Description

I just merged a dependabot PR to upgrade docker/build-push-action to 5 at https://github.com/KTH-Library/kontarion/blob/master/.github/workflows/push-kontarion.yml.

The previous build status was green but after merging the PR, the job fails with a "no disk space" annotation.

Expected behaviour

Bumping the version number for docker/build-push-action to 5 (dependabot also wanted to bump docker/setup-buildx-action, docker/metadata-action and docker/login-action one step up) was the only change since the previous succesful/green build, see https://github.com/KTH-Library/kontarion/actions/runs/4754371976.

So the expectation was to not see "no disk space" reported.

Actual behaviour

This annotation was shown:

No response

Additional info

The "no disk space" issue is similar to #238 - ie no logs but an "annotation" describes the issue.

Unclear what to do - can I clear out disk space somehow? Clear some caches?

How can I understand how to fix the issue?

Can/should my YAML workflow file be improved to avoid the "no disk space" issue?

This annotation was shown:

This error is returned by the runner, not the action. Like actions/runner#1807

I just merged a dependabot PR to upgrade docker/build-push-action to 5

I don't think this is related. Your last build was 5 months ago so maybe now there is less space left on runner version 2.309.0. You can try to revert to v4 if yo uwant but I think you will have the same issue. You can try freeing up disk space as suggested in actions/runner#1807 (comment).

Confirming that it does not seem related to docker/build-push-action. My issue seems to have been caused by either working off a upstream base image which may have grown(?) retrospectively even though I used a pinned version, or maybe more likely due to lower disk space available these days on the latest ubuntu runners when compared to five months ago.

I used this 4 minute step to free up 23 Gb disk space on the runner after the checkout step:

    - 
      name: Free disk space on Ubuntu runner 🔧
      uses: kfir4444/free-disk-space@main
      with:
        # frees about 6 GB, warning: may remove required tools
        tool-cache: false
        android: true
        dotnet: true
        haskell: true
        large-packages: true
        swap-storage: true

@crazy-max thanks so much for those pointers, you saved my day (again), the build is green and now I can get out and mill some real logs instead of slicing through text logs :)

Thinking that an official "docker/buildx-ubunturunner-freespace" step that removes all extra stuff not required for running a build-x job on a standard runner would be nice, 23 Gb is a substantial portion of the total available space!
