I didn’t have to follow all that’s in there so to keep it short, use these commands.

Run this first:

Plaintext
lvextend -l +100%FREE /dev/ubuntu-vg/ubuntu-lv

Now, run this second command:

Plaintext
resize2fs /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-ubuntu--lv

Done! Refresh your Cloudron dashboard and check stats page. No reboot needed.
