issues with typesense container

Hello, First of all, many thanks for your great work on immich and for your great support on this channel. I have installed immich on a rpi 4 8Gb with portainer, and it has been great for months now. I have lately decided to add ML and I don't know if it is related, but since I am experiencing some issues with the typesense container : - high cpu usage - tsdata is very large and would occupy most of my sd card On previous discussions here, I was told that the server could not connect to the typesense container (or the other way), that there are issues with typesense 0.24.1. I was told to delete tsdata and to use typesense 0.24 I did that, but I still have the same issues. The only way for me to keep immich alive at the moment is to disable typsense completely. I have tried to look on the github or here for similar issues, and have found few topics concerning typesense but no possible workaround in my case. Is it a known issue ? I believe that the dev team is targeting to replace typesense with postgres in the future. Many thanks for your support

To reduce Typesense's CPU usage, you can set the TYPESENSE_THREAD_POOL_SIZE env for the typesense service: 
environment:
      - TYPESENSE_API_KEY=${TYPESENSE_API_KEY}
      - TYPESENSE_DATA_DIR=/data
      - TYPESENSE_THREAD_POOL_SIZE=$(nproc)
environment:
      - TYPESENSE_API_KEY=${TYPESENSE_API_KEY}
      - TYPESENSE_DATA_DIR=/data
      - TYPESENSE_THREAD_POOL_SIZE=$(nproc)
The example above sets it to the number of CPU cores on the device. Edit: Actually, I think you'd need to set an actual number here since $(nproc) won't get evaluated.

Hi many thanks for your answer, I also have tried to limit the cpu usage of the container with Portainer but it was not enough I will try your solution may I bother you a bit further and ask you what is the size of your tsdata volume ? I believe that I will not have enough space on my sd card and that I would need to move this volume on my nas ok, I think I have find something. I have deleted the typesense container and the tsdata volume before creating it again (using 0.24.0 version). And then in Immich, I run the "Tag objects" and "Encode Clip" jobs again now things seem to be working properly : no high IO, tsdata volume size is contained
