Image uploads currently busted (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I was informed about something going wrong here and investigation showed that it's worse than I thought. My Contabo Object Storage started claiming it's full, even though it's only half-full. I opened a ticket to tell them to fix their shit, but knowing their speed, it might be a few more days :-/

That's what I get for choosing the budget services...

From my knowledge this started on the 9th.

I see some uploads on the 10th, so almost correct.

Maybe as a stopgap, you can try cleaning up the auto-generated variants (alternate-size thumbnails) that pict-rs has stored? Might get you under whatever threshold was tripped while supports works out the main issue.

https://git.asonix.dog/asonix/pict-rs/#user-content-api

DELETE /internal/variants : Queue a cleanup for generated variants of uploaded images.`

If any of the cleaned variants are fetched again, they will be re-generated.

My instance is fairly conservative with media uploads and cached thumbnails, but it shaved off a few gigs that had accumulated over 6-7 months. Heads up that the call to that endpoint will return immediately as it just queues the job in pictrs.

Unfortunately I already tried deleting some backups I had in there. After 10Gb freed, it still gave me the same issue. So I think it's some bug on their end.

Ah, gotcha. Definitely a more comprehensive "them" problem than I was imagining. Hope they get ya sorted.

I can suggest using other cheap alternatives since there are many. I tried Contabo before and it wasn’t a good experience.

Ye I'm getting increasingly frustrated with them. The main problem is how fast can a pict-rs OS migration happen.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

I think you can migrate files while pict-rs running in read-only mode, without downtime. Then changing the S3 url should be enough, I guess? :)

Read-only mode is a v0.5 feature tho.

I really need to do that upgrade too and am not terribly looking forward to it as it looks complex

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

It's not as complex as much as time consuming. Shout if you need a hand
