I've set up object storage properly on my instance. However, I noticed that pictrs is still ballooning in size and I beleive it's due to the thumbnail cache. This cache does not appear to be getting stored in the object storage. Any idea how I can have anything saved in pictrs be stored in my object storage provider rather than local? Thanks

Are you absolutely sure that object storage is used? (eg. having proper config file or env vars).

I am running pictrs 5.1 in container with postgres and backblaze b2 (so, there are no volumes that can actually ballon out).

Might it be possible that you are talking about the sled/state files (the part that can be replaced with postgres)?

I am using the from scratch install and on 0.18.5 and using pictrs 0.4.0 beta (or whichever build comes with the embed version)

Initially, when I set my object storage creds in the docker-compose.yml file, it seemed to work and I see in my bucket it populated some files.

But now I don't think it is writing anything to the bucket. Any ideas? Thanks!
