linkding updates
Aug. 16th, 2024 09:47 amI think that this week my five(ish) things post is just one thing. a lot of things about my linkding instance. let's go through my progression of thoughts and experiences with it over the last week.
one
it occurs to me that linkding might simply not be good at handling the sheer number of bookmarks I have. When I installed an updated instance and had to reupload all my bookmarks, it was loading ok for ages....but then I went through and did a whole bunch of edits to old bookmarks and now it gets errors regularly again, and requires me to reboot the server pretty much every time I want to go to my linkding. I think the poor thing might just get hung up on processing SO many bookmark edits!
two
sooooo this is what the vCPU usage graph looks like on the virtual server where my linkding instance is hosted.....perchance I need to add more vCPU? to handle processing the amount of bookmarks I have? is that a thing one does?
[visualise a graph where the line spends almost all its time at 100% vCPU usage]
three
upgraded my virtual server to have more vcpu....watching the graph creep slowly upward post-restart, biting my fingers over what percentage it'll level off at. pls let this work!!
four
GODDAMNIT
five
okay honestly maybe I'll just. delete bookmarks for old fandoms of the sort where I cannot imagine myself ever actually wanting to go back and reread in the fandom (eg: hawaii 5-0, sports night, supernatural rpf....) and see if I can get my bookmark numbers down by a few thousand
I will still have those bookmarks extant in old backups so the info won't be lost to time at least
14,000 bookmarks IS a lot of bookmarks! I can understand if linkding isn't optimized to be able to handle that volume within a reasonable amount of cpu!
six
AHA I HAVE DONE IT!!!! I'm down to a little over 10,000 bookmarks and that seems to keep my vCPU usage below 100%, on my new upgraded plan!
of course, I think I need to keep deleting more bookmarks, because I DO keep adding more bookmarks over time, lol
but that means my linkding is once again open for business, people can browse my bookmarks whenever they want, and I will no longer need to do a hard restart of my server every time I want to access a bookmark myself!
seven
ok now that I've got linkding running properly again, I really really do want to get the rest of my site set up for hosting other content! sit down with the FTP system I failed to get set up last time and really put some energy into troubleshooting the issues. I could do SO MUCH with it!
