gallery homepage doesnt show thumbnails at all
Hi guys, installed and got it working, migrated all pics and let the job of creating thumbnails run for all pics. There were no errors in creating thumbs, only they are not showing at all on the homepage.
i can see some pics when i navigate to explore, places or faces for example, but i would like to show the latest pics on the home screen.
Any hints where to start looking??

Did you migrate from Google Photos? have you done writing back the metadata to the files yet?
it looks like lots of files are put into 2023's single month from the look of the timeline scrollbar
Hi Alex, yes, did the google takeout and did the job of generating thumbnails, did not do the metadata job yet...
started the "Extract metadata" job just now, most probably will take some hours...:-)
I suggest you follow the direction in this discussion #1340
No, I meant rewriting the EXIF from google photos takes out back into the files. It is because Google stripped EXIF info from your images
ooww, ok. will follow the guide from the other thread first, thanks!
Yeah, you might need to nuke this instance and start over
Is there a way to check if the EXIF data is ok for import after running the migration scripts?
Allright, fresh install, ran the scripts on my google Takeout pictures, imported all pics and ran the metadata and thumbnail jobs. Unfortunately the pics don't show up in the main screen.
Any tips on what to do now? I really like the project and i would love to get it working on my machine..! thanks in advance
Error on immich-server:
error on immich-web:
Those aren't necessarily real errors. Was your stack actually completely up and running?
yes, no fatal errors in the logs, i can log in and search faces, only on the main page non of the photos are shown
there is something like a date-based selection, so i guess metadata are read for the pictures...?

Hm, that is really weird...
You could use this to check if any assets have no metadata. However, it doesn't look like it
tried different browsers, no result...
checked on the browser:

Ok, so probably metadata isn't the issue
Do you use any browser plugins? I feel like at least autofiller doesn't come from immich
On mobile, fresh installed browser, same....

Makes me feel it's something server side
Can you share more of the immich_web logs? Like just a bunch of lines copy paste
does that container have seperate logs folder ?? This is from Portainer
Afaik we don't write log files by default. So the docker logs are the ones
server.ts means typesense i guess?
What? You shouldn't see server.ts anywhere...
How have you installed Immich?
Used the standard docker compose files...?
I can send you my docker compose files..?
Yes that might helpful. Just paste it here
No result as in nothing shown up?
Can you go into incognito mode and access the site?
incognito

here u go
And where is the server.ts you were talking about?
You are saying you use Portainer, correct?
yes sir
then your
.env
has to change to stack.env

i mean i use portainer to look at the containers, setting things up with docker-compose
in the logs of immich.web:
ah, so you don't run it in the portainer
You can ignore these logs
nope, docker-compose
can you bring down the stack, then bring them back up with
docker-compose up
sure
i'm not using separate stack, all my containers are on the same stack, but that shouldnt be a problem right?
down and up again
as long as you are in the directory where the docker-compose file of Immich is in, it only affect the services in that file
yes, sure!

All of this looks perfectly fine ^^
mmmm , really weird...
the demo site on the same browser does works...:-(

does this help you?
Can you post your .env please?
When I refresh, the grid is visible but after that it gone....
changed from main to release in my .env file...!

grid is working..!
what makes the grey parts...?? hwy is tha picture not showing overthere...??
Probably some thumbnails couldn't be generated successfully. You can re-run thumbnail generation in admin settings -> jobs
ok, will do that!@
@Alex You're right... There are indeed many people beta testing lmao
thanks for all your support and sorry for being such a noob...:-)
That's alright! Many people accidentally use the wrong version :D
