Footprint mass create, PHP out of memory

[Erv00]

Describe the bug
I have tried to mass create footprints (~15k lines), and it returned (understandably) 503 error.
After that I tried to batch the creation into smaller parts, but I cannot open the footprint page, as it returns 500.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to 'Tools>Edit>Footprints>Mass create'
2. Paste roughly 15k lines
3. Click create
4. See 503
5. Go back to home page (which loads correctly)
6. Go to 'Tools>Edit>Footprints>Mass create'
7. See 500

Expected behavior
While not being able to handle ~15k lines at once is expected, not being able to visit the page again is not expected.

Server Side

• Part-DB Version: Part-DB 2.2.1
• PHP Version: 8.4.13 (SAPI: fpm-fcgi)
• Database Server SQLite 3.40.1

Desktop:

• OS: Fedora 41
• Browser Firefox
• Version 143.0.4

Additional context
I am running it in k8s using helm.
When I try to access the footprint page this is the log: [Sat Nov 08 09:42:50.632212 2025] [proxy_fcgi:error] [pid 24:tid 55] [client 10.42.0.91:58914] AH01071: Got error 'PHP message: PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 10952704 bytes) in /var/www/html/vendor/twig/twig/src/Template.php on line 359'
To generate the ~15k lines, one can use this paste. It uses the kicad footprint library.

Tried steps
I tried to delete the cache (both with the command and rm -rf /var/cache) and restarting the server, and even clearing site data in Firefox.

I would just assume that there are just too many footprints for Part-DB to handle. At a certain point Part-DB will just run out of memory when trying to render the page showing all footprints.
Your PHP memory limits seems quite low (134MB), if you increase it, it will be able to handle more footprints (but that does not change the fact that there will always be a limit somewhere...)

You can make it work again, by deleting some rows of footprints in the database footprint table.

In general you should not require thousands of footprints.
