forge disk size defaults to 20 GB .... how to create bigger?

Using AWS, and setting up servers through forge. THere is no setting for disk or volume size, so it defaults to a 20GB disk. apparently too small for me. Forge documentation doesn't seem to have anything about it.

I noticed this the other day, I don't see a way to set this in Forge but in order to change the size, you'll need to do it all from AWS :(

Yep thanks. I did it and it was easy.

@nouvre Marvelous! I was wondering if you could kindly tell us how you expanded your EBS Storage from 20GB to whatever you chose?

@fshequin Why not use an actual storage solution, such as S3, instead of bumping a 4 year old question?

If you can’t get a Laravel app to run in 20 GB (which is a massive amount of space) then you’re doing something wrong.

@martinbean I'm not running Lararvel servers, I'm running Wordpress Servers, and some are quite large...holding masses of images and PDF's....but a CDN based on S3 could work....to hold that one folders files......then main disk could stay at 20GB. I'd still lpve to have any easy way to add 10GB and make it 30GB....
