Heya, @souvikhaldarlobster

You can start with reviewing your build scripts - npm run build:staging to make sure they’re not creating unnecessary temporary files or excessive log data and creating multiple processes in the background (you can use a tool like ps aux to see a list of all running processes and their parent processes) .

You can check your current disk usage by running df -h or du -h in your server’s terminal. This will help you identify which directories or files are consuming the most storage. You can then remove unnecessary files or data to free up space.

Try running your build process in a Docker container. This can help to isolate the build process from the rest of your system and can also help to clean up temporary files automatically.

Heya,

Review your Build Process: First, understand what npm run build:staging is doing. Check the scripts section in your package.json to see what commands are being executed. This will give you insight into why multiple background processes are being created.
