Any uploaded or 'php artisisan lychee:sync /path/' image is blank and unviewable.

[ghxstxch]

Hi there!

I'm unsure if I'm doing something that's very simple wrong. I had initially updated from a perfectly working version 4.0.3 (I think. The number in the middle I'm unsure about) directly to the latest available version (Lychee 5.1.1). This resulted in all my images looking like this, seemingly broken, using the unsorted folder as an example.

The originals can be viewed perfectly fine (although it keeps pointing towards localhost instead of the IP address or the webpage I pointed it to, unsure how to change that too), it just seems to refuse to display them in 'Gallery' mode.

I've also attempted to just start from scratch and wiped everything and performed 'php artisisan lychee:sync /path/' for the directory that is storing these images. The same exact issue occurs. Logs will be attached below as I cannot seem to download them. What am I doing wrong?! Please let me know what other info I can provide.

I strongly suggest you have a look at the diagnostics. Those broken image are most likely explained there.
Please provide that data to us.

Here is what is in diagnostics - seems like its tied to my other question on why everything comes up as localhost instead of it's IP.

Can you edit your .env and fix that APP_URL value to the ip + port in question ?

Can you edit your .env and fix that APP_URL value to the ip + port in question ?

This allows me to access it via the IP I put in, BUT it does not seem to respect the environment variable I set for my reverse proxy (nginx proxy manager). I am able to access it and don't get the "Lychee was misconfigured" message, but I also, same as before, am not able to view images. I'm not sure if I'm understanding this correctly, but I would like to be able to access it both via direct IP and the domain I own, if at all possible. Here are my current env variables.

      - PHP_TZ=America/Chicago
      - TIMEZONE=America/Chicago
      #- APP_NAME=Laravel
      #- APP_ENV=local
      #- APP_FORCE_HTTPS=false
      #- APP_DEBUG=true
      - APP_URL=http://10.0.###.###:90
      - DB_CONNECTION=mysql
      - DB_HOST=lychee_db
      - DB_PORT=3306
      - DB_DATABASE=lychee
      - DB_USERNAME=lychee
      - DB_PASSWORD=###########
      - STARTUP_DELAY=30
      - TRUSTED_PROXIES=192.168.69.###

Additionally - some things are also acting a bit funky, I cannot move photos to other albums, as this pops up and does not allow itself to be clicked. Seems like it's trying to generate a thumbnail for the album but it fails and breaks the ability to move pictures doing so? I am trying to move from Unsorted to the 2nd album

I also see as of v4.0.6, HEIC is supported, however I get a "422 MediaFileUnsupportedException - File format not supported" message upon upload. Could you point me in the right direction for a fix?

I sincerely apologize for what are probably very simple questions, but I sincerely appreciate your help!

**

**

Update to this: I pointed it towards my domain I own for the time being, I'm just curious if this is intended or if it is possible to be able to manage it through both direct IP/Port AND the domain I want to point it to?

i have the same question. Also how to get the landing background to work i have tried everything i have found in the forums and nothing works. i even tried dropping the pic in the config folder where i know it sees as its writing stuff to it but the log in lychee says the location isn't found so weird i an on the new version 5.5.1

[ildyria]

dropping the pic in the config folder

only the files in public/ are accessible.

The landing background is just a url. If you right click on one of the picture in your photo view, and copy the url, that is the one you can use.

[Baltimorepc]

i tried that it didnt work i even tried moving the uploads/pictures folder to my public folder and it still wont work just shows broken thumbnail. i would be happy if i could just keep it black but if i leave it blank it still shows a broken thumbnail

[ildyria]

Okay, is your question about sync or about landing background ? because that is very unclear to me.

[Baltimorepc]

its the landing page as i cant get any other pic to work but the default one i tried url and the added volume for uploads nether would work. IF i can just make the landing page background jut blank/black. As i tried to leave the option blank so it wuld just be a black background but still shows a broken thumbnail

[Baltimorepc]

actually i just tried it again and it worked. i did see that it did a lychee update so i am guessing maybe that fixed it. Thank you for your replies and assistance. I do have a couple other questions. Is there a way to make the wording bigger on the landing page and or change color and slow it down a little when you first go as in how it fads in. Can i slow it down a little some how? . and move the Gallery or login link to the middle as on a phone it gets covered by the tittle and i cant shorten it as its for my wedding. Im sorry for all the questions and i appreciate all the feedback. I know use are busy and don't have time but if you do i do appreciate all your help so far.

[Baltimorepc]

also i noticed there is no login button showing on the Landing page. Just a gallery button at the top right that get covered while checking on the phone

[ildyria]

I do have a couple other questions.

I am sorry but this is not how this works.

1. this is the docker repository for Lychee. See https://github.com/LycheeOrg/Lychee for the original repository.
2. I am doing this on my free time and mostly without any support. I am not taking personalized requests.
3. There is a user.css in public/dist (if I remember correctly) which should allow you customize some of those.

I will have to close this question unfortunately.

[ghxstxch]

Thank you - my sincere apologies for not closing this thread myself. I haven't touched my install outside of updates, and it's been rock solid. Thank you for doing what you do @ildyria

[Baltimorepc]

sorry
