There have been a number of tickets in the past - most recently #7061 - covering the fact that Dokku doesn't clean up disk utilization. The underlying issue is that Docker uses build cache that cannot be cleaned up in a targeted way - and usually doesn't even respect the builder gc settings in a way that makes sense. In fact, the computed disk space does not line up with actual disk utilization, causing it to be a mystery to anyone investigating the underlying problem. This change introduces a cron-based mechanism that cleans up disk once a day. Cleaning up more often would potentially cause issues during a build if for some reason the prune and an app deploy happened at the same time - its not clear if there is a lock on build cache usage - so cleaning up after hours once a day is a decent tradeoff. In the future, this setting may be modifiable, but it works well for now. Closes #7061

Requirements
A fresh VM running any of the following operating systems:
- Ubuntu 20.04 / 22.04 / 24.04 x64 - Any currently supported release
- Debian 10+ x64
- Arch Linux x64 (experimental)
An SSH keypair that can be used for application deployment. If this exists before installation, it will be automatically imported into dokku.
Otherwise, you will need to import the keypair manually after installation using dokku ssh-keys:add.
Installation
To install the latest stable release, run the following commands as a user who has access to sudo:
wget -NP . https://dokku.com/install/v0.34.9/bootstrap.sh
sudo DOKKU_TAG=v0.34.9 bash bootstrap.sh
You can then proceed to configure your server domain (via dokku domains:set-global) and user access (via dokku ssh-keys:add) to complete the installation.
If you wish for a more unattended installation method, see these docs.
