Hey Musharraf,
If you’ve hit the max disk space for your current Droplet and can’t resize any further, I would suggest a few things:
Request a larger plan: Sometimes the bigger instance types (with more disk) are not visible by default. You can reach out to DigitalOcean support and request access to larger Droplet plans. That might give you more room to grow.
Move to a storage-optimized Droplet: Another approach is to spin up a new storage-optimized Droplet and move your MySQL Galera data over. These Droplets are built for workloads like databases and come with more storage out of the box.
Consider Managed Databases: If you want to skip all the hassle of managing disk and infrastructure yourself, Managed MySQL could be a good fit. You get automatic backups, scaling, and maintenance handled for you.
Hope htat this helps.
