Asked by sagarsprone
I have a droplet with 25 GB SSD and Docker running on it. My droplet memory is 100% utilized and now I cannot write even one file.
I have attached an external volume of 100GB and mounted it in the droplet. But now I am clueless about how to enable it in my docker and the application running on it.
Please help.
