Slow /photo/preview performance


!Friendica Admins

Hi all,

Because of the ongoing performance issues, I moved my whole Friendica database of opensocial.at and friendica.me to a dedicated root-server just for mariadb with 128GB RAM.

At first, it seemed like it helped and opensocial.at is faster than before (the performance of friendica.me is still a mess, but I will analyze it later), but the /photo/preview route is now going crazy:

It seems like the RAM I/O issue I had (which is now gone) is now replaced by an Network throughput issue - but at least the network I/O seems fine:

Do you have any idea what I can do now?

One thing would be to add a "StorageClass" for the Photo to load them (directly) from a filedirectory/block storage instead of the database.

@Philipp Holzer Have you checked your /tmp folder? Here on my server it ran full with magick-XXXXX files.

Thanks for the hint
But there are just two zero-byte magick files at /tmp :)

Geplante Downtime / Server Migration


!Opensocial.at
-- English below

Liebe opensocial.at BenutzerInnen,

Ich starte nun eine Migration von opensocial.at auf eine stรคrkere server-hardware. Dadurch entstehen temporรคre Downtimes in den kommenden Stunden.

Ich mรถchte mich fรผr die Unannehmlichkeiten entschuldigen, aber ich denke, dass dadurch die gesamte Performance von opensocial.at wieder besser werden sollte :).

Lg,
Philipp

Dear opensocial.at user,

I'm planning to migrate my server infrastructure onto a more powerful environment.
The goal is to increase the performance, as, I think, you all currently experience a downgrading performance.

I hope it will help :)

It will take some hours, where opensocial.at will be temporary unavailable from time to time.

Regards,
Philipp

Leider hat die Migration nicht geklappt und ich musste wieder zurรผckrollen.
--> Ich probiere es im August noch einmal

---

Unfortunately, the migration didn't work so I had to rollback.
--> I will retry again in august

Slow photo requests / inbox requests


Hi !Friendica Admins ,

I'm currently tracing down performance issues, I' currently suffering from on my nodes opensocial.at and friendica.me .

It seems like the main performance problems are

  • delivering photos
  • [code]/inbox/code] requests


You can see some peeks and some long runners here:

The long runners (10sec) are the /inbox requests, the peaks are delivering photos after opening conversations, network pane, ...

Do you have any hints how I could improve these two types of requests?

The database is currently using ~50GB RAM, I set them as high as possible.

currently, "movetoavatarcache" is running on my node :-) 17000 from 59000 finished ;)

Hi, after moving all contact images to avatar/, there are still a lot of long running requests, see the image above. Do you have any idea? The overall CPU/RAM is on a normal state.
