that require removing old ones or installing new dependencies:

sudo apt full-upgrade -y

### βœ… **Step 4: Remove unused packages**

sudo apt autoremove -y

### βœ… **Step 5: Clean package cache**

sudo apt clean

### πŸ” **Optional: Reboot if a kernel or system package was updated**

sudo reboot

Let me know if you want to update from Ubuntu 22.04 to a newer version (e.g., 24.04), which is a different process.
