Sync

Depending on your server, you may want to tune the parallel requests and the batch size for syncing the database and creating thumbnails.

  • Sync Database

    • Batch Size

      If you use the sync database process in a browser, Event Gallery will sync all files to check for metadata. This happens by sending a sync request for the file to the server. This option lets you configure how many files a single request can sync at once. If you encounter errors during the file sync, you should try to decrease that number since your server might be too slow. Default is 25.

    • Parallel Requests

      You can speed up the processing by executing multiple requests in parallel. Your browser usually supports at most 4 parallel requests. Don’t use more, this will only block your browser. For slower servers, reduce this number to 1.

  • Thumbnail Generator

    • Batch Size

      Per default, 5 images are processed with a single request. If you have a fast server, you can increase this value to minimize the time waste for creating a new request. On slower servers, decrease the value to reduce the server load.

    • Parallel Requests

      You can speed up the processing by executing multiple requests in parallel. Your browser usually supports at most 4 parallel requests. Don’t use more, this will only block your browser. For slower servers, reduce this number to 1.

S3 Storage

The S3 storage is no longer configured here. Since Event Gallery 6.5.0 you create one or more S3 accounts under Event Gallery → Accounts - S3 Storage and choose the account when you create an event. See the section called “S3 accounts”. The options of an older version are turned into an account named Amazon S3 during the update.
