Immich service periodically runs out of memory and stops during thumbnail generation
aside from this - I turned on built in raw previews, seems to have sped up the process a lot

Immich service periodically runs out of memory and stops during thumbnail generation
this is a good point, I have both JPEGs, CR2s and RAFs in there, RAF is very resource intensive to decode, I can see why it would use a lot of memory in 3 or 4 files at once

Immich service periodically runs out of memory and stops during thumbnail generation
update- done now and hasn't crashed yet or gone above 1.8G again. I brought the hi res previews from 1440p down to 1080, hasn't done much really but none of our phones have high enough resolution screens

Immich service periodically runs out of memory and stops during thumbnail generation
it's now been 45 minutes and it hasn't crashed again since setting the queue to two thumbnails and removing the memory limit from postgres - RAM usage hovering 1.6GB the whole time... will monitor. Still 30k images to go though, I'm sure it'll have plenty of time to crash, if it wants to

Immich service periodically runs out of memory and stops during thumbnail generation
FWIW - it seems to stay around the 1.4-1.8GB mark for a few minutes until something makes it shoot up and crash

Immich service periodically runs out of memory and stops during thumbnail generation
right now it seems to be ticking down the single queue and using barely 1.5GB of memory for the whole system - which is what it used to do before I screwed up the external library import as per OP - hence my assumption that 4GB was plenty enough

Immich service periodically runs out of memory and stops during thumbnail generation
I see - thanks. Reckon 8GB is enough? Postgre hasn't been hitting that limit so I guess I've been lucky in that regard- I've removed the limit and it doesn't seem to have any impact in usage

Why does the library size impact memory usage from the main immich service? I'd imagined it would impact the database service more

interesting - I figured it'd be more processor limited rather than memory limited

Thanks for looking into it! interestingly, Immich seems to ignore the queue settings at times - for instance, right now it's sitting on 2 thumbnail queues, but earlier it was on 6 despite the limit being set to 2
