The bug

Not sure when it happened, but it appears the thumbnails for the people recognized by face recognition are not being displayed. I have re-ran the jobs to re-create the thumbnails, scan faces, update storage template, etc. is there something else I might be missing?

I get a bunch of these errors in the log when loading the Explore page; so it seems it keeps trying to find a thumbnail file that doesn't exist despite re-creating thumbnails and rescanning faces...

Can you please make sure your mount at UPLOAD_LOCATION is accessible in the containers?

Wow, quick response! It is. Everything else seems to work great, including the thumbnails for the actual photos, it's just the thumbnails for the faces that don't. I can just wipe and re-deploy if need be, maybe I borked something.

Hmm, even when you run the facial recognition job for ALL the faces still don't show thumbnail?

Yep, I have done both the ALL and MISSING, but no luck on either. I even went as far as doing the same for all the other jobs.

The thumbnails are generated by the microservices container, so unless something is wrong with the microservies container, this is a pretty strange error

Negative. Hmmm...Is there a way to purge those or is it possible to nuke the DB and have it scan everything again? I'm actually re-downloading my takeout from Google again so will probably start from scratch, but at least wanted to see if this happened to anyone else and if there would be a fix, in case it would happen again.

When you run the Recognize Faces job it removed all faces and starts fresh. So unless the mount is broken, I am unsure what is going on. This is the first report of this error instance

Interesting. Okay, well I will just assume I probably did something to mess it up and will start fresh. Appreciate the input!

You can leave the issue opened until you resolve the issue if you'd like. I don't mind. Let me know it things go

I tried changing the storage label on my user and ran the update to storage migration and then ran the face detect again and it seems to be working now...which is kind of weird as it doesn't appear the thumbnails are stored under the storage label anyway. I am going to blame it on something I did and will try to keep track better, in case it happens again.
