Question
Why needs Wordpress now 30GB?
Hello there,
today I wanted to create a new droplet for Wordpress and I noticed that I now need a droplet with a least 30GB of space.
I use these droplets for development and therefore the smallest tier was always enough for me and I must say that I don’t really see the necessity for 30GB ssd space.
Is this on purpose and will it eventually change? It is a bit cumbersone to create a linux droplet and then have to install Wordpress manually what works just fine on a 20GB droplet.
Regards,
Georg

Thanks for asking this question.. I was wondering this too; especially after looking up that a vanilla WordPress install only took about 20 MB! :)
+1 to change the message from requiring more disk space to needing more RAM; I would have easily accepted that without any confusion! lol
