Introduce a setting to tune the number of requests made to generate thumbnails

[oparoz]

Feature request

User type: All

User level: intermediate

Description

Not all server hardware is created equal, so we should make it possible for admins to configure how many parallel requests are made to the server.

Benefit / value

This would prevent something like a Pi from using all its memory to generate thumbnails, since each request uses up to the maximum amount allocated to PHP.

This would also allow powerful servers to deal with more simulatneous requests.

Risk / caveats

None

Sponsorship

None so far

Implementation

This should be a setting in gallery.cnf

All the logic happens here: https://github.com/nextcloud/gallery/blob/master/js/galleryalbum.js
