Description

segmentation-fault-core-dumped

you may also see it in the server log

WARN latest/runner.go:308 Failed to create preview: signal: segmentation fault (core dumped)

Solution

To fix the problem, you need to install the nscd package

on ubuntu/debian:

sudo apt install nscd

on fedora/centos:

dnf install nscd

Reason

For Linux, we use a static ffmpeg build from johnvansickle.com/ffmpeg. The build's readme.txt includes this note:

Notes: A limitation of statically linking glibc is the loss of DNS resolution. Installing
nscd through your package manager will fix this.
