While I am tinkering with the code, is there a public webpage option just like Thomas's AllSky that I am missing?

Never mind, I'll proceed with a DDNS and test it out ;)

Actually, yes there are options.

1. Exposure your all sky camera directly to the Internet (like you mentioned you would try).
1a. indi-allsky now supports uploading images and video to an S3 bucket. The page is locally served, but the images and videos are downloaded directly from S3, offloading most the bandwidth.
2. A few days ago, I released the SyncAPI functionality. You can setup a publicly available version of the indi-allsky web interface and your local server will perform web service calls to upload images and videos to the remote instance.

In addition to the SyncAPI remote instance, it also supports accepting images from multiple cameras simultaneously.

the good news, indi-allsky now works perfectly with libcamera and imx477 on my RPI4 using the JPEG option including a very good white balance. Unfortunately that is not my favorite operating model. I would like to run the software on my server and connect to a remote INDI camera. To test this I tried the indipycamera driver. The driver works nicely, I can connect with Kstars/EKOS and get good pics, but it does not work with indi-allsky.

I reported this to the author of pylibcamera and got this reply:
Sorry, this is something that needs to be fixed in indi-allsky. What I have seen so far the indi-allsky needs value GAIN of property CCD_GAIN. The indi_pylibcamera driver provides this. Likely it is just not handled the right way in indi-allsky. Please open an issue in the indi-allsky project.

Could this driver be included in the list of indi cameras in indi.allsky? Thank you very much.

Yep, understood. I have merged the changes to support setting gain for the indi_pylibcamera.py server.

I have merged a change that should prevent this situation.

In the meantime, this will resolve itself after you start indi-allsky for the first time (the capture program).

I went ahead and tested indi_pylibcamera with one of my test cameras. I had to merge another small change due to the server not supporting the DEBUG setting. After that, it started working.

even after removing indi-allsky and /var/lib/indi-allsky and a completely new install (git clone) I still don't get indi_pylibcamera.py as a selectable indi camera driver... Is there something else I have to do?

CS, Markus

edit: btw I still get the service Unavailable error but no error messages in the log
and this error:

At the moment, I cannot make indi_pyindiclient.py selectable. The driver selection is simply just looking for the server file binary in the same folder as indiserver. Since indi_pyindiclient is not really "installable", the indiserver setup is a manual task. I tried moving the files into /usr/local/bin/ and while the server started, it resulted in a segfault after connecting. The project really needs a proper python installer.

The exception above looks like some sort of container related issue.

First of all, thank you @AaronM . The project is great! I use it for just a couple of hours and I love it!
Here and of course the clouds rolled in..

I am reviewing the log and trying to figure out all the settings in the config. I am getting those errors :

As far as I can understand, this has to do with the File Transfer Protocol (?) What we have to do here?



And one more: Darks. As far as I can understand it uses gain and temperature values. Is it possible to ignore the temperature and use darks only by gain value?

The pycurl error 3 seems to indicate a bad URL parameter. Can you show your file transfer settings? (You can PM me if you like).

The darks matching does [eventually] ignore the temperature. The code performs two searches for darks. First it searches for a temperature matched dark, if it does not match one, it will search for the dark with the closest temperture (higher than the current one).
