Photos won't show up in gallery

[Tiritibambix]

Hello.

I've been experiencing random errors since last upgrade.

When I upload photos to an album, some of them just won't show up. I have to double check, list the ones missing and re-upload them.

I checked the logs but I found literally nothing about this.

Here's my docker-compose:

version: '3'

My NginxProxyManager settings for this domain:

How can I fix that please ?
Thanks for your help.

Am I the only one facing this issue ?

[ildyria]

No, I think that bug is related to LycheeOrg/Lychee#2207 and LycheeOrg/Lychee#2129

The fix is LycheeOrg/Lychee#2140
However the team is so slow that we don't have anybody to review complex pull requests. :|

You can either, edit .env and set ENABLE_LIVEWIRE=false or try to use

  lychee:
    image: lycheeorg/lychee:alpha

[Tiritibambix]

Thank you for your answer. Don't know what I'm doing wrong but it doesn't fix it for me.

That's a shame you guys are short in working hands. If I knew codding, I would gladly help. But I just barely know how to deploy a container in docker.

Shouldn't you post on Reddit / Lemmy to recruit to your team ? Lychee is just such a fine app that deserves the best...

[WIIASD]

Same issue. Changing .env and pulling alpha container didn't fix the issue..

With my demo photo album upload yesterday, I did not encounter this issue.

Today when I put Lychee into production with a larger set of album uploads (originally bulk downloaded from flickr), I started getting this issue. It's strange: delete the problem photo and re-upload doesn't work.

Which version did this issue appear?

Maybe I could pull an older version (docker image) which doesn't have this issue until the fix is deployed.

Thanks.

@Pablo808
It is very unclear to me what the issue could be in your case.
Did you check the logs?

I am using the latest version without any problems.

delete the problem photo and re-upload doesn't work

That should not be the case.

Well you will need to downgrade your DB to the correct version (which is by no mean easy).
And you assume there is something to fix... But honestly, I do not know what.
It is like saying the Piano is broken... Please fix, but what is broken ? Is the key missing? Is the hammer missing? Is a string missing? Is a pedal missing? Is the tampon missing?

@ildyria I decided to put in the extra effort and build from source. I can confirm these errors do not appear anymore.

I'm going to start import my 10k flickr photos. I am glad I can create a self hosted flickr mirror site using Lychee and finally leave flickr for good. :-)

Thank you for maintaining this application.

I created a build Lychee stack shell script which may help people who wants to try this alternative. It can be found here

You have one left over url here:

i set up 2 container
image: lycheeorg/lychee:v4.9.0 - work fine when add test images
image: lycheeorg/lychee:latest - images import is there but show up as empty space

can not downgrade with external mariaDB

image will show if add APP_URL: http:// your url

[Tiritibambix]

I still don't know what to do to fix this. I need to upload a lot of pictures to a lot of different albums. Spotting missing ones to reupload them is a real pia.

I also miss a lot the "import from server" function and don't know how to use

A more efficient command line alternative is available:
php artisan lychee:sync

😭

Edit: I did a fresh install of 4.9.0 and everything is better for me

[jlgarnier]

Hi all,

Fresh install here (Lychee 6.10.2) and same issue: I managed to get access to the app, although it was stuck at the login page (maybe a routing error), and upload a bunch of files ibn the "Unsorted" album.

Unfortunately, nothing really displays (see below):

• The album's thumbnail
• The pictures' thumbnails
• The picture itself if I click on any of them

It looks like the rendering engine is not started...

If anyone encountered this issue, I'm keen to apply any patch!

Thanks in advance for any help!

[ildyria]

Hi,
can you open your developer tools and go to the networking tab?
You will probably see in the network connection that the request for actual images are failing.
Likely due to the miss configuration.
Could you please check the diagnostics what errors do you see there?

Are you running behind a reverse proxy? Are you forwarding the proto https?

[jlgarnier]

Hi @ildyria,

I suspect a misconfiguration too... How can I collect the diagnostic information you referring to?

As for the global config: I've configured the DNS area from my internet hosting service to route the Lychee URL down to my home internet router: Internet lychee.mydomain.com -> DNS -> home router -> open port to Nginx Proxy Manager -> lab server IP:lychee-port. This ensures I can access the service from any device using https connection.

Thanks again for you help!

You have a Diagnostic tab in the left menu. Or you can go directly to example.com/diagnostics which will only give you access to the errors.

As you are using https, Can you check if you have
APP_FORCE_HTTPS=true ? Also verify that your Nginx proxy manager is forwarding the proper headers (X-Forwarded-Proto and X-Forwarded-For) So that Lychee knows that it is running behind an https reverse proxy.
