# Database maintenance
|
|
|
|
!!! Note
|
|
|
|
You do not need to setup a cleanup cron anymore as there is now an automatic cleaning process in Invidious.
|
|
Since this pull request: [https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/pull/3294](https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/pull/3294).
|
|
But this page is left in case you need to manually cleanup the database.
|
|
|
|
Invidious needs one PostgreSQL database which has the following tables.
|
|
|
|
- `annotations` Caches annotation data if `cache_annotations` is enabled in [`config.yml`](./configuration.md)
|
|
- `channel_videos` Stores truncated video info, used to create user feeds
|
|
- `channels` Stores UCID and author name
|
|
- `nonces` Keeps track of tokens issued to prevent CSRF
|
|
- `users` Stores user info, such as preferences, username, subscriptions
|
|
- `session_ids` Keeps track of user sessions
|
|
- `videos` Stores video cache, used to create "top" page
|
|
|
|
The table `videos` grows a lot and needs the most storage. You can clean it up using following commands:
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ sudo -i -u postgres
|
|
$ psql invidious -c "DELETE FROM nonces * WHERE expire < current_timestamp"
|
|
$ psql invidious -c "TRUNCATE TABLE videos"
|
|
$ exit
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For regular maintenance you should add a cronjob for these commands
|
|
```bash
|
|
@weekly psql invidious -c "DELETE FROM nonces * WHERE expire < current_timestamp" > /dev/null
|
|
@weekly psql invidious -c "TRUNCATE TABLE videos" > /dev/null
|
|
```
