Successfully submitted, a tag has been added to inform contributors. :white_check_mark:ive restarted the docker and can see during the 1st search there is an error doing smart search, it seems to be to do with memory hoiwever ive got plent of memory left
oom_killer means the process that was using all that memory was killed, and thus freeing it up again @elco
So of course there is plenty available after OOM killer did it's job
You also seem to have some missing thumbnails in the first log
so you are saying for smart search i needto put in more than 6 gigs ? im seeing the ram usage graph and it never spikes up so not sure what is oging on here
sorry for the late reply i was out
i dont know what went wrong, but everything was fine I had it set to 6gigs all this time but recent update seems to have messed it up
Did you change ML model perhaps?
i didnt change it myself no, its currentely on ViT-B-32__openai
I guess either 6GiB was right at the edge of what it needs or something else is at play here
Usually you'd see a "SIGKILL" message in the container logs though
Did you limit system resources using the Docker Compose file?
i have not
ypu nothing
so i disabeld balooning on the vm. seems i dont get that error on the right side in immich and i dont see anythign on immich logs
it seems thing such as "car" , "boat" doesnt work but for some erason if i write something like "rat" as an example it works ??? seems very much a hit and miss
ram usage sitting at 2gigs
yh the smart search is all over the place its giving me quite wrong results
Can I update immich to last version and check?
its already on latest version
thats how it messed up, i think in past 2 updates or so
can you re-generate all thumbnails? It seems that you have some thumbnail errors on disk, and then perhaps run "missing" on smart search? That should likely take care of the first portion.
If you watch your ram usage in realtime (using something like htop), and then do a search, or multiple searches, how much free ram do you have remaining?
yes running them now, while i wait ive done a re gen all thumbnails and ive got a lot of erros to do with missing file when it tries to run thumbnail gen, do i need to run some other job before this ? I also get erros to do with input file contains unsupported image format
and to add on top of that, some videos seem to fail ffmpeg error 234 convesion failed
smart search does seem to be workign now though so thats good, one issue fixed !
Did you delete files from your immich installation manually (from the file system)?
i have not
Then that's really strange. It almost sounds like a broken install if you're unable to create thumbnails for files because they're missing
i mean for the videos
it says invalid data found when processing input
thinking should i run any other type of jubs before
