Tried to document this, but found some inconsistencies within pixelfed on how to properly configure this. Trying to get some answers about this at https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/issues/4678

I've also just asked on Mastodon about whether or not is it should currently be possible to live stream using the Android app https://social.coop/@jdaviescoates/111133795346848012

@girish aftering giving both redis and the app a load more memory the import worked fine. I don't know why I didn't just try that before to be honest. I'm not sure how it managed to half-work before so that the apps was running and the import seemed to have worked, but without the users, but I've just done the back import again and the users have re-appeared, so panic over. Phew.

@Addictions Just to double check, are you using Cloudron to deploy Pixelfed?

@robi I misunderstood, thank you so much for the kick in the pants. Already Captcha works.

@MikeHuntington thanks, added to the docs.

Great thank you.

Luckily i had a running instance on my old notebook, so i could recreate everything and give it it's own bitwarden info

@someone are you trying the command here - https://docs.cloudron.io/apps/pixelfed/#admin ?

Thanks Girish, I'll take a look and report back!

I think I may have subsided it for not at least... I raised the memory up even further and then things stabilized, I then cleared the redis cache from the site and reduced the memory on the associated redis service, and so far it's good again. Early times though, will continue to watch. Also switched out one of the Rank Math SEO plugins with Slim SEO as it was something I've been int he middle of a few client sites anyways, so figured I'd jump and do it here as Slim SEO is quite a bit more lightweight then Rank Math, hoping that'll help a bit too. When it was there, it was using about 800 MB at the time. It's down to about 100 MB now, back to where the other sites are.

turns out it was in fact browser cache - filing that away for future - looks good now! also @girish - while i didn't get a response, i asked him to fold the "live" app into the main app, so, we'll see

Hi, so after the update problem solved.

@alwynispat thanks, updated.

A new app package is already out

@gh0stface so this is what I've setup; ## S3 Storage PF_ENABLE_CLOUD=true FILESYSTEM_DRIVER=local FILESYSTEM_CLOUD=s3 PF_LOCAL_AVATAR_TO_CLOUD=true MEDIA_DELETE_LOCAL_AFTER_CLOUD=true AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=xxx AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=xxx AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=xxx AWS_BUCKET=mediapixelfedsg AWS_URL=https://media.pixelfed.sg AWS_ENDPOINT=https://xxx.backblazeb2.com #AWS_USE_PATH_STYLE_ENDPOINT=false and it works.

@nebulon Oh, I just wanted to understand where the problem was coming from to potentially fix it since Pixelfed considers it an error. But if it's not a real problem, then I'll keep it as it is. Thanks

@jdaviescoates added link, thanks.
