  • Just in case: If your storage is completely full all of a sudden, check /var/log/nginx if you haven’t pointed the logs elsewhere.

    I know I was pretty confused to find my storage absolutely full, then I found the multi-GB error.log file. When a network interface it was listening on disappeared it filled with errors as such:

    2024/12/10 07:57:06 [alert] 20420#20420: accept4() failed (22: Invalid argument)
    2024/12/10 07:57:06 [alert] 20420#20420: accept4() failed (22: Invalid argument)
    2024/12/10 07:57:06 [alert] 20420#20420: accept4() failed (22: Invalid argument)
    2024/12/10 07:57:06 [alert] 20420#20420: accept4() failed (22: Invalid argument)
    2024/12/10 07:57:06 [alert] 20420#20420: accept4() failed (22: Invalid argument)
    2024/12/10 07:57:06 [alert] 20420#20420: accept4() failed (22: Invalid argument)
    

    (I just reproduced that now on-demand, thus the date.)

    There’s a tool called logrotate to take care of logs, but I just did the stupid and lazy thing…

    error_log /dev/null;
    

    Well, in case you get the idea to run NGINX in Termux, and then later you find your phone hot, stuck in a bootloop, it’s possible the error.log filled the storage causing Android to crash because it now can’t even write system files.
    Not that I would have done such thing…
