.nomedia doesn't seem to work everytime

[Emporea]

I created a new folder in my root directory and placed some photos in it. It was visible in memories -> Folders as expected. Then I placed a .nomedia inside the new folder, but the folder is still visible in memories -> Folders.

I tried restarting the server, and I ran the occ memories:index with no effect; still visible.I haven't tried to delete the data-tables of memories yet, but I guess that could work as a workaround.

occ memories:index --clear

occ memories:index --clear throws an error.

occ memories:index --clear

Hmm strange. Try occ memories:index --clear -n What OS is this?

[Emporea]

Adding -n worked, and the .nomedia folder isn't visible anymore. Thanks! But I still don't understand why it threw that error and why -n even worked, as it answers this question Are you sure you want to clear the existing index? (y/N) with no, or am I wrong? I actually tried occ memories:index --clear -y before but that told me that The "-y" option does not exist..

I use the official non-alpine fpm docker image of nextcloud, I think that's ubuntu.

-n enables non-interactive mode, so it's actually a y. But it's very strange that PHP fails to read from STDIN. Maybe it needs to explicitly open stdin? No idea.

BTW, leave this open. The way we handle hiding folders with .nomedia is to hide folders with no previews. Ideally we should be making an explicit check for .nomedia.

Ah good to know. Also I didn't know that memories:index --help exists. I just tried it and now I know. ^^. Allright. I leave this open.

But it's very strange that PHP fails to read from STDIN

I think it's because of the way I called php occ. I ran docker exec -u www-data nextcloud_app php occ. What I should've done is docker exec -it -u www-data nextcloud_app php occ for interactive and tty.

Ah that makes perfect sense now
