I recently set up Homarr in a Docker container, and it unexpectedly ballooned to use up all available space on my hard drive, causing my computer to fail to start properly. I'm trying to understand why this happened. So far, I've managed to identify the container causing the issue and removed it since I couldn't even start Docker at that point. Fortunately, I hadn't done much setup, so it wasn't a huge problem. I'm looking for tips on how to prevent this from happening in the future. Any insights?

It sounds like your Homarr container is generating a massive amount of logs. Have you checked how much space it's actually taking up? Some users have reported excessive logging can be an issue with this app. Also, what about your RAM usage? Sometimes, low resource setups can handle it differently. Just to clarify, is this a local Docker installation or a remote one?
I checked, and it was using around 720GB of storage even though I hadn't set much up yet. RAM was about 6GB, which seemed normal.
