Option to set scan directory missing in admin area

[92Magnum]

Followed the recommended Docker-compose method. I have modified only the path to volumes under the backend inside the docker-compose.yml file (as shown)

  backend:
    image: reallibrephotos/librephotos:dev
    # For development uncomment the "build" line below and comment the "image" line above
    # build: .
    container_name: librephotos-backend
    restart: always
    volumes:
      - $HOME/Pictures/librephotos/librephotos_images:/data # CHANGE ME
      - $HOME/Pictures/librephotos/librephotos_media:/code/protected_media # CHANGE ME
      - $HOME/Pictures/librephotos/librephotos_logs:/code/logs # CHANGE ME
      - $HOME/Pictures/librephotos/librephotos_cache:/root/.cache # CHANGE ME

Logged in as admin but the link to set the scan directory is missing.

Not sure if this helps but found this issue in the backend logs on running docker logs librephotos-backend

I have found the issue. Please add at a timezone to TIME_ZONE or use the default America/Chicago. Does this fix your issue?

[92Magnum]

Thanks for the quick response. Setting the TIME_ZONE fixed the issue. I am now able to see the link to the change the directory. I see that there is another issue. Once i select the scan directory and hit scan photos, it shows "11 items processed" (I had 11 images) but there are no photos under the "Photos" or "Albums" section. Also, I noticed that the scan happened too quickly (as compared to hooram/ownphotos which I tried earlier, took 10 seconds approx.)

This is what I see in the backend logs after hitting "scan photos"

Are the items photos that are .jpg, .png, .gif or .bmp? If that isn't the case could you maybe send me the ownphotos.log file? It is in the mapped logs folder.

[92Magnum]

I think the issue was with how I provided the path to the volume. Earlier when I ran docker-compose with $HOME/... in volume paths, which did not create any files(logs etc) inside the local volumes. I changed the path to absolute (/home/username/) and ran docker-compose. Everything seems to be working fine now. Docker container was pointing to root (with $HOME) whereas my images were in the default user directory.

Ah okay! I will close the issue then.
