I am trying to Synchronise images from the galleries directory to create an album. I am new to Piwigo and I have been reading through many forums and have not been able to understand the syncing process and what I am doing wrong.
I have piwigo running in docker on synology. I have copied a folder with a test image to galleries, plus I have used "sudo mount --bind" on synology to create a symlink from a folder with a few images to /volume1/docker/piwigo/gallery/galleries
when I run tools-sync I get the following. I am sure I am missing something basic.
0 albums added to the database
0 photos added to the database
0 albums deleted in the database
0 photos deleted from the database
0 photos updated in the database
0 errors during synchronisation
Piwigo 14.2.0 Check for upgrade
Operating system: Linux
PHP: 8.3.2 (Show info) [2024-02-16 21:37:49]

Hi :-)
in piwigo

Sorry, I am not understanding your response.
my docker configuration looks like this
volumes:
- /volume1/docker/piwigo:/config:rw
- /volume1/docker/piwigo/gallery:/gallery:rw

Hi,
Not sure whether this helps, but in my case it was a missing subfolder in the galleries' folder that caused the same error. The moment I created another folder and stored the pictures in that subfolder, it worked. Obviously, images are not recognized if stored directly in the galleries' folder.
Cheers

As long as you are using docker, you have to mount your pictures folder as a volume.
Like this:
volumes:
- /volume1/docker/piwigo:/config:rw
- /volume1/docker/piwigo/gallery:/gallery:rw
- /my_pictures_folder:/gallery/galleries/my_pictures_folder:ro
