Determine file clean-up requirements for server #64

Closed AmandaBirmingham closed 6 years ago

AmandaBirmingham commented 7 years ago

Right now, each xlsx file generated is saved on the server and delivered from there to the user for download. Obviously, there will need to be some mechanism to clear old xlsx files off the server from time to time so the server doesn't slowly run out of storage--but also obviously we don't want to remove them too soon. Please provide input on how long you want to save them and any other concerns/messaging you want to address around this point.

How much storage is on the server?

AmandaBirmingham commented 7 years ago

On the teeny server that it is currently running on, there are 8 gigs of storage.

adswafford commented 7 years ago

That should be plenty for the text files for a while, so this is a low-priority nice to have.

Now that we're on the Qiita servers, I think this should move to a Qiita clean-up issue instead of Qiimp. Reopen if I'm mistaken.
