thumbnails missing after update to v1.83.0
I am seeing no thumbnails in the UI since updating today to 1.83 with and immich_server is throwing:
Thanks in advance for any troubleshooting help.

After reading some other threads it seems my issue is related to thumbnail assets location. I looked on my drive where immich is running as defined in UPLOAD_LOCATION and I am seeing something quite bizarre. All the thumb folders have a sub folder with the same folder names as the parent folder, and then the thumbnails themselves are in there.
For example in the folder:
D:\immich\thumbs\68f20d3c-f255-436d-b509-00cc5506613d
I see folders 00, Oa, Ob, Oc and so on, as it should be. If I then click on folder OO, instead of seeing the thumbnails, I see another list of subfolders, 00, Oa, Ob, Oc and so on!! To see the thumbs themselves I need to go into another OO folder. (see attached image)
How would this have happened and more importantly how will I fix it??

the sub folder is intended
Ok so that is not the problem then?
yeah, the problem is probably the folder doesn't get mounted correctly
are you still using Windows Docker?
Yes, windows docker. Is there a command I can run to verify the mount(s)?
You can attach to the container and check the
upload
directory

hmm why only the library folder inside the upload dir
do you map others directory like thumbnail/encode-videos to different location?
nope - stock standard install
interesting, this is why I don't like Docker on Windows
so many issues

I haven't seen this issue before though, so it is very strange. I did a PULL today to get the new update 1.83, that has been the only change
try bring the stack down then back up
have done already
Can you go to your D:\immich and show me the folders in it?


Uhmm
do you mind restart docker engine and bring the stack back up?
yep will do
docker compose down, then restart the docker engine, then docker compose up -d ... correct?
correct
Seems to have fixed it. So strange, but before I hadn't restarted the docker engine after the update, just took the stack down and up.

Many thanks Alex!
yeah no problem. I remember you said you were going to have a Linux server setup, right?
Haha, well someone has to test the windows env!! I did buy a new machine with a view to having linux on it, but it came installed with Windows11 pro and so I wanted to just try with Windows docker. The experience has been better than MacOs Docker thus far for sure. More stable.
The machine I am using is:

Ah I see
yeah if you want more compatibility, I recommend go with Linux for server environment
easier to install stuffs
but if this works for you
it is fine
Performance is good. Yes if I keep running into issues, I can blow away the win11 and stick linux on it, for now, I am a sucker for punishment! Also learning a lot!
learning is good 🙂
lol well that seemed to not last long, now getting:
Alex do you think this is the same type of error in that it is a in-container mount problem possibly?
There are no subfolders in immich_microservices usr/src/app seems there should be an "upload" folder in there?


A docker restart fixed this as well, so I am good for now.
Interestingly, she runs for a few mins, then these mounts seem to drop out. Strange.
lmao
time to install Linux my friend
