pm.max_requests should be set #2142
Description
According to the official Nextcloud server tuning guide, PHP-FPM should be configured with pm.max_requests set, to prevent memory leaks.
I am in a situation where workers consume increasing amounts of memory. I suspect this is to my configuration of the preview generation (enabled HEIC, PDF). I assume it is normal behavior, that workers do not actively free their allocated memory. pm.max_requests solves the problem by limiting worker lifespan.
I suggest to make the value configurable with some reasonable default (e.g., 500).

@theCalcaholic, if you think it makes sense, I can create a PR. Waiting for your confirmation though.

Thank you, yes, makes total sense. I'll happily merge a PR or can do it myself. Whatever you prefer :)
However, this would require not just a change to the template (
etc/ncp-templates/php/pool.d.www.conf.sh) itself, but also a script for regenerating it on update (so inupdates/<version>.sh- compare1.58.0.sh).m-breitbach commentedon Sep 6, 2026
