QDirStat

QDirStat is a graphical application to show where your disk space has gone and to help you to clean it up.

This is a Qt-only port of the old Qt3/KDE3-based KDirStat, now based on the latest Qt 5. It does not need any KDE libs or infrastructure. It runs on every X11-based desktop on Linux, BSD and other Unix-like systems and of course in a Docker container.

  Tipi Specific Note

  By default, qDirStat will analyze the /runtipi/ directory, not the whole system that tipi is installed on!
