Describe the feature you'd like

Hi,

Currently it does not seem possible to disable backgrounds jobs after I created them. For example I asked to redo all the ai tags of my library but want to change my mind and I can't really.

Edit: even worse: if I'm not mistaken during ollama requests the UI hangs so I had no choice but to give a broken address to forcefully cancel the job and have karakeep be responsive again.

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing Karakeep users

More flexibility.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

I could change the url of the ollama endpoint to make it fail quickly but that's not very elegent.

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request

Additional context

No response

I think this is reasonable. I'm planning at some point to revamp the background jobs page, I can consider including this then 👍

So is there no any way to clear a crawler queue ?
Any shell command or sql query to execute ?

From within the container or wherever your data is.

apk add sqlite
cd /data
sqlite3 queue.db "DELETE FROM tasks;"

This will clear the queue.

It clears the queue but the pending/failed number of jobs is not reset to 0

I only have 43K bookmarks so the number of pending should be number_of_bookmarks - bookmarks_queued

Based on code logic in github.com/karakeep-app/karakeep@2cb1b28a11/packages/trpc/routers/admin.ts (L110)

Just just clear queues table, you also need to update the taggingStatus and summarizationStatus properties in the bookmarks table in db.db as shown below.

UPDATE bookmarks
SET summarizationStatus = 'success'
WHERE summarizationStatus != 'success';
