I'm trying an #Armv7 install of #gotosocial and it seems to kind of work... Except that if I try to upload a photo, then the entire thing crashes. It also crashed once when I tried to update the Instance info screen (adding a description).
It's running on a small device, so I'm guessing that it's just spiking the CPU/RAM and that's causing the crash, but what's weird is that I don't see anything in the logs to suggest a problem, no OOM from the kernal, etc. It's just running one moment and then not running the next.
I've already reduced the cache target significantly and limited the media upload sizes... Is there a way to just disable media entirely? I'm fine with it being a text-only instance. Anyone have any other suggestions for running GTS on a stupidly small server?
