  Pretty much every provider that is providing Debian13 so far. I didn't look very hard but I didn't see this in Debian's repo so I'm not sure where it is coming from, maybe by whoever is making the template providers are using?

  Here it is, from upstream:

  I did a manual upgrade to Debian 13 and experienced exactly that, my disk completely filled up, and after reboting it went back to like 30% lol. Now slowly going back up and sitting at 74%. The VM is just pretty much idling btw, only has a few small services.
  

  I don't have that config file tho:

  root@nl19:~# df -h /
  Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
  /dev/vda1        29G   20G  7.1G  74% /
  root@nl19:~# cat /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf
  cat: /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf: No such file or directory
  

  lmao

  syslog-ng is not installed by default, your's must have some other issue.

  I noticed the same thing after Debian 13 upgrade even without any templates. And there was no setting for it in the config file so the default must be 1.

  syslog-ng is not installed by default. Only those who can't manage journalctl installing syslog-ng to again enjoy that sweet sweet /var/log/syslog .
