Hello Denis,

Have you been able to get a list of indihub users?
Or an option which allows me to find out who is sharing their equipments and how to contact them?

thanks

Hello!

Yes, we do have all hosts in DB but we need a UI to present them in a usable way. Good timing, we are focusing to release Web UI in around 1st week of October! There will be directory of observatories where you can find and request share session.
Also, with that release we are going to introduce sign up and sign in asking hosts for email, after sign in you can add you equipment (if you have indihub-agent installed) and then you appear in the directory of observatories.

I spent most of the time this summer to make sure traffic can be processed with the minimum of computational resources. Unfortunately, had to stop the imaging processing pipeline process and development as it is getting too expensive, I will need to rethink and optimize it. So all integration with 3d parties is postponed (temporarily). The good news - share session traffic communication is very light weight and doesn't require any significant computational power.

I will post here when UI is ready to test.

Denis

p.s. meanwhile let me know if you want to be a guest to use my equipment - I will be glad to set it up and can message you connection string!

I definitely would like to try thanks, not just your equipment but more about the indihub space.

Just thought of an idea for indihub.
Instead of just sharing your equipment (in other words: having a stranger control your precious observatory), we should be able to share "sequence files + target".

So in a nutshell:
The Indihub website has a map of Indi observatories, with full info about the imaging train specs, bortle classification, live weather info etc...
A user pick an Indihub observatory and submit his sequence file(s)
Wait for results, as in all the raw files (light dark etc...), maybe they could be uploaded automatically to an Indihub shared location between the requester and the observatory owner

Hi Denis, this is a cool little project I've just stumbled across and exactly what I need to share my observatory with friends :)

I'm running into a little issue here, maybe you can help? For some reason when I run the agent it defaults to solo mode, I'm not sure if this because of my specific setup. I have astroberry running remotely on pi4 connected to my network via lan and ekos/web manager on my PC (localhost). Looks like I'm probably overlooking something obvious and simple, would appreciate a nudge in the right direction!

Regards,
C.

Hi Ciarán,

To start agent in a share-mode you will need to provide command line parameter:
-mode=share

Then it will print out on the screen public host name and port to share with friends. Please note only one friend can connect at one time.

Regards,

Denis

Thanks for the prompt reply Denis. Amazing piece of software, I can share what's mine with friends who'd love to participate but don't have the means, isn't that what it's all about? :)

I really hope this gets integrated into ekos, it deserves to be.

Best of luck with it.

Is there a list of "shared" system we can query?
