It has zswap and a swapfile of about 8 gb, and it gets fully utilized

oh wow thanks, ill see if that fixes it! weird that it doesnt get killed by OOM killer on my server

yeah i changed that because i was testing. but i now realize that was dumb. ive change both the hostname and the url to pictrs. OMG that just worked… i feel so dumb rn. it is strange tho because that wasnt working before. Thanks for all the help :)

hmm after looking i dont even see an option to change the port (in pictrs). it seems stuck at 8080, but since its running on its own network, i doubt it would matter.

PICTRS__SERVER__API_KEY

the config in docker compose looks like

  pictrs:
    image: asonix/pictrs:0.4.0
    # this needs to match the pictrs url in lemmy.hjson
    hostname: 127.0.0.1
    # we can set options to pictrs like this, here we set max. image size and forced format for conversion
    # entrypoint: /sbin/tini -- /usr/local/bin/pict-rs -p /mnt -m 4 --image-format webp
    environment:
      - PICTRS_OPENTELEMETRY_URL=http://otel:4137
      - PICTRS__SERVER__API_KEY=****
      - RUST_LOG=debug
      - RUST_BACKTRACE=full
      - PICTRS__MEDIA__VIDEO_CODEC=vp9
      - PICTRS__MEDIA__GIF__MAX_WIDTH=256
      - PICTRS__MEDIA__GIF__MAX_HEIGHT=256
      - PICTRS__MEDIA__GIF__MAX_AREA=65536
      - PICTRS__MEDIA__GIF__MAX_FRAME_COUNT=400
    user: 991:991

and in the config it is

  pictrs: {
    url: "http://127.0.0.1:8080/"
    api_key: "****"
  }

the password on both is the same so i don’t see what is going wrong :(

it does appear to be in its own network (according to portainer) the error log in the lemmy container is

2023-07-23T13:58:44.850844Z  WARN lemmy_server::root_span_builder: Request error: error sending request for url (http://127.0.0.1:8080/image): error trying to connect: tcp connect error: Connection refused (os error 111)

Reqwest(reqwest::Error { kind: Request, url: Url { scheme: "http", cannot_be_a_base: false, username: "", password: None, host: Some(Ipv4(127.0.0.1)), port: Some(8080), path: "/image", query: None, fragment: None }, source: hyper::Error(Connect, ConnectError("tcp connect error", Os { code: 111, kind: ConnectionRefused, message: "Connection refused" })) })

no errors appear when i look at the pictrs log. I don’t know why it says password: None as i’ve set a password

yeah I’ve already done that, I did sudo chown -r 991:991 volumes/pictrs. what details do you need about my setup? edit: I do know another program is already using port 8080 on my host machine, or does that not matter when it’s running inside docker?
