RabbitMQ finishes up all space in EC2 machine - amazon-web-services

Question

I have a RabbitMQ single instance running on docker on an EC2 machine on AWS
It runs out of disk somehow, I don't quite understand how because I'm using it just to submit messages, and I haven't configured any persistence for them.
I've even added this to the config, but this was only a temporary solution:
loopback_users.guest = false
log.console = true
disk_free_limit.absolute = 2GB
After a few weeks work I've gotten this from my python client:
Connection <Connection: "amqp://admin:******#rabbitmq:5672/" at 0x7ff757125d00> was blocked by: 'low on disk'
My usage is like so:
Publisher:
url = config.RABBITMQ_URL
self.connection = await connect(url)
async with self.connection:
channel = await self.connection.channel()
exchange = await channel.declare_exchange("quotes", ExchangeType.FANOUT)
message_body = json.dumps(msg).encode()
message = Message(message_body, delivery_mode=DeliveryMode.NOT_PERSISTENT, expiration=300)
await exchange.publish(message, routing_key="quote")
logger.debug(f"Message sent: {message.body}")
Subscriber:
async def on_message(message: AbstractIncomingMessage):
async with message.process():
decoded_msg = message.body.decode()
quote: Quote = json.loads(decoded_msg)
strategy: Strategy
for strategy in strategies:
if strategy.symbol == quote["symbol"]:
await strategy(quote)
async def main():
connection = await connect(url=config.RABBITMQ_URL)
async with connection:
channel = await connection.channel()
await channel.set_qos(prefetch_count=1)
exchange = await channel.declare_exchange("quotes", ExchangeType.FANOUT)
queue = await channel.declare_queue(name="quotes")
await queue.bind(exchange, routing_key="quote")
await queue.consume(on_message)
print(" [x] Waiting for quotes. To exit press CTRL+C")
try:
await asyncio.Future()
finally:
await connection.close()
This is how i start up the RabbitMQ container:
services:
rabbitmq:
image: rabbitmq:3-management
container_name: rabbitmq
restart: always
ports:
- "5672:5672"
- "15672:15672"
environment:
RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_USER: ${RABBITMQ_USERNAME}
RABBITMQ_DEFAULT_PASS: ${RABBITMQ_PASSWORD}
volumes:
- ./conf/:/etc/rabbitmq/conf.d/
healthcheck:
test: rabbitmq-diagnostics -q ping
interval: 30s
timeout: 30s
retries: 3
I use the aio_pika python library as the RabbitMQ client
