Dear Developers, Artists, Community,

Thank you heartfelt for the marvel, art…

There’s the following possible case regarding image hosting.

The following URL was set to a post once posted:

  • https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/410efc36-1797-4d02-b771-ec608c21a64e.png?format=webp

The related post:

Once the post was loaded shortly after its publishing, in a local client, the client returned a “no image” placeholder.
When checked the raw response, the endpoint sent the following:

{
  "error":"unknown",
  "message":"Request error: error sending request for url (http://pictrs:8080/image/process.webp?src=410efc36-1797-4d02-b771-ec608c21a64e.png&thumbnail=256): operation timed out"
}

It seems like a container/virtual machine, with the custom hostname of pictrs is not available at certain times, as if restarting shortly right the moment the post is created, possibly proxied within containers/local network where custom DNS resolved of Docker/Podman/etc. or similar systems exist. In result, “times out” on DNS or another transfer protocol context.

With some time passed, a few minutes, with the post reloaded for another request, the image was successfully received!

Please stay safe, and I wish you success, stability, and peace…

Best and kind regards
