Ghost: Ghost crashes when uploading a post image

Thought it was just the docker based container install but then went ahead with the install in ubuntu also and got the same thing, the process crashes. in dev tools i get an err_conn_refused and then it starts returning 503s after the service crashes. this isnt even going through nginx either, straight to the local ip of my box.

must be my cpu on my server. setting the config option to disable image optimization worked, which i found here https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/issues/13986 it does still look related to sharp but removing the node module like @zengrotrust suggested will just break it adding this to the config makes it work for me “imageOptimization”: { “resize”: false }

@nolo14. @themaster567 you can make sure you have libvips-dev installed and you can run npm i -g sharp without errors.

I think there might be something else missing as well but you should be able to solve it by following the logged errors when installing sharp fails with something else than libvips.

I’m using the official docker image, so unfortunately I don’t think this is related. In addition, the error logs contain zero useful information: https://pastebin.com/VkVLpVFW

EDIT: I’ve now made an issue in the proper location https://github.com/docker-library/ghost/issues/267#issue-988627499

Anyone have a solution? I update to 4.11 still same issue. Image upload crash site 😦

After ran root@43844e37bd46:/var/lib/ghost/versions/5.33.8/node_modules# rm -R sharp in the container console, I can finally upload images without crashing the web server.

“sharp is a high-performance image processing module for Node.js. This module assists with UGC management by offering an easy solution for reading, enhancing, and saving image files. sharp compresses images faster than most other Node.js modules, like ImageMagick, Jimp, or Squoosh, and produces high-quality results.”

I believe this was an issue with the sharp dependency which has since been resolved here:

They why. Use Debian or node12-alpine

@lfuelling yeah there was another issue that came up in the context of the one I linked earlier regarding non-amd64 systems, but the initial issue was related to people experiencing restarts on Alpine Linux amd64.

The issue that I found was that sharp seemed to think it installed correctly, but something under the hood wasn’t linking correctly, resulting in segmentation faults occurring whenever Ghost attempted to handle image resizing with sharp.
