Hey y'all back with another issue.

It seems Bambuddy takes too long to take snapshot. I get this error msg after a while:

[2026-04-16 06:29:55,717] ERROR in server: Failed to get image ImmutableMultiDict([('img', 'http://10.0.4.138:8000/api/v1/printers/1/camera/snapshot?token=MYTOKEN')]) - HTTPConnectionPool(host='BAMBUDDY-IP', port=8000): Read timed out. (read timeout=5)

Upon testing it takes my bambuddy instance roughly 10s to reply to a CURL on the snapshot endpoint.

The timeout seems to be hardcoded in the server.py of obico. I have overwritten the timeout value (just for testing) for my container. the yaml looks like this now:
  obico-ml-api:
    container_name: obico-ml-api
    build:
      context: https://github.com/TheSpaghettiDetective/obico-server.git#release:ml_api
    environment:
      - DEBUG=True
      - FLASK_APP=server.py
    command: bash -c "sed -i 's/timeout = (0.1, 5)/timeout = (5, 30)/' server.py && gunicorn --bind 0.0.0.0:3333 --workers 1 --timeout 120 wsgi"
    ports:
      - "3333:3333"
    restart: unless-stopped
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD-SHELL", "curl -f http://localhost:3333/hc/ || exit 1"]
      start_period: 30s
      interval: 30s
      timeout: 10s
      retries: 3
