Uninstalling Photoprism Removed Application View

brimwats · July 5, 2022, 5:22am

My YunoHost server
Hardware: Dell R720
YunoHost version: 11.0.7 (testing).
I have access to my server : SSH, direct access
Are you in a special context or did you perform some particular tweaking on your YunoHost instance ? : not really. I have a RAID server, where /home = ~2TB and /var = 20TB so most of my storage needs to be on /var

Hello!

I made a mistake when I configured my Photoprisim to use /var/Multimedia/Pictures for its library but also had its cache in /var/Multimedia/Pictures/photoprism/cache. Basically it just reindexed itself forever. I’ve now made a /var/Multimedia/Other/photoprism/cache folder, and then I deleted Photoprism and all of the files I could find related to it in /home and /var.

The uninstall had an error: https://paste.yunohost.org/raw/sugujegaye

I went to reinstall photoprism and also ran into a similar error: https://paste.yunohost.org/raw/epitexeqon

It may be worth saying: I initally installed Photoprism on photos.maindomain.tld/prism but had to move it to photos.maindomain.tld becuase I kept getting the login page for the old app that was installed at that domain (photoview)

I’ve just noticed this additional issue—all my applications are missing from the webadmin:

Please share the log of the “permission create” step related to that app install attempt.

Please also share the ouputs of:

sudo yunohost app list
sudo ls /etc/yunohost/apps

Sure, here it is. You can see from here and below that it thinks photoprisim is still installed: https://paste.yunohost.org/raw/ocojurudew

The delete operation also had a failed permssion: https://paste.yunohost.org/raw/yazafuboge

sorry — forgot to hit the reply button in case you were waiting for a notification

tituspijean · July 5, 2022, 11:39am

Thanks!

Wow that’s quite an unhelpful log. xD

Can you check that your photos.maindomain.tld domain is registered within YunoHost? If not, recreate it. If yes, delete and recreate it. Try uninstalling Photoprism again afterwards.

brimwats · July 5, 2022, 11:40am

I know right!

I tried that already. (Was able to delete domain and recreate)

I still can’t get to the applications to uninstall it. Would you know the CLI command?

tituspijean · July 5, 2022, 11:40am

brimwats · July 5, 2022, 11:45am

and I can see the application view again! yay!

tituspijean · July 5, 2022, 11:45am

~~I think you tried to install while the previous instance was still installed. If you install two Wordpress apps, the second one will be called wordpress__2 for example.~~

~~Try removing it too: yunohost app remove photoprism__2~~

~~Then run sudo ls /etc/yunohost/apps and sudo yunohost app list again.~~

Great!

brimwats · July 5, 2022, 11:46am

already did it! I re-ran the command—I’m gonna try a reboot before trying to install photoprisim again!

brimwats · July 5, 2022, 11:58am

seems to be working again! thanks a lot
