Hello,

If you have your device connected via a lan cable, you can go to the IP of the device. This will show it INDI-WEB is working.

I'm connected to the RPi via Wifi and my wireless router - IP address 192.168.0.117.

I connect using VNC to that IP address.

The Web Manager is at 192.168.0.117:8624.
On this SD unless I first run indi-web manually it can't find that address either from the RPi itself or my Win10 Desktop PC.

My Astroberry SD is just fine, so I must have done something wrong setting it up.
If I were to start again with the NOOBS should I download the full Indi before building KStars?

Hello,

AstroBerry.io has an image already to build. This includes ind-web. This is the appeal of AstroBerry Server 2.0.2.

The other method, via INDI, builds for Ubuntu Mate. I keep my RPI3B+ Ubuntu Mate. It doesn’t have InDI-web.

I would look at the .service files for the components of InDI-web. Check to see if services are not lining up. The systemctl output looks like the service is running.

AstroPI3 includes some tools to get indiwebmanager pieces monitored. I would not recommend it for AstroBerry Server 2.0.2. ABS 2..0.2 is optimized to be a remote device.

Here is how I get to the device. I just use the IP. Don’t add the port.

I know that Astroberry is fully complete. That's why in my short 2 week acquaintance with it I love it.

I'm just fooling around with stuff waiting for KStars to be upgraded for the SV305.
That's why I tried to build KStars from scratch on plain RaspBian.

Actually, the reason why I included 2 services on the attachment is to show that despite the fact that it looks like the indiwebmanager service is running, the status is not showing in green which all the other services are.
I don't know what that means.

Getting to the RPi with AB running is not a problem. If I just use the IP address without the port number I get to the Astroberry Server page. Adding the port should take me to the Web Manager if it's running.

I'll have a look at the .service files.

As I said before, this is not critical. I'm sure KStars will release an update sooner or later.

In the mean time I'll use AstroDMx on Astroberry.

Cheers

Hello,

Fantastic. Click on Start. On the Lefthand of the session is tab. Click on on it. This is INDI Web.

To keep INDIWEBMANAGER running is to create a profile. That is it. The applets in this tab provide graphical presentations of your equipment. I created several to test equipment. My production mirrors EKOS.

When creating a profile, click on the box below to always use the profile, default and auto run. Everything is working.

When is KSTARS in the OS, KSTARS will complain about another running instance. This instance is INDIWEBMANAGER. You can close it but it’s service file has a restart option. It is designed to restart after a crash. Enjoy.

Thanks for posting these instructions. However, I just tried it and got this error:

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:212 (find_package):
By not providing "FindStellarSolver.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this
project has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by
"StellarSolver", but CMake did not find one.

Could not find a package configuration file provided by "StellarSolver"
with any of the following names:

StellarSolverConfig.cmake
stellarsolver-config.cmake

Add the installation prefix of "StellarSolver" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
"StellarSolver_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files. If
"StellarSolver" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it
has been installed.

kstars 3.5.0 includes an integrated plate solver, but requires this library to be installed in order to build.

github.com/rlancaste/stellarsolver

You would build from source and install it in much the same fashion as the kstars source build and install.

Has the repo been updated for astroberry to support the new kstars and indi updates?

There is typically a one or two week delay from the point that a new release hits the main Ubuntu repo, before it reaches the Astroberry repo.

The repository has kstars 3.5 but in my case I had to perform distro update. After using
apt-get dist-upgrade, I got the newest kstars with no problems.
