In Nextcloud logs, I get Memory allocation error: Security limit exceeded: Allocating (size) exceeds the security limit of 536870912 bytes (6.1000)
The CPU usage then stays huge.

The issue seems to be coming from sharp and libvips according to my researchs. It has been discussed on immich:
- https://github.com/immich-app/immich/issues/17500
- https://github.com/immich-app/immich/issues/14316
Here are some MR on libvips that seem to talk about this: https://github.com/libvips/libvips/pull/4398 https://github.com/libvips/libvips/pull/4399 Is this related ?
I've also encountered this issue with 200MP pictures!
This is likely a problem with your image library linking against libheif (e.g., Imagick) and setting an insufficient maximum memory limit, not Nextcloud itself. Ref https://github.com/ImageMagick/ImageMagick/issues/8109
@gu1lhem @maxi1134 @CodyTray Could one of you please run the following command on their Nextcloud server/container:
magick --version
If your version is new enough, the problem should be fixed by simply adjusting the policy of Imagick (to allow bigger allocations for pictures). You might also need to increase the maximum allowed memory size for PHP accordingly.
Regarding libvips: I assume you are using the Imaginay container to generate previews? We might be out of luck since this requires updating the library inside the container as the referenced PRs are rather recent. However, the Imaginary project is pretty much dead at this point so you would need to do it yourself or hope for a fork.
@gu1lhem @maxi1134 @CodyTray Could one of you please run the following command on their Nextcloud server/container:
magick --version
maxi1134@diaspora:~$ sudo docker exec -it nextcloud-app-1 /bin/bash
