Uploading images/videos not working? (reddthat.com)

Whenever I try to make a post and attach an image or video to it, I see this in an error popup:

{"data":{"error":"unknown","message":"Request error: error sending request for url (http://pictrs:8080/image): error trying to connect: tcp connect error: Connection refused (os error 111)"},"state":"success"}

According to the instance rules there's a 20MB size limit on uploads but mine are definitely below that.

Oh no!
I have been fighting with pictrs recently. It was asking for a raise, but I told it to get back to work and then it went on strike! (It was constantly crashing).

We've been a little starved for memory on our server recently due to our growth and I've been thinking with the settings.

It was up now for a good 5 hours and then crashed again.

So if you get the error again wait a couple mins and then try again.

Sorry for the issues

Cheers

Tiff
