Recovery Tool" The tool name has been updated to better reflect the project and its maintainer.
Why?
This script helps recover a Debian server when it runs out of disk space, specifically focusing on getting the Docker daemon running again. It takes an interactive, step-by-step approach to free up disk space without destructively removing Docker data.
Safety First 🛡️
This script is designed to be safe and non-destructive:
- ✅ Preserves all container data
- ✅ Keeps all Docker images intact
- ✅ Maintains running containers
- ✅ Protects active Docker volumes
- ✅ Interactive process (asks before each action)
- ✅ Only cleans logs and temporary files
The script NEVER:
- ❌ Deletes container data
- ❌ Removes running containers
- ❌ Deletes Docker images
- ❌ Removes active Docker volumes
- ❌ Modifies container configurations
