Issues with location upload of Timelapse videos / startrails / keograms etc..

[prodromos]

Hi Experts!

I have installed some time ago the allsky on my Raspberry Pi and used FTP to connect it to the website https://astrovirgo.com/allsky/
Image refreshes without an issue, however I have never managed to get the timelapse videos / Keogram / Startrails to go succesfully on the proper locations on the websites.

Version: v2023.05.01_04
[Local Website: v2023.05.01 ] (http://allsky.local/allsky/index.php)
Remote Website: v2023.05.01

my current ftp-settings left blank intentionally cause whatever I tried so far seems to break the postData.sh when testing.

	# How will files be uploaded?
PROTOCOL="ftp"

	# The directory where the current image should be copied to.
IMAGE_DIR=""
WEB_IMAGE_DIR=""

	# The directory where the timelapse video should be uploaded to.
VIDEOS_DIR=""
VIDEOS_DESTINATION_NAME=""
WEB_VIDEOS_DIR=""

	# The directory where the keogram image should be copied to.
KEOGRAM_DIR=""
KEOGRAM_DESTINATION_NAME=""
WEB_KEOGRAM_DIR=""

	# The directory where the startrails image should be copied to.
STARTRAILS_DIR=""
STARTRAILS_DESTINATION_NAME=""
WEB_STARTRAILS_DIR=""


############### ftp, ftps, sftp, and scp PROTOCOLS only:
	# Name of the remote server.
REMOTE_HOST="ftp.astrovirgo.com"

I already tried what was mentioned on this thread #3409 (comment)
but it failed to upload afterwards.

Also tried to generate daily and it was complaining about the thumbnail folder not created on the web location, which seems it's is taking it in the directory of the main location as seen in this picture to get it to work without error but that ends up as blank on the Web UI page cause it points to /videos folder (https://astrovirgo.com/allsky/videos/)

Locally on the Pi my subdirectory example of a daily folder that gets created consists as such and it has the subdirectories in it for keogram, thumbnails, startrails

Any idea what can be done to have the uploads pointing to the correct location on the web without breaking down?

@prodromos,
I suggest upgrading to the newest Allsky release on your Pi and the remote Website. The way it handles Websites is significantly easier and it should resolve your problems.

See the link to the instructions in the README.MD file on the main GitHub page.

Hello @EricClaeys , thanks for your reply.
I have uninstalled and did a fresh install to the latest version.
I then installed the Web version using the command hash remoteWebsiteInstall.sh
files got uploaded fine.

and was able to see the website loading images and the menus / info

I then wanted to test test the timelapse and seems it uploaded to the correct directory this time when I generated for the day.

Many thanks for the tip to update!

@prodromos, glad you got it working and it resolved your problems.

FYI, for ZWO cameras we suggest turning OFF auto-gain but leaving auto-exposure on.
