Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

Yup. Nope.
Pictrs is just completely disabled now. Rather be safe, then sorry.
Is this why I couldn't upload a meme to the Lemmy World servers earlier today?
Fuck...
Yeah... Just wow. I disabled pictrs and deleted all its images, which also means all my community images/uploaded images are gone, and it's more of a hassle to see other people's images, but in the end I think it's worth it.
Through caching every image pictrs was also taking up a massive amount of space on my Pi, which I also use for Nextcloud. So that's another plus!
Note, apparently, lemmy will get pretty pissy if pictrs isn't working..... and the "primary" lemmy GUI will straight-up stop working.
Although, https://old.lemmyonline.com/ will still work.
And- I am with you. My pictrs storage, has ended up taking up quite a bit of room.
There has to be a more elegant way of dealing with this in the future, like de-coupling between Lemmy-account hosting (which effectively means acitivypub-fediverse account) and Lemmy-communities hosting.
Is disabling Pictrs as simple as stopping the Docker container?
Yup.
I sent a step further, and commented out the pictrs related configuration from the lemmy.hjson too.
Does that disable image saving and processing for one's instance?
Yup.
So far, mostly everything appears to work still. But, trying to upload an image, just throws an error.
I don't see a way to actually "gracefully" disable it, but, this works.
Edit- don't just stop pictrs.
Lemmy gets very pissy... and b reaks.
