Memories stopped working after changing path of external libraries
I dont know why but i had the stupid idea to change the mount paths inside of docker. So i Lost my external libraries. After correcting the paths and rescan everything i recognized that memories stopped working. Tried to trigger it again but except for the Post in logs nothing showed in verbose logs. Any clue?

Hi Alex what an honor ☺️ i checked it manual and got one. Also now i had a Chance to upload the logs now. E.g. I created the memories Job 2025-08-25T20:08:12.088423469Z but i See no qctive running
I wonder if it could be timezone cut off 🤔
Hm it startet when i stupidly switch my mounts from /media/USB-HDD to /media/SSD. No issue with User upload content but within external libraries, which i use for my Phone pictures. I changed the paths on the libraries but had all old paths on recycle bin, and deleted it.
How would a memories Job output in verbose Look like? Unfortunatley i dont see an entry, except "memory-create"
yeah we don't have verbose logs in theme
probably good to add some logs
are you comforrtable checking the database for the memory table?
Sure, give me a sec ☺️
Got 238 rows, but in General 15 years and 33k of assets
the relevant column is showAt
can you check if there is one that is today
Ah intersting, 9 rows.
Buuuut the createdAt is the Date before the change of paths, so old assets i guess
can you try enter this into your browser
http://your-ip:port/api/memories?for=2025-08-25T15%3A43%3A26.777ZGot a json with 7 entries
Double checked my usersettings, its enabeld for the Main User
Ah wait i checked for yesterday also with your URL, Where i had 1.entry instead of 6 or so, and for today the rows dont Show assets. Empty array
and tomorrow?
Also empty 🙃
But 27. And 28. Got some 🤔🤔🤔
29. And 30. Are empty So i guess its Not created yet
I also guess its running for the next 4 days. I will Look next 3 days if i got assets then for 29.-31. Also the old entries requested will be overwriten next year?
no, it will keep creating
Sorry dont get it😅 so the nightly job create memories for how many days before? And how many will be kept in the past?
it create 3 or 4 day in advanced I believe
and I don't remember on top of my head if they are cleaned up automatically
Ah perfect. Got back to 7/30 so guess 28 days. 🤔 Thank you very much, learned a lot today, and it was an honor. Will Look into this the next days ❤️
