Gossip is not a "it just works" program. There are a lot of things you need to manage.
It used to be that you needed to compress your own LMDB from time to time, but nobody even knew that. Eventually I made it compress on startup.
This issue is to list all the things people should be regularly managing. As I think of them, I'll come back here and add more. Eventually this will be a document.
(This is on startup now) Compressing LMDB
Disabling useless relay URLs, e.g. with 'disable_relay' command
Backing up their LMDB database
Pruning their database
(Pending notifies about these now): Merging lists, publishing relay lists, advertising
We could add reminders with direct action buttons ("clear download cache now") (periodic or triggered by database size, cache size, etc) in the 'pending' section.
