Not able to import Pictures - TypeError: log.err is not a function

[Nemoran]

Hi,

I recently installed HomeGallery as a Test on some old Notebook which was working absolutely fine. (Absolutely love this piece of software, as it is so intuitive and running so smooth!!) Now as I want to use it in production, Installed on some new Hardware, I am not able to import any Pictures after startup:

/app # ./gallery.js 
✔ Gallery main menu · update
✔ Update files · initialSmall

      - "3000:3000"
    user: "${CURRENT_USER}"
    entrypoint: ['node', '/app/gallery.js']
    command: ['run', 'server']

Not quite sure if this is some configuration error or some bug?

Would appreciateany help :) Thank you!

Hi @Nemoran

thank you for the compliment about HomeGallery.

[2024-06-13 08:48:39.844]: index Updating file index for directory /data/Pictures
/app/node_modules/@home-gallery/index/dist/create.js:41
      log.err(`Could not read files in ${dir}: ${err}`);
          ^

TypeError: log.err is not a function

is a overlapping error. The logger call is invalid and should be log.error(...) which I have now fixed.

The reason why this error happens because the directory /data/Pictures is somehow not readable. Your compose file looks OKish with

version: "3.9"
services:
  gallery:
    volumes:
      - D:\Docker\HomeGallery\data:/data
      # Mount your media directories below /data
      - D:\Docker\HomeGallery\data\Pictures:/data/Pictures

However I do not have experience mounting a windows path D:\Docker\HomeGallery\data\Pictures to the docker container path /data/Pictures.

You can try to run

$ docker compose run --entrypoint /bin/sh gallery
~ # ls /data/Pictures/

and you should see your mounted folder inside the container.

Hope that helps

Hi @xemle,

thank you for your fast response! With the correct log output, I was able to resolve the issue.

HP Wolf Security creates some hidden "~Bromium" Folders, which can´t be processed within Docker, as there are now permissions. Uninstalling Wolf Security, helped :)

thx, Nemoran
