Hi there,
Yes, it is possible to resize a volume via the DigitalOcean API:
https://developers.digitalocean.com/documentation/v2/#resize-a-volume
Another option is to use the
doctlcommand-line tool:https://docs.digitalocean.com/reference/doctl/reference/compute/volume-action/resize/
You could write a script that checks the usage of the specific disk and if the usage is higher than 80% you could use one of the above methods to resize the disk.
The command to get the disk usage percentage would look like this:
Hope that this helps! Regards, Bobby
@bobbyiliev Thanks!!! And when I resize the volume via
doctlthe volume is disabled while increasing the size?
