Thanks. I noticed and reset the server a few minutes ago.
Something has been off recently. The CPU is spiking and the RAM gets used up, which crashes the pict-rs container. The pict-rs won’t reconnect until I reset the lemmy Docker container.
I doubled the RAM and added one core, but that was not enough to stop this problem, which means that whatever is causing these spikes is unconstrained. I need to look more deeply into Docker memory management to see if I can limit RAM usage such that the crash can be avoided while remaining functional.
Thanks. I have looked into it a bit more and I think that it is the postgres database grabbing all the memory it can. I have set a hard limit for the postgres container. Hopefully this resolves the problem!
Yes, sorry. It is a problem that started over the weekend. I thought I had patched it by doubling the server’s RAM and adding a core, but that was not enough. Some process is causing the RAM use to spike and the image backend is crashing because of that.
Are images from mander.xyz broken for anyone else?
@Sal@mander.xyz Another whack-a-mole.

Goodluck, comrade.
