Performance issue on first load ?

[toxic0berliner]

Hello everyone,

Not sure it's something worth an issue so first asking the question here...

I am noticing very quick browsing once connected, loading the gui at first is fast but the first listing is taking quite a long time, sometimes over a minute...

Here is a quick trace using devtools, you can see 12 seconds to get the first load, then I can browser in about 50ms...

this time it was "only" 12 seconds, but sometimes it can be over a minute which can make it break when over unstable cellular data connexion for example... I believe it's longer while indexing is in progress but I'm not sure.

I am running the image ghcr.io/gtsteffaniak/filebrowser which currently is v1.2.3-stable and my sources are defined as docker volumes using cifs like follows :

 smb-downloads:
    driver_opts:
      type: cifs
      o: "username=${SMB_USERNAME},password=${SMB_PASSWORD},vers=3,soft"
      device: "//jupiter.lan/downloads

It shouldn't be something about smb as if I close the browser and reopen it immediately, I get the same behaviour, so I do think the cifs mount is already setup and quick listing can be done, I'm unsure what is causing this behaviour.

If anyone has an idea on how to speed this up, or if I should make this an issue, let me know please, any help is welcome ;)

I wonder if this is related to #2174

Good catch i believe it might be related.
I indeed have a similar setup running 1.2.2-stable and it's way faster at this first page login displaying the list of files in the default path.
I will have time this weekend and try the same setup rolling back to previous versions trying to identify when this was introduced and if indeed it was better before with some hard figures from devtool. Will join the existing issue with the details if it's rhe case 👍
Happy to read there that indexing has no link with that whatsoever and in my case the first load never gets anything else than directories to show so probably no time wasted fetching metadata or trying to get preview or stuff for media files as there are none.
