Limit updates and Disk IO

[pcace]

Hi there,

i am running this awesome overpass docker on slightly smaller hardware. with enough, but not fast SSDs. The issue i am having is that the constant updates every minute generate a lot of disk IOs.
Is there a way to limit the update cycles? (for example OVERPASS_UPDATE_SLEEP=86400?)
is it possilbe to use a daily update branch for example: OVERPASS_DIFF_URL=https://planet.openstreetmap.org/replication/day/?

what would be the correct way to do that?

Thanks a lot for help!
