It surely doesn't requires 10GB, although it does require a significant amount of space in Multiple GB due to the way it works in Docker.

May be something could be done to the base image.

Or just try running ./launcher cleanup

I don't want to seem rude, but to my ignorant eyes and those of its users, it's a forum software that requires a 10GB hard disk to install, and 20GB to update. I know that there will be a lot of technical details that will justify (or not) why, but, hey, that's a lot for a forum and there is no sane alternative way to install it.

I've found that I'm not alone: https://meta.discourse.org/search?q=disk%20space

There are entire pages of users complaining about the same or related problems.

At the end of the day, it's (almost) free... so what are we complaining for?

I know. It surely sounds silly, but my guess is that instead of having to troubleshoot thousands of different possibl configuration with different dependency and OS library. The way it is currently distributed is not just "forum" software, it is the whole OS + Database and All other Software required along with Backup etc.
