HEIC photos unsupported

[echokos]

Lychee supports HEIC as of version 4.0.6 and Cloudron is using a more recent version of that. However, HEIC upload is not working for some reason (default photo extension on iOS). The logs when trying to upload show:

2021-02-12 17:43:17 -- error   -- App\Actions\Photo\Extensions\Checks::file_type -- 102 -- Photo type not supported: XXXXXXXXXXXX.heic

@echokos Can confirm... I tried updating the base image to latest ubuntu to check if fixes the problem but even after installing libheif it doesn't work.

From what I can make out, we have to build imagemagick 7 from source and compile it with HEIC support. Like https://blog.summercat.com/building-imagemagick-with-heic-support.html

I opened https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/lychee-app/-/issues/4

@girish Same in Nextcloud. In Nextcloud ImageMagick is used to render the preview for the images. At the moment this does not work with the Cloudron Nextcloud pp. But your solution should solve this too

@girish any news? Also in Nextcloud and probably all other file and photo apps on Cloudron HEIC is not working because of Cloudron core (apps do support it it seems).

@imc67 It seems ubuntu 22 has built-in support for this. So, when we move to Ubuntu 22 base docker image, we will get support for this.

$ convert -list format | grep HEIC
     AVIF* HEIC      rw+   AV1 Image File Format (1.12.0)
     HEIC* HEIC      rw+   Apple High efficiency Image Format (1.12.0)

This will take a bit to first start testing Ubuntu 22 and then moving to it though. No timeline yet.
