Sorry Radek you have misunderstood what I mean.

I am suggesting ,maybe badly, the your panels and weather plugin do the same thing as existing CDC / Kstars ( cant comment about HNSKY as I dont use it) and take the co-ords from Indi - whether set up by GPS or manually or via Fake GPS.

So your Fake / virtual GPSD makes perfect sense to me as it will , as you state ,feed into Indi CDC etc without any changes to existing software - I am all for KISS (hope you know what that means in IT terms LOL). Using this method you could even then take GPS feeds from a mobile phone - think Indi can already do this but via another driver (GPS NMEA) ? - Does GPSD allows for multiple GPS sources or could Fake GPS be modified to act as a HUB ?

It terms of overall terms of things Astroberry panels use is a minor issue - perhaps it shows how good the Astroberry V2 is - as we are discussing minor issues not major bugs

I was not suggesting forcing users to do command line work - I was just pointing out the commands available that could be used in background scripts ,called on by Astroberry panel, to gain access to Indi settings for the Astroberry GPS Panel.

Nothing is ever perfect !

Sure I know what KISS means

Hello,

After dealing with alignment issues, logging was the first item I attempted to setup. The Debug button never stays on. Disable is fixated.

Is this a feature?

FYI :- You can still use the Astroberry Panels especially its Web Indi panel to set up/start/connect etc even if you only boot the RPI to CLI. Useful maybe if you use client server and have indi spread across a number of devices. Works fine!

Hello,
is it possible to install Astroberry Server2 on hdd/sdd or only to SD? (Raspberry Pi4)

Thanks.

Tomas

Hello,

Is INDILIB 1.8.2 part of AstroBerry 2.0? If not, what keeps AB 2.0 updated to current INDILIB and KSTARS update? Thank you.

Last time I looked it wasn't possible to boot from USB with a std RPI4 Buster os - still waiting. BUT you can part of he system on SSD via USB hackaday.com/2019/09/09/can-you-really-u...s-a-desktop-machine/

Yes it is part of Astroberry, and you keep both INdI and Kstars updated with the usual terminal commands..

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

Booting and running from HDD/SSD is not astroberry specific. If you configure your system to boot/run from external drive astroberry will be fine.
However raspberry does not boot directly from external drive. It always uses SD for it. So you need to keep at least SD card with boot partition and configure root parameter in /boot/cmdline.txt to point to your external drive partition e.g. /dev/sda1 (it must be ext4 formated and it should contain all the files from root partition). Also you would need to change the configuration of /etc/fstab to change / point to new partition (e.g. /dev/sda1).

The update has been released. So please run regular: sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

From now on GPS Panel and Astro Panel use only GPS readings as source of location. For users that do not have GPS, the system provides Virtual GPS (sudo apt install virtualgps), which can be configured by editing /etc/location.conf file or using Preferences/Geographic Location menu. Virtual GPS provides system-wide location information to each end every system component and application, so it can be used also in KStars, indi-gps and even indi_gpsd or indi_gpsnmea (any anything that uses gpsd service).

If you use GPS don't install virtualgps or disable it after installation (sudo systemctl stop virtualgps.service && sudo systemctl disable virtualgps.service).

The /etc/astropanel.conf file has been abandoned and is not used anymore. The same for binding to Weather Plugin location - it's not used anymore.

Will this work on Tinkerboard (armbian os) & Nvidia Jetson Nano( ubuntu ) ?

If you mean whether virtual gps will work on others hardware, the answer is yes, it should work. Regarding whole Astroberry Server the answer is no, it is designed to work on raspberry only.
