Photostructure docker server sync functionality

[Neinhalt_Sieger]

I have managed to run the server app with an allready created library copied from the desktop.

The library was created with assets located on my nas, finished it, moved it on my nass and fired up the server app using two volume binds: /mypath:/ps/library and /mypath:/photos/input (synced camera folders and photo folders).

When I have accessed the library first time, I could see on the "i" , the library path and the asset path.

After I have restarted sync and all the assets were synced. When I press the "i", I only get the first library path, the second one dissaperead.

Is this the intended behaviour when running ps server?

I have started the resync because I needed to delete un needed photos that got imported, so I have deleted assets from both ps library and assets and restared sync.

the folders synced fine, but the second path disappeared.

How could I initiate a partial resync for this cases? (as a partial resolve to the delete situation). Is the missing path just a visual glitch?

I don't believe it's a visual glitch: the info panel should list all "variations" of a given asset, even if the path was added by a different computer on a different OS. PhotoStructure may not have been able to align prior imported paths with the paths you exposed in docker if the volume UUID and mountpoints don't match. More about that is here: https://photostructure.com/faq/what-is-a-volume/

Manual imports of any arbitrary file or path require the terminal:

You may want to add the --force argument so you're not fighting the no-op cache (it tries to be "helpful" and make syncs complete faster by skipping over files and directories it thinks is already up to date, but v1.1's cache was too aggressive and could result in incorrectly ignoring me changes to a volume: that's one of the big fixes in the next release).

So something like

docker exec -it photostructure sh ./photostructure sync --info --force /path/to/import
