Same problem for me 😂😭

The only way i was able to get it running was using imagemagick from brew repo.

BUT it fails when the image was more than 3MB… maybe i setup a very restrictive policy config.

Give it a try!!!

I’m testing the docker install but I think or pretty stupid deploy nginx, unicorn, redis, postgresql and the rest in ONLY one container… it doesn’t make sense at all. And there’s no infrastructure documentation for big deployments… I’ve work on IT for more than 20 years and I only see problem coming in the near future using such infra.

Without talking about “docker The Space Eater” ( like Dormammu) 🤣🤣
