I'm getting this same issue. Not sure what's going on. 

I've sort of fixed it.... After googling the problem I decided to try ngnix proxy manager instead of swag. It is very easy to configure and it simply works, maybe give that a try

Perfect. Then the Docker must be updated, now.

I had this working but with the docker update, had to blow away both my MariaDB and Photoview dockers and appdata and start again. Anyone else have this?

Hoping this was a one off as I am now afraid to invest time using the tool if I have to rescan each update?

Getting lots og "face detection" errors in the WEBUI - is there a way to turn that off or clear them all easily?

Thanks!

I've done the update. Did a rescan. Now i have the People Button. But no faces there.

Any suggestions?

Okay, answer to myself.

A simple rescan takes no effect to face recognition.

You have to go to settings and delete the photopath, save and then choose the path again and make an initial scan.

Now the faces will appear.

How can we disable the facial recognition feature? It's causing a lot of issues with what otherwise seems to be a solid image viewer.

Looks like someone requested this feature already - an option to toggle it on/off

Can someone please give some guidance on how to recreate the user for the login ? I have deleted my user by mistake and now I can't logjn anymore to Photoview

How to connect with postgres instead of mysql. Looks like it supports postgres

Anyone know how to fix this database issue? Photoview worked when I set it up, but now won't start because of this.

Greetings friends! After trying several other photo apps Photoview looks like it is the one I am sticking with. My main goal was to try and find an app to replace synology moments and retained my folder structure and included face recognition. IMO Google Picasa was the best one that did that but is now dead. The face recognition with photoview is not bad but is there a way to combine recognized face groups. In other words is ID'ed several groups of my same child and I would like all of those combined into one named group. I see that face recognition is fairly new to the app so was hoping that it would evolve.

This is likely a question suited for their github page or more direct contact w/ the developers, this thread should be used for unraid-specific releated issues/support.

Will do. Thanks!

After the update this morning I am unable to get to the login page. My log has this entry.

Somehow i cannot get this to work. The initial setup worked fine and to my point of view it should be correct. At least i am able to login without any errors in the logs. At the user settings i cannot define any path (only "/" is possible). There's always a error message popping up. According to the official Docker instruction i only have to put "/Photos" as a Photo path as it is defined for "Photo Shares" but this does not work -> error message. Here are two screenshots of my settings and then the error message:

My docker data is stored on a separate drive if this is a necessary information.

I am having this issue as well. My photos share path is defined as: /mnt/user/photos backup/

 

I can get to the webui but every variation of the data path I try gets the error:

 

Something went wrong

Server error: invalid root path at (userAddRootPath)

 

I've set up the mariadb and reverse proxy and all appear to be working as expected except the inability to import my photos.

Appreciate your help in advance!

Hi guys,

Hope you can help me, however it is not a Photoview issue per se. I'm new to Unraids docker management system, prefers docker-compose... To get Photoview running, I need a MariaDB (or Mysql). So I need to create a MariaDB container besides Photoview. But what if another container also requires a MariaDB, should I then have two MariaDBs containers, one for Photoview and one for "another container"?

You can, or you can just create multiple databases inside of one MariaDB container. Choice is yours ;)

If I'm using SQLite, what would I enter into: PHOTOVIEW_MYSQL_URL

 

I removed PHOTOVIEW_MYSQL_URL and added PHOTOVIEW_SQLITE_PATH, but that doesn't work.

So I would actually strongly recommend against using SQLite.

SQLite in photo apps like this scales HORRIBLY and is bound to cause you all sorts of slowness, issues, and headaches.

 

You would probably need to specify sqlite as a db driver tho.

see here: PHOTOVIEW_DATABASE_DRIVER=mysql is the default. 

 

I would really just suggest spinning up MariaDB though, it's not difficult to do.

Thanks. I was having difficulty setting up mariadb. Turns out it's not enough to delete a docker and its container. You also need to delete its folder in appdata. All is good now.

Can someone write up the MariaDB process for creating the user and DB? I've tried and I think I have it set up correctly, but I'm getting an access denied. Can't tell if I need to open something up on MariaDB or if I created or assigned the user incorrectly. This is all docker on Unraid and it's all new install.
