App build environment size

Hello, my app build environment (created via ctrlX WORKS) keeps growing and is currently at 26 GB. Is this normal?

Hello,

It's just an ubuntu virtual machine with some script to automate the SDK installation, nothing really strange, Depends of what you are doing with the build env.
Anyway i create and destroy them really often beacuse i do many tests and they got dirty quick with the strange tests i do, if you don't like the size delete it and create a new one 🙂

Two more hints from my side: 

  1. By default the size of a App Build Environment is limited to 32 GB. You can limit the size of your App Build Environment before you first start it (after the create in ctrlX Works before clicking play). Therefore open the launch.bat and edit this line (change 32 to the size you like): 
    qemu-img create -b %IMG% -f qcow2 %QCOW2% -F qcow2 32G​
  2. While searching in the web for a solution I found many different workarounds. I haven't tried it myself but maybe this blog can help you. 

 

Best regards,

Nick
