I’m getting this when I try to run PhotoStructure on one of my servers:
photostructure_1 | Please wait, setting up...
photostructure_1 | {"fatal":true,"exit":true,"status":13,"pid":14,"ppid":7,"error":"Setup timed out after 35 seconds.\nPlease visit https://photostructure.com/troubleshooting for help."}
The photos are mounted at /mnt/photos via NFS. However, I see barely any network traffic at all while PhotoStructure is starting up, so I don’t think that’s the cause of the issue. The NFS files are all owned by the same user I’m running PhotoStructure as (UID 112 and GID 116, which are for a system user called “photos”)
I looked through https://photostructure.com/faq/troubleshooting but it seems like the troubleshooting is primarily aimed at Windows issues 
. The mount is healthy and df works:
root@chi03:/mnt/photos# df -h /mnt/photos
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
chi01.vpn.d.sb:/data/photos 2.0T 375G 1.5T 21% /mnt/photos
I don’t see much in the log:
root@chi03:/var/log/photostructure/2021-01-07# tail -n100 -f *.log

Any ideas?
Debian Testing (Buster)
Docker version 20.10.2, build 2291f61
I’m pretty sure I tried that before! I’ll let you know if the issue happens again.
