Error when creating smart albums.

Hi all, I've pulled the latest images from Docker, and have the latest Android app version, but see this error when I try to create smart albums. Any pointers?

Smart Albums not working (89%)

O'Neill•3mo ago

Had the same issue before. I noticed also a PostgreSQL update. Do you use an external PostgreSQL Server?

hifxOP•3mo ago

No, I use the postgres config as part of the quickstart script..I see it's pinned to v15 though. Is a different version warranted?

Manav•3mo ago

15 should be fine. While I don't know what is exactly happening in your setup, I can give some background which might help you find the issue: So smart albums is a new feature that required some change both in museum code and also some DB migration. From the error it seems that the museum you're running is still the older one, the one that doesn't have support for smart albums OR somehow the DB migration has not run. The second case really should never happen, so it is either the first, or something unrelated going on.

The image name includes the commit it was made from (https://github.com/ente-io/ente/tree/ghcr/server) You can check your museum version (commit) by using https://api.example.org/ping (e.g. https://api.ente.io/ping)

Hey, thanks for the help. Everything seems to be working fine again. Here's what I did: 1. Stop the stack 2. Run docker compose pull again (though, nothing seemed to actually happen here, as this was already run 3. Start the stack again Smart albums now functioning. Not sure what the core of the issue was, but probably related to what you pointed out @Manav . Thank you both for your help.
