New images stuck at error loading Image

I am new to Immich. Got it up and running, using pretty much default docker compose as provided in installation instructions. When I upload images they are stuck at Error Loading Image. Even if I select the images and choose Refresh thumbnails, it does nothing. When I go to Administration -> Jobs, I see 'Extract Metadata' jobs as 'waiting'. When I click missing on 'Generate Thumbnails', I see the counter in waiting go up and then back down and the thumbnails finally appear.

So to me it seems like my background jobs are not running automatically as they are supposed to and they have to be triggered. Any thoughts?
