Having an issue with pictrs after full disk (leemyalone.org)

The virtual disk for my lemmy instance filled up which caused lemmy to throw a lot of errors. I resized the disk and expanded the filesystem but now the pictrs container is constantly restarting.

Is there a way to reset the pictrs DB without affecting the posts, commenst and users DB?

[–] SpecGeo 1 points 1 year ago

You can try mounting a new folder as pictrs volume. I assume your other data will be safe since it is in the database.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

pictrs database is completely separate from lemmy database. If you want you just delete everything in the pictrs volume and start afresh. You will lose all images though.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's only two local posts on my instance so i'm not worried about losing thoseabout.

Will the pictrs from subscribed communities in other instances be restored after a db reset?

pictrs from subscribed communities in other instances

Dont worry about those. Those images are not stored by your pictrs instance. They are directly fetched from the native instances.

OK. I just deleted the pictrs folder from srv/lemmy/leemyalone.org/volumes but I am still having the same issue.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You'll have to check again. My guess is though you should not have deleted the pictrs folders. Just its contents. You can recreate the folder again though:

mkdir pictrs
sudo chown 991:991 pictrs

But check the logs first.

In my previous comment I should have mentioned that I did recreate the pictrs folder. Your instruction to change set the ownership of the pictures folder to 991:991 did the trick.

Thank you so much for your help here. Much appreciated.
