How to Fix Playa3ull Node 0% Uptime & Disk Full Errors (Linux - Ubuntu 20+ Guide)
* For Use on Linux VPS Only…docker needs to be installed…only use this code if the only thing you have running on your VPS is a #3ULL node.
Here is the exact command list to do a “clean install” of the node without touching your Docker installation, and still perform the “clean” that is needed of old files/log files.
Phase 1: The “Wipe” (Simulate a fresh start)
First, we stop the current node and remove it so we can start from scratch.
1) Stop the running node:
💥 docker stop 3ull_node
2) Remove the container:
💥 docker rm 3ull_node
3) Clean up old data (Optional but recommended): “This clears out any old cached data or junk files from the previous installation.”
💥 docker system prune -a --volumes -f
Phase 2: The “Optimized Install” (The main tutorial)
Now we install the node the RIGHT way, with log limits to prevent crashes.
1) Download the latest update:
⚡ docker pull ghcr.io/playa3ull/node
2) Run the Node (The “Golden” Command):
I put <YOUR_LICENSE_KEY> as a placeholder for the video, but you know to use your real one).
docker run --restart unless-stopped -d --name 3ull_node \
--log-opt max-size=200m \
--log-opt max-file=3 \
ghcr.io/playa3ull/node \
--license=<YOUR_LICENSE_KEY>
3) Verify it’s running:
⚡ docker ps
Node status should be running now.
Phase 3: The Automation (The “Secret Sauce”)
“Finally, we add a weekly janitor script so you never have to maintain this server again.”
1) Open the Scheduler:
⚡ crontab -e
2) Add the Weekly Cleanup Line At the Bottom of the Nano Editor
⚡ 0 3 * * 0 docker system prune --volumes -f
3) Save & Exit Nano editor:
⚡ Ctrl+X → y → Enter
