Desperately trying to view album art in web interface

[JOJ0]

I'm really not sure anymore what's wrong here. I just don't see any album nor artist art in the web interface and nor in an ampache client on my mobile...

I can successfully gather art using the web catalog command as well as the ampache cli. Running 6.3. on a modern Linux machine inside a Docker container (nosql with second container mysql)

Now I see this in the log:

2024-03-19T08:40:10+00:00 [admin] (Ampache\Repository\Model\Art) -> Local image art /metadata/album/265/default/art-original.jpg cannot be read.

I have set in my config:

; Album Art Store on Disk
; This defines if arts should be stored on disk instead of database.
; DEFAULT: "false"
album_art_store_disk = "true"

; Local Metadata Directory
; This define a local metadata directory with write access where to store
; heavy data if enabled (album arts, ...)
; DEFAULT: none
local_metadata_dir = "/metadata"

docker-compese.yml:

...
    volumes:
      - /remote/data/music-library:/media:ro
      - ./log:/var/log/ampache
      - ./config:/var/www/config
      - ./mysql:/var/lib/mysql
      - ./playlists:/playlists
      - ./art:/var/www/art
      - ./metadata:/metadata
      - ./cache:/cache
 ...

Permissions on my host machine:

$ ls -ln
total 84

Fiddling around with this for hours, clearly either something is buggy here or I simply don't understand how this is working.

I got ampache to run with older versions already though and htpught I know my way around the config but it seems like I just don't get it.

So I'm now trying SOMETHING ELSE, to simply read all album art from tags and not try to fetch from anywhere:

; Ampache to search. If you want to disable one of the search
; methods simply leave it out. DB should be left as the first
; method unless you want it to overwrite what's already in the
; database
; POSSIBLE VALUES (builtins): db tags folder lastfm musicbrainz google
; POSSIBLE VALUES (plugins): Amazon,TheAudioDb,Tmdb,Omdb,Flickr
; DEFAULT: db,tags,folder,spotify,musicbrainz,lastfm,google
;art_order = "db,folder,tags,lastfm,spotify"
art_order = "tags"

cli run:updateCatalog -vvv -m -g

gives me that in log:

What am I looking at? What does results: [] mean? Empty array as a result? That good? Or does it mean "zero errors"??

BTW: All my cover art is in my id3 tags. I've carefully discovered and fixed my tags using beets, so there definitely shouldn't be any magic fetching from musicbrainz, spotify, lastfm be required (except maybe for artist art, I don't have that yet, but that's not the point here)

It's driving me crazy....I'm sorry for sounding unpatient, but I am, it can't be so hard

the results log doesn't correctly print the results so i'll fix that

you're probably having rewrite rules issues. is you docker behind a proxy? do you have the default empty art of a blank square for art?

do you see art when you do it manually in the web interface?

If you've done a gather you'll be able to check the art in the image table of the database too.
