The "Scan Photos" task in my LibrePhotos installation does not complete and appears to hang indefinitely. about librephotos HOT 4 CLOSED

When a job becomes stuck, it typically indicates that it has encountered an error and we failed to capture it accurately for display. To initiate another job, simply remove the stuck entry from the list.

I still think that you hit some kind of error. Navigate to "./librephotos/data" directory where you'll find a "logs" folder containing several log files. Please check if any of these logs contain error messages that might shed light on the issue.

It's great to hear that you're using a mini PC with an N100! I was also considering them as a potential home server option last week 😄

Thank you for your response.
I'll take a look and follow your guidance.

I operate two mini servers as Docker hubs.
One is equipped with 32GB of RAM and the other with 16GB.
Both are perfect for my needs.

The second server functions as a PhotoLibre server, and the first one, with 32GB of RAM, serves Nextcloud, Paperless-ngx, Jellyfin, and a few other applications. Everything runs smoothly.

The logs look good; I couldn't find any errors. Additionally, your suggestion helped. Removing the entry worked, and a subsequent scan successfully detected images. Amazing! Thank you!
