XF 2.3 Converting a ton of images to WEBP

[duderuud]

I have just converted our forum to XF 2.3.3. Banners and avatars have already converted to WEBP but I also want to convert the images/attachments.

Problem is, our forum contains about 2 million attachments and are hosted on Cloudflare R2.
So converting would probably take days or even weeks.

Is it going to be a problem one the server needs a reboot or (let's say) ImageMagick needs an update? Can I just restart the conversion proces (xf-rebuild:attachment-optimization) and it will continue where it left off?

Im unsure of attachments specifically but I know avatars and likely profile banners get internally marked as "optimized" once theyve been converted.
Theoretically the conversion process will not pick images which have already been "optimized", so yes I think it will pick up where it left off.

I'm curious how efficient the process is. I can image it will literally take weeks if the process needs to be restarted for whatever reason...

if it takes week then you got big problems or good problems.

I’ve converted upto 140,000 images using the CLI tool, and it does restart, as there is a field in the attachment table which states if an image has been optimized, and it restarted where it left off.
