Bug Description

Seeing this error in my notification:

The website is accessible using the URL for both the image and the website mentioned in the error message so not sure if it's the port number causing this.

postToMap.sh: ERROR: Image URL 'https://allsky..../current/resized/image.jpg' does not appear to be a valid image.ERROR: Website URL 'https://allsky..../allsky/index.php/' does not appear to be a valid web site.   (December 27, 06:39:22 AM)

@chvvkumar, Kumar, change your WebUI login and password ASAP.
I am on your WebUI page and if I was hacker I could control your Pi.

@chvvkumar, Kumar, change your WebUI login and password ASAP. I am on your WebUI page and if I was hacker I could control your Pi.

Thanks for the head's up! I changed it to test some things but changed it back now.

For the Website URL error, remove index.php from the URL in the WebUI. Note in the red message it appended a / to the URL because it assumes the URL points to a directory. I will look at changing this.

After making the change, please run:

postToMap.sh  --debug --force

I will look at the image URL error when I am on my PC. In the meantime, I am curious why you have resized in the URL? I assume you created an allsky/tmp/resized/ directory and are somehow copying the current image there?

[EricClaeys]

You can lower your Debug Level to 3. Level 4 is rarely needed anymore and makes the log harder to read.

Also, you can disable Use dark frames because they aren't implemented yet on RPi cameras. If you made some changes to get them to work in the prior release, note these messages in the log file:

*** darkSubtract.sh: WARNING: 'AS_TEMPERATURE_C' not set; continuing without dark subtraction.

That seems to have fixed it! Thank you!

The resized image is what I normally use everywhere other than the webui. I use it on:

The desktop display I made:
#3630

and as an input to my ML cloud detection project I made:
https://github.com/chvvkumar/simpleCloudDetect

Both of those pull a new image every 30s from the AllSky Pi and sending a large ~2.5MB image is not necessary. So there is a morgify cron task that takes the latest image, resizes it to 750x750 and saves it to /resized/ folder.

As for the debug level-4, I am checking my periodic log for the module I developed for allsky-modules:
https://github.com/AllskyTeam/allsky-modules/tree/dev/allsky_mqttsubscribe

And finally, I will go ahead and disable the dark frame subtraction, I managed to get it working a while ago but I don't think I need to enable it any more.

Is everything fixed now, or just the directory URL?

[chvvkumar]

Everything is fixed now but I am actually not sure why that message popped up today. I have been running with the same /resized/ image URL for quite a while now.

This is an issue that still happens though, which is why I thought it might be the port number in the URL causing it. The current image doesn't show up on the map if the address has a host:port in the URL.

I am closing this Issue.
I created Issue #4128 for the problem you had with index.php in the URL, and the Map not working with URLs with port numbers is already documented.
