Maybe I did an install of one of the packages? indiweb? as root when it shouldn't have been?

that is what I expect happened. Perhaps the solution is to uninstall it using pip3 as root and then install it using pip3 as yourself?

Its interesting that I didn't know you were running as root until you tried to open a browser window as root. Perhaps I should add a warning for that.

Looking back through what you posted, I see that you did this:

sudo -H pip3 install indiweb

It probably should have just been this:

pip3 install indiweb

to install as yourself.

Although also if you are running indiwebmanagerapp as root, it probably would install indiweb as root too.

Ok I added a check and a warning message for running the program as root. It won't prevent you from doing it, but it will warn you about issues.

Ok I went to version 0.9 and made a release. For the OS X version you can go here :

github.com/rlancaste/INDIWebManagerApp/releases/tag/0.9

For the Linux version it is in the nightly ppa, or the source code is on git.


Please test again,

Thanks !

Now i know why it keeps OFFLINE. This is because I let another Indi Webmanager continue to run. After I turn off the other instance, your indi web manager app start to ONLINE!

Yes that makes sense Tom.

So the other INDI webmanager was running when you started INDI Webmanager app?

Did it give you the option to shut down the other one and then you said no?

Yes, it did. Now my question is, how to determine whether the Auto Launch Manager always auto startup after system reboot?

You said:

"Now my question is, how to determine whether the Auto Launch Manager always auto startup after system reboot?"

You can set the INDI WebManager App to automatically start up by adding it to your startup programs. This procedure differs depending on your operating system. I don't have a way in the options to make INDI Web Manager App automatically open on system launch yet. That might be something for the future.

You can set the app to automatically launch an INDI WebManager when INDI WebManager App opens in the options, the one you mentioned: "Auto Launch Manager".

And you can set the INDIServer to start up automatically with the profile of your choice by opening the web manager with the big button and selecting those options on the webpage of the Web Manager.

So you can basically set it up so that the INDI Web Manager App automatically comes up, starts a web manager, and starts an INDI Server.

If you are trying to have an INDI Web Manager automatically start without using the INDI Web Manager App, then that is not the purpose of this program. You want the instructions on this page: github.com/knro/indiwebmanager

Ok, your question got me thinking, so I worked hard today to add the feature to be able to start up the INDI Web Manager app on startup on both OS X and Linux. If you guys could test this on your system before I release a new version, that would be great! Also please let me know if there are any other problems.

Ok I released a new version, version 1.0. This might be the only version for the next two weeks or so since I will be kind of busy. But this version includes the option to set INDI Web Manager App to start when the system starts, which should be a very useful function for people setting up a remote system that should automatically turn on.

Please test things thoroughly and enjoy the new app.

For OS X, you can get version 1.0 here: github.com/rlancaste/INDIWebManagerApp/releases/tag/1.0
For Linux, it is available from the nightly PPA: launchpad.net/~mutlaqja/+archive/ubuntu/indinightly
For Source Code, it is available on GitHub: github.com/rlancaste/INDIWebManagerApp

Happy Imaging!

Thanks,
