The virtual disk for my lemmy instance filled up which caused lemmy to throw a lot of errors. I resized the disk and expanded the filesystem but now the pictrs container is constantly restarting.

Might this be related?
In some cases, pict-rs might crash and be unable to start again. The most common reason for this is the filesystem reached 100% and pict-rs could not write to the disk, but this could also happen if pict-rs is killed at an unfortunate time. If this occurs, the solution is to first get more disk for your server, and then look in the sled-repo directory for pict-rs. It’s likely that pict-rs created a zero-sized file called snap.somehash.generating. Delete that file and restart pict-rs.

Pictrs saves Thumbnails profile Images of users not just from your instance but also from other instances. Lemmy devs should look into optimising this like they did with the database.
That’s all pictrs is for? Can it just be disabled without breaking anything else?
Pictrs is for all image storage. But posted images stay on the source instance. Thumbnails and banners are federated.

Have you checked the logs for the pictures container to see why it’s restarting?
Could it be permissions?

What do the logs say?
Can’t see pictrs log because it never full starts.
root@Lemmy:/srv/lemmy/leemyalone.org# docker-compose logs leemyaloneorg_pictures_1 ERROR: No such service: leemyaloneorg_pictures_1 root@Lemmy:/srv/lemmy/leemyalone.org#If the pictrs container doesn’t start check the docker logs.
journalctl -fexu dockerIt’ll typically tell you why a container isn’t starting, usually a broken bind mount.
To prevent this from happening again, try migrating to an S3 backend; DigitalOcean have one that’s fixed-price and includes egress, so you can’t accidentally end up with a ridiculous bill one month!
You can still see the logs using
docker logs container_name>. To get the container name you can usedocker ps -a. It should list the pictrs container there. The container name is usually the last column of the output.` ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ BACKTRACE ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Seems like your pictrs database is corrupted.
Is there a way to reset the pictrs DB without affecting the posts, commenst and users DB?
You can try mounting a new folder as pictrs volume. I assume your other data will be safe since it is in the database.
pictrs database is completely separate from lemmy database. If you want you just delete everything in the pictrs volume and start afresh. You will lose all images though.
There’s only two local posts on my instance so i’m not worried about losing thoseabout.
Will the pictrs from subscribed communities in other instances be restored after a db reset?
OK. I just deleted the pictrs folder from srv/lemmy/leemyalone.org/volumes but I am still having the same issue.
