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
