[BUG] Auto-Adding Books not working

[cyber-shifter]

Is there an existing issue for this?

Current Behavior

I recently migrated my Calibre container to a new stack host. I enabled the auto-add feature after seeing it in the configuration options. I have a folder specifically set up for the container to import from, which the user running has permissions to, and that is already shared out via NFS4. I can put books in there and manually import them without any problem. However, when I turned on the auto-add feature, nothing happens. I found an earlier issue about this from a couple years ago, but it didn't have any useful information (and was closed), so I made a new one.

Expected Behavior

When a file is placed in the directory, it should be added to the Calibre library pretty quickly.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Set up a directory to drop books in
2. Configure Calibre to auto-add from that directory
3. Drop ebook files into the directory.
4. Profit?

Environment

- OS: The host is Ubuntu Server 24.04
- How docker service was installed: I uninstalled all the docker components coming preinstalled natively from Ubuntu, and started over from scratch, following Docker documentation.

Container logs

I don't see any logs relating to this issue, and I'd rather not paste my whole logs output because there's a bunch of redacting of addresses I would need to do first. I can supply some of it if absolutely necessary

You don't seem to have anything mapped other than the /config mount.

j0nny alluded to the issue which is no persistent volumes containing books to import. I have no issue with automated adding of books. As OP hasn't responded since they opened this, I will assume it's resolved and close.
