Can't save any (admin) settings

[AlexNathan345]

I successfully installed the 4 dockers and can login with the admin account. However, when I try to set a scan directory in 'Admin area' I cannot select/enter any folders (none are offered, when I type my own it doesn't save).

When I login as a user and go to the 'Settings' area I cannot save any settings. Entering name/email address or uploading a photo - none of these save and are blank when I next go to the 'Settings' area.

Any idea what might be going on here? Thanks so much for your help.

I also can't save any settings for a user and the only directory i could see was /data so I had to map /data to the directory of my pictures, that finally did the trick.

Could you please detail how you were able to map, set and access the /data folder? I mapped my photo folder to data in the docker image but can't find a way to map/access it.Thanks a lot for your help.On 11 Nov 2019 19:41, cesalo <notifications@github.com> wrote:I also can't save any settings for a user and the only directory i could see was /data so I had to map /data to the directory of my pictures, that finally did the trick. —You are receiving this because you authored the thread.Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or unsubscribe.

I declared the volumen "data" pointing to the photo folder:

    volumes:
      - /share/photos:/data # CHANGE ME
      - /home/protected_media:/code/protected_media # CHANGE ME
      - /home/logs:/code/logs # CHANGE ME

Originally I thought data was the internal config file of the docker instances but it was the only one I could see in the admin section so I changed to point to my photos folder, that worked for me at least.

That's exactly what I did, but I can't see the /data folder anywhere in the admin area. When I try to select a folder there's nothing to select...

weird .. this is what I can see:

I'm hitting this issue also. I simply can't change any setting on my profile nor can I in the admin setting see any folders listed when trying to set the sync dir, even though i can if I exec into the container and check.

And all I can see is this:

Yep, that's also what I'm seeing the same as @AlexNathan345

Is there any solution for this problems? Can the settings be edited somewhere else if the web admin doesn't work as it doesn't save them?

What I did to get this to work properly (as a hacked solution)

docker exec -it ownphotos-db /bin/bash

psql -h localhost -U postgres

\c ownphotos

Then I use ran an update query to actually update those values in the database itself

UPDATE api_user SET scan_directory = 'folder to scan' WHERE id = id

The values you can change are:

• id
• password
• last_login
• is_superuser
• username
• first_name
• last_name
• email
• is_staff
• is_active
• date_joined
• scan_directory
• avatar
• nextcloud_server_address
• nextcloud_username
• nextcloud_app_password
• nextcloud_scan_directory
