No library content found

[DruHoagland]

Hey there - Setting up Retrom on a new server, first time using it since the original release. I must be doing something wrong mapping my games library, but I'm not sure what. When I try to update the library it gives me an error:

retrom-retrom-1 | 2024-12-13T08:15:13.800783Z WARN update_library:update_library: retrom_service::grpc::library::update_handlers: Failed to resolve platforms: Could not read directory or file: No such file or directory (os error 2)

This is hosted in Docker. If I bash into the container and go up one directory I can see the library, 'library1', I can enter into it and see all of the platform folders > game folders > roms. But I have some disconnect with the UI, because it can't see the library. An obvious culprit is that I'm using an nfs share mounted in the docker container, however, I'm hoping that isn't the issue since the library is totally accessible when I bash into the container. I think the path /library1 should be recognized internally.

Compose:

  retrom_library:
    name: retrom_library

Questions related to troubleshooting should be restricted to either discord, or GitHub discussions. I've moved this to the latter for now. Issues are specifically for bug reports or well-defined feature requests, for organizational purposes. 😃

Now, back to your issue at hand!

Can you confirm that the config file is named config.json exactly and confirm that the user that the server is running under has read access to the files? i.e. when you exec'd into the container and confirmed the files were there, did you do this as root or as the user your retrom server is running under?

Can you also provide the version of Retrom you are using? I see you are tagged to :latest, the first log entry should output the current version ( or you can examine the docker image ).

Also, please try running the server w/ the env var RUST_LOG=debug set and see if any additional useful logs are present!

Sorry about that! Thanks for moving it.

You pointed me in the right direction. The container was not running as the right user. I added the PID/GID information to the compose and it picked up the library right away.

Thanks for your help and for the awesome program 🙏

No need to apologize! Glad you got it working 😎
