Hi  
I have the line in my config like this…

proxy\_cache\_path /var/cache/disk1/nginx\_proxy\_cache levels=2:2:2  
keys\_zone=disk1:500m inactive=36h max\_size=95000m;

This regularly finds its way over 100GB… anything more I can do to make  
it stick to 95GB?

Apologies, it is not the cache taking up the space, it is the temp  
directory. But why is it still writing (and more importantly, not  
deleting!) the temp files. I disabled them in the config:

```
                    proxy_temp_path 

```

/var/cache/disk1/nginx\_proxy\_temp9001 1 2 3;  
proxy\_max\_temp\_file\_size 0;

/var/cache/disk1/nginx\_proxy\_temp9001# du -sh  
51G .

😮

Many thanks
