Issues with OCR - Permission denied

After updating to 2.2.0 I wanted to run OCR on all assets (as was recommended in the update post). I got suspicious when it took really long and always processed 12 images at the exact same time according to the ui (the amount of concurrency I set it to). Checking the logs, I saw this:

Now I am definitely not out of memory and I am somewhat unsure what the Permission Error means. (Really sorry for the broken Encoding, that's what TrueNAS shows to me.

Have you considered the worker is perhaps out of memory
miasinterestinglife
i have, but my server currently has 6 GB of free memory so I doubt that would be the issue I'm gonna try raising the memory limit in truenas (currently at 4GB) still throwing the same error with 8GB of memory (the app is using 3GB while throwing that error) actually seems to be fine now and the log didn't update thanks for the help!
