As of early February, 2022 we are working on an easy way to allow you to add your own camera to the map. This will probably be done via a new setting in Allsky that will add your information and keep it up to date on a monthly basis. The map will automatically delete entries that have not been updated in a month or two.
We will need people to test this - if you would like to help, please reply to this Discussions topic. You do not need to enter any information at this time.

@maserowik Mike, your Website URL and Image URL need to start with http:// or https://. Without them the map page looks for your files on the map server. |

When updating the map pins, I'd like to suggest they link to the persons web so others could simply click to see their sky conditions. A user when providing their data for the map would provide the web address. |

Please let me add to my comment that I'd be more than glad to help out with the testing. The camera I am building is for the Oil Region Astronomical Society, and would love to add their pin to the collection. |

@astrodan02 The map on the main GitHub page is confusing. It shouldn't be a link to anything. If you click on the word "map" above it, it'll take you to the actual map. Clicking over an icon displays a pop-up with info and a picture; clicking on the picture takes you to their allsky site. |

Thomas found out how to show a picture of the map and click on it to go to the map, rather than displaying a larger version of the picture. The README file will be updated soon. |

Thank you Eric, that works great. I agree, the map confuses the issue and causes users to overlook the MAP link. Even though it shows as a link, I never considered it with the map being there. Thanks again. |

Hi there, I added some code to enable the automatic posting of cameras on the map. If you guys would like to beta test the new feature before I document it publicly in the README, that would be awesome. There are a few new options at the bottom of the settings page that need to be filled. Your details on the map will get updated at the end of every other day (which means your camera may not show up on the map right away. Give it a couple days). Thanks |

It looks like your Image URL field in the WebUI is incorrect. When I
click on your pin on the map, it doesn't display the image because there
were too many redirects.
You currently have https://allskycambelgium.net/image.jpg but if you look
in /var/www/html/allsky/config.js, you'll see that imageName is
/current/tmp/image.jpg, so your Image URL should be
https://allskycambelgium.net/current/tmp/image.jpg.
Let me know how that works.

Very strange, I also tested with some friends, (other providers) and they
all could get to my page, except like stated above, the small image is not
yet showing up.
Just did a try out again, and still works fine, using a vpn, to get out of
my own providers limitation.

Hello Thomas, I may use this site a little differently than other people. The following is very interesting to me
I currently have to click on each pin to get this information. show images: This replaces the currently displayed pins (max 10) with the current images (updated hourly) |

@AndreasLMeg Thanks for the suggestion. Between your idea and other previous discussions I think I'm starting to see the way forward. I like the idea of the preview at the bottom and replacing the pins with images but I'll have to experiment to see what the user experience feels like with tight grouping. |

@thomasjacquin, @AndreasLMeg, @linuxkidd We could do something similar. Red pins for "no image", green for RPiHQ camera, blue for ZWO, and different colors for different Pi versions. Once we move to one config file with different versions for different cameras, we can standardize some of the fields like camera name and Pi version so it's easier to parse. But we could parse now and be pretty accurate. I believe we can use smaller pins, which would help when there are a lot of them. Once we figure out how to handle Allsky versions (e.g., what does a version mean when it's possible to update part of the package? What does version 0.8.3.3 apply to? etc.), I'd really like postToMap.sh to send the version and then have it available to developers. Actually, thinking about it, I can get the capture* version now. Thomas, I'll try sending it in an @thomasjacquin, if the map page used ajax to grab an image only when a user clicked on a pin, the page would load super fast since it wouldn't grab any images initially. There would be a slight delay when a user clicked on a pin while the picture is loaded, unless someone already clicked on that pin recently (which realistically probably won't happen very often - I assume the page doesn't get hundreds of hits a day?). I also assume a single user doesn't click on all the pins, so getting all of them "in case" someone clicked on its pin wouldn't be needed. Interesting idea about having each allsky website have a thumbnail. It would be pretty easy to implement. One of my to-do items is to optionally create keogram, startrails and especially timelapse thumbnails and upload to websites, since most commercial websites don't support the php "exec()" function so can't create timelapse thumbnails. Creating them on the Pi and uploading should be easy and neatly solves that problem. |

With the current allsky version, more and more camera stickers are appearing on the map. Unfortunately, most are in the wrong locations and/or not linked to any image. Would it be possible to make the creation of a sticker dependent on the settings? I'm thinking of checking "Website URL" and/or "Image URL". If nothing is specified there, no sticker should be placed on the map. Steffen |

@jimjackii A lot of people's Pi's are not available on the Internet so they don't have a URL, but we still wanted to show where they are. |

@eric While the one for Oil Region Astronomical Society in PA has a link
to the current picture, I goofed up and can't seem to get the directory
locations correct. Can you
please post a generic ftp config file for anyone installing and serving
with just the Pi? Same thing with adding the image, though, I am sure its
the same problem.
Thanks in advance,
Dan

I do agree that the usefulness of the map is decreased by so many pins
without an image. I suggested to Thomas that it would be nice to have
different color pins for people with and without an image.

@bemo47 In your post a few hours ago you had a screenshot of the popout when clicking on the camera icon in the Allsky Website. Is N 44 37 and E 0 16 correct or should it be E 0 28 ?

@EricClaeys no the screenshot of the map show the wrong E 0.16 position and not the E 0.28 position which is the right one correct location is not far away, E 0.28 instead of E 0.16 but its like it was not taking care of the right value in my config.js but, but, but..... since sometime i have difficulties to access my webserver from outside, i guess it need to be accessed from outside to be able to send the right coordinates to the map ? maybe its just because of my lack of access from internet to my server ? it worked at start, and got the 0.16 which was in my config.js at start, and then it didn't got the connection... so no update... could be the reason... |

@bemo47 The map page uses the longitude and latitude from your WebUI, and has 44.62 for your latitude and 0.28 for your longitude, so that part appears to be working fine. I'm pretty sure your longitude is incorrect, if the green circle is your location. I zoomed into the map and clicked on the pin for Boubert Franck which is very close to you, and got a longitude of 0.444342, not 0.28: |

Sooo, that's where i must understand which coordinates you expect in the config.js ?

@bemo47 The map, as well as allsky and the Allsky Website require a decimal number with a period separating the degrees and fraction. One place needs N, S, E, or W and another doesn't. None of the programs accept hour, minute, second format. |

@EricClaeys but if i look on the Pi Zero which is reading the files in the Pi4 through the Samba share, i see the good coordinates when i edit the config.js file, but the display is still with th old value unclear... they should display the same, i did reboot the Pi Zero but it stays with old values |

@bemo47 The map data on the server is updated whenever you update any of the map-related settings in the WebUI. The updates are instantaneous - once you see the message near the top of the WebUI that the map data was updated, the server has the new information and next time you go to the map, or refresh your browser if already on the map, you'll have the new data. You don't need to access the Internet to have the data updated, although your Pi needs to be connected to the Internet in order for the updated data to be sent to the server. You can easily test this by changing one of the field, for example, the "lens", then check that the map shows the new entry, then set the "lens" field back to what it was. @ON2ON-HAM With Google Maps, you shouldn't have to press F5 since the data isn't cached. |
