Immich uses all available memory and it maxes out all CPUs in my unraid server
It was fine like a week ago but started noticing my unraid server to not respond at all. I troubleshot the issue and found that if immich is not running, cpus idle properly and memory available is right around 75%. As soon as I run immich and start the jobs, in like 5 mins, CPUs go crazy, memory gets full and the server becomes unresponsive.
Can you point me in the right direction on how to fix this? If I need to uninstall and redeploy, it's fine too.
Let me know.
thanks!

Why on earth do you have 20 million library jobs… that doesn’t look right
Can you share the info requested in the bot? And also how you’ve configured the library’s import path(s)
I may have some corrupt files so the process is getting stuck in a loop. I'll grab the logs and report back. I don't use the backup function, import path is set but not being used. I have set up external libraries set up though.
Usually these amounts of jobs are because users put an output folder on an input path, for instance they add an external library but then place thumbnails/transcodes/... in that same folder. So each new thumbnail is also seen as new file to import
