library update tasks
Hi everyone,
I have a concern about the library update tasks.
When I add new photos into my watched folder, it seems like the jobs don’t start automatically (or only very randomly).
So I’m wondering:
Is it normal that the detection of new files is slow or inconsistent?
Is there a specific setting I should check to force immediate indexing?
Or do I always need to manually trigger a "Rescan" / "Scan All Assets" for the new photos to be picked up?
Thanks a lot in advance 🙏
This would really help me understand if it’s a bug or just a misconfiguration on my side.

Hi, storage library or system immich ?
photo library on NAS synology DS920+
Docker immich on other server, other ip on local
File watching usually doesn't work well on network mounts
argh its NFS Mount on docker compose
So. Mount NFS with immich its not good ?
not for minute-to-minute file watching
But for scan, normally we are good?
watch what's happening

NFS for immich works fine in general, I have no idea about your system
My system? where installation immich server ?
Processor
Brand Intel
Model Gen Intel® Core™ i5-12600H
Cores 12
Threads 16
Frequency 4.5 GHz
I mean your NFS mount, network setup, etc
but if you have an actual issue I would focus on the website and post logs as well if you are missing thumbnails
It's on docker compose in stack for portainer
Hello. It's log in mobile application after update.

In the scan settings, it does not start the scan of the external library, what should I do?

Snif snif

I don't understand why it works when I restart the immich_server container every time? This is not a solution.
Look. I just restarted the immich_server image, the transcoding starts in the tasks, but nothing happens in the logs.


Anyone to help me tonight?
Hi, anyone please ?
Today, I launched a scan but nothing was executed. So I restarted the immich-server container, and then it launched the scans on facial recognition and thumbnails. But in the afternoon, I realize that there are no more people and that it has deleted everything.
