Hi, I have a single droplet running Nginx on Ubuntu 16.04. I am hosting 3 WordPress sites and was wondering if the is a way to limited storage space in which each of the sites can use. Thanks

Normally, you’d enable quotas, though from my testing prior to responding, it doesn’t seem that doing that works as it should. I’ve tested this on Ubuntu 14-16.04 and 16.10, though the errors persist, so what I’ve done is submit a ticket to DigitalOcean asking them to see if it’s possible.
I know that DigitalOcean doesn’t allow you to modify the kernel and on the stock kernels that come w/ Ubuntu, quota won’t work. To confirm this, I installed the kernel updates as well as the quota package and then used modprobe where needed. While I could bring up the correct files on each user, it’d fail when saving the changes.
As soon as I hear back from DigitalOcean, I’ll update this ticket to confirm whether or not this is indeed possible.
