PhotoPrism on TS runs ok but displays as Deploying/Starting

TrueNAS General
,
1

Hello,

I have installed PhotoPrism and it is working in every way I expect it to work.

However, in the Apps page of Truenas Scale (25.10.7 - Goldeye) the status remains at “Deploying” and the Container display as “Starting”

I have tried every fix I can find (refer to this search: https://search.brave.com/search?q=truenas+photoprism+stuck+on+Starting+deploying+2026&conversation=09a2a09588236e54ed825f4e4ce092381bb0 ), but it still continues to display the same status.

While the app seems to be working fine I am concerned it may present problems at a later stage.

Any ideas?

Many thanks

Brian

ur container log already shows its up. listening on 0.0.0.0:20800, faces running, tls disabled.

apps page stuck on Deploying while the ui works is usually the chart probe missing that port/scheme.

id try:
-Apps → PhotoPrism → Edit, check health / probes / http vs https match 20800
-from ssh: curl -sI http://127.0.0.1:20800
-Workloads tab, see if a sidecar is still Starting

if curl is 200/302 and only the badge is wrong, leave it. common on goldeye for some apps.

Hi @nite_route

Thanks for the prompt. I had the site configured with a truenas cert and set to http. I changed to https and the problem went away.

Thanks
