Any idea what’s wrong ?

Many thanks,

Welcome to PhotoStructure, @bookeurz !

That version of node is too new for v1.1. Follow these steps:

https://photostructure.com/server/photostructure-for-node/#step-5-download-and-start-photostructure

Specifically, you’ll need to switch to the alpha branch (which should be fairly stable on linux, docker, and windows, but updates are pending to fix the macOS Desktop release, which is why we’re stuck on “alpha” instead of stable):

cd photostructure-for-servers # < wherever you happened to clone the repository
git checkout alpha
./start.sh

(Note that I had those instructions for the other platforms, but goofed and forget that step for the Ubuntu instructions. I just updated that page. Apologies for the glitch!)
