A few days ago I’ve updated Ubuntu to 18.04, since then it has not stopped filling the disk space.
If i write the command “df -h” it says that the use is 100% (20Gb), but if i see size of all the folders then i have 10Gb (50% max.). Then, where is the file size increasing?
If I delete files to increase the size, when a time passes, it will fill up again (100%). Could it be problem with the Apache configuration?

Hey friend,
I found something that may be able to help you with this: https://ma.ttias.be/clear-systemd-journal/

The answer above just clears the log until it will fill up again. This permanently fixes it by limiting the log file folder maximum size:
Edit /etc/systemd/journald.conf
Activate the SystemMaxUse= option there, e.g. as SystemMaxUse=500M
Done…
