I recently spun up a full node on a VPS with a 90 GB hard disk. The full node has been functioning so nicely that I opted to install Insight explorer to access and visualize the node's data.

Ever since installing it and first running, the Insight database has taken up a massive amount of hard disk space and isn't done configuring yet! As I stand, when I connect to my webserver to check Insight's status, it says that syncing only at 73% (after 2 days!). I've noticed that over the past two days, the insight frontend has gotten much slower also.

Overall, in terms of hard disk space, I've used up 73 GB of space. Considering that the blockchain size is ~30GB, his would imply that Insight has filled up at least and extra 30GB.

Is this normal? Can it be reigned in? Has anyone here had any experience with setting up the Insight explorer?

Any help would be immensely appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
