Originally created by @JaCoB1123 on GitHub (Oct 8, 2023).
The bug
I just ran out of storage on my server, because immich used everything as it became free. I found the culprit to be the microservices container storing loads of
magick-....files in/tmp.I found imagemagick - lot of temp magick files created in temporary folder - Stack Overflow, which might be somewhat relevant. I was low on diskspace anyways, so that might have something to do with it as well. I currently can see immich using 16GB already again though:
Current output of the /tmp folder
The OS that Immich Server is running on
Ubuntu 20.04
Version of Immich Server
unsure - just upgraded to 1.81.1
Version of Immich Mobile App
not relevant
Platform with the issue
Your docker-compose.yml content
Your .env content
Reproduction steps
Additional information
No response
@mertalev commented on GitHub (Oct 8, 2023):
Good catch. It sounds like libvips (the library calling Imagemagick) might not be cleaning up after it. It's worth checking if there's an issue there and making an issue if not.
@JaCoB1123 commented on GitHub (Oct 9, 2023):
I just had to recreate the container again as it was using 43GB. I'll keep observing it.
If you need more information I'm happy to provide anything I can.
@JaCoB1123 commented on GitHub (Dec 31, 2023):
I just had to cleanup the folder again. Here are the attached logs of the microservices container:
_immich-immich-microservices-1_logs.txt
@JaCoB1123 commented on GitHub (Feb 28, 2024):
I just had the issue again on version 1.95.1. Can this be reopened?
@mertalev commented on GitHub (Feb 28, 2024):
How much RAM does the server have, by chance?
@JaCoB1123 commented on GitHub (Feb 28, 2024):
The server has 16 GB and currently 7640 MB available.
@mertalev commented on GitHub (Feb 28, 2024):
I looked into this a bit more.
I think Imagemagick has an internal limit for how much RAM it's willing to use. Once it goes above this, it starts serializing files to disk. It normally cleans these up after finishing, but based on your logs it could be that an error in an image means the file gets left behind.
I can make an upstream issue for this and make it work in-memory only in the meantime.
@mertalev commented on GitHub (Feb 28, 2024):
Oh, and you can probably avoid this for now by lowering your thumbnail generation concurrency. It will lower the RAM usage and help keep it below the limit.
@mertalev commented on GitHub (Feb 29, 2024):
Okay, so it might be a bit harder to fix this on our end based on the discussion here. Lowering your concurrency is probably the best option for now.
@JaCoB1123 commented on GitHub (Mar 1, 2024):
Thanks for looking into it and creating the upstream discussion. When I understand that correctly, there's no way around the temp files for RAW images though?
I just set the thumbnail concurrency to 1 (down from 5) and will update here if it happens again.
@JaCoB1123 commented on GitHub (Mar 1, 2024):
I just manually started the generate thumbnails where "missing" task.
It was looking good until the following log snippet. docker-compose also tells me that the container has restarted. So it seems like there's some fatal error that's not logged and I now have a single file in /tmp that's not touched any more. After restarting manually again, I have 3 more files in there.
Maybe a simple way would be to clear /tmp on startup? Or I could mount it to tmpfs instead? I'm not sure if that's cleared on container restart though.
Is there a way I can provide more logs? Changing log level to verbose via the WebUI didn't change anything.
@JaCoB1123 commented on GitHub (Mar 1, 2024):
I just added the following tmpfs volume and will report back if anything happens:
@JaCoB1123 commented on GitHub (Mar 18, 2024):
I did not have any issues since adding the tmpfs volume. Would it make sense to add that to the default docker-compose?
@JaCoB1123 commented on GitHub (Jun 23, 2024):
I recently migrated to the docker-compose without distinct microservices container and had the problem again today. Adding the tmpfs mount to the server fixed the problem for me again.
@akostadinov commented on GitHub (Sep 5, 2024):
Adding a tmpfs means that it is wiped on container restart. Can't the temp folder be cleaned on start or even regularly instead?
@Ca-rs-on commented on GitHub (Jul 9, 2025):
Had the same problem, added the following into my cron schedule to run every hour,
/usr/bin/docker exec immich_server find /tmp -type f -name magick-* -size +1M -mmin +120 -delete
@moinmoin commented on GitHub (Aug 19, 2025):
I noticed in my case, that orthoimages in an external library (which can be huge: 1 GB+) can tear down the instance when generating thumbnails.
I can't size the instance for "peak" sizes. I think that a size based filter in the thumbnail settings would be great.
Also: if the size filter excludes the thumbnail, show a default image instead.
@MrakoMaks commented on GitHub (Sep 2, 2025):
Immich v1.135.3 is a similar problem. I decided to add the task to cron, but it will be great if it is solved at the container level)
