      Its nice that every app has its on min requirements set but it would be helpful to be able to select any additional resources upon creation, mainly memory/RAM

      Not super vital but a good quality of life feature =]

        Yes, this would be awesome! 🙂

        I had a request somewhere in here before too for setting additional redirects rather than only the one main hostname on deployment (and restore from backups too), and hopefully that'll be something they can add. Definitely a nice UX improvement.

          Yeah, I'd like this too, mostly because in my experience apps often need more RAM than the minimum. Personally I'd like to just go for double the stated the minimum as a rule of thumb and it'd be nicer if I could set that during app install.

            App updates also don't take into account larger memory req over time.

              I'm thinking perhaps there should be a (hidden by default) Advanced section that can be expanded when installing an app that would let you

              • Edit RAM
              • Choose to leave email stuff to app
              • etc.

                Still really wanting this.

                The minimum RAM is almost never enough to actually use the app (e.g. right now I'm playing around with Immich and of course it crashed as soon as I tried to upload 100s of images at once because it only has 256MB RAM).

                I'd really like to be able to allocate RAM at install.

                  @jdaviescoates if an app does not work with defaults for such basic use-cases then we should increase the minimum amount in the package. Not sure about immich as in my tests uploading 100s of pictures worked just fine not exhausting the memory, but often such things also depend on disk I/O and cpu performance next to memory.

                    @nebulon well, very often if doing a one-off large import of some type the RAM needs upping to enable to process it (e.g. this is true of WordPress too).

                    With Immich, I upped the RAM, but then my browser tab kept crashing so wasn't able to mass upload 😕

                      Tell the upstream devs to have a reasonable working memory for batch operations and to release periodically so that things including browsers don't crash.

                        For what its worth, the next package update will have an increased memory limit as I agree, it is currently a bit low.
