Background tasks queue but don't execute (Huey not running)

[apmihal]

After installing linkding I enabled image previews and favicons, but they weren't showing up. Looking at the admin panel's tasks page I could see tasks were queueing up but not executing.

I searched through other issues and found a thread where you mentioned checking background_tasks.log, but I couldn't locate it. I noticed it was referenced in /etc/linkding/supervisord.conf so I manually ran the associated command python manage.py run_huey -f. As soon as I ran this the log showed a lot of activity and the favicons and images immediately appeared.

It looks like the Huey background task worker isn't starting automatically in my setup. Is there a setup step I could've missed, or could this be a configuration issue with supervisord? I also tried passing python manage.py run_huey -f in my docker compose, but that caused the page to not load. I'm running latest.

I can't think of anything that would cause this, other than setting the LD_DISABLE_BACKGROUND_TASKS variable as mentioned here.

Are there any clues in the startup logs of the container? Can you share the environment variables that you have configured?
