I spent an hour cleaning up my disk because I wasn't sure
how much space the repo would take. Lets at least state
some ballpark numbers.

weird. on my VM I have it is only using 5.4G in the root fs, and that is after I ran an update to latest.

either way. LGTM!

dustymabe commented 6 years ago

actually.. maybe we should guide them much larger than that. As soon as they start downloading flatpaks or containers from a registry they are going to need much more.

Maybe recommend at least 10G and preferably much larger than that.

One thing to note here is that by default ostree won't continue if you have less than 3% disk space left. Though I agree it's good to give a size estimate on the outset.
