I did a minor version upgrade for my RocketChat server and it jump in storage?

Description

ISSUE 1: After setting up my storage, I am confused as to why my storage for my root volume is so high. When I run df -h I see the following:

/app/bundle $ df -h

It used to be 40 GiB used but now it doubled with the upgrade. Why is this occurring?

ISSUE 2: I came across another issue for the logs of /livez and /readyz. Before, I had /health and was working great until I upgraded and saw this:

{"level":40,"time":"2025-10-22T00:58:21.384Z","pid":1,"hostname":"rocketchat-rocketchat-58d8b79d86-8dbpr","name":"System","msg":"Deprecated /health endpoint was called. Please update to /livez or /readyz."}
{"level":40,"time":"2025-10-22T00:58:33.020Z","pid":1,"hostname":"rocketchat-rocketchat-58d8b79d86-8dbpr","name":"System","msg":"Deprecated /health endpoint was called. Please update to /livez or /readyz."} 
{"level":40,"time":"2025-10-22T00:58:36.383Z","pid":1,"hostname":"rocketchat-rocketchat-58d8b79d86-8dbpr","name":"System","msg":"Deprecated /health endpoint was called. Please update to /livez or /readyz."} 
{"level":40,"time":"2025-10-22T00:58:48.022Z","pid":1,"hostname":"rocketchat-rocketchat-58d8b79d86-8dbpr","name":"System","msg":"Deprecated /health endpoint was called. Please update to /livez or /readyz."}

So I figured I should change readinessProbe to /readyz and livenessProbe to /livez. Once I did this my deployment would continuously fail with the following message:

│ {"level":50,"time":"2025-10-22T01:01:49.769Z","pid":1,"hostname":"rocketchat-rocketchat-5977bdfd49-swq79","name":"System","msg":"Liveness check failed","details":{"status":"unavailable","checks":{"memory":{"status":"degraded","percentile":92.83},"eventLoop":{"status":"ok","lagMs":17.55},"mongo":{"status":"ok"}}}}                                                                                                        │
│ {"level":40,"time":"2025-10-22T01:01:51.810Z","pid":1,"hostname":"rocketchat-rocketchat-5977bdfd49-swq79","name":"System","msg":"Readiness check failed","details":{"status":"unavailable","checks":{"memory":{"status":"degraded","percentile":92.8},"eventLoop":{"status":"ok","lagMs":11.02},"mongo":{"status":"ok"}}}}

I thought huh, that’s a pretty high memory. Let me increase my resources for my memory to 4Gi and I still receive this error.

So a twofold issue that I am experiencing. Would appreciate any help since we are wanting to move to Enterprise license with RocketChat.

Server Setup Information

  • Version of Rocket.Chat Server: v7.11
  • Operating System: Alpine
  • Deployment Method: Helm Chart (AWS EKS)
  • Number of Running Instances: 1
  • MongoDB Version: v7.0.25
  • Proxy: No proxy
  • Firewalls involved: None

I did a minor version upgrade

From what?

7.10.x > 7.11.0 is not minor.

7.10.0 > 7.10.1 is.

There happened to be substantial changes in 7.11.0 as per the changelogs.

No idea on that.

You have changed File Storage rom GridFS to local as per the docs?

Not sure what you were running before or how many users you have, but I’d imagine you would want 4Gb even for a small system.

If you run enterprise you’ll probably want more.

Sure if you contact sales they can get you signed up and help youbresolve yoi issues.
