I am a little confused, brain rot I suppose.

I am trying to run an indiserver on the raspberry pi to connect to weatherradio. I will be hosting a webpage on the pi and will also use
kstars on another box if there are any clear skys.

The problem is that unless I have ekos/kstars running on the pi locally I cannot connect to the indiserver with the python
scripts for the web page.

I am running the indiserver from systemd with the root user

[Unit]
Description=INDI server for weather radio

[Service]
Type=simple
User=root
ExecStart=/usr/bin/indiserver -v indi_weatherradio

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

I start kstars as the pi user on the device and save the configuration

I see that the xml file in /root is changed
sudo ls -l /root/.indi
total 16
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 7897 Nov 21 13:36 'Weather Radio_config.xml'
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4534 Nov 18 20:08 'Weather Radio_config.xml.default'

I can see that the service is running
sudo systemctl status indi-weatherradio

As the pi user, if I run wr_rrd_update.py when kstars is connected I see
./bin/wr_rrd_update.py -v
Updating data from "Weather Radio"@localhost:7624
Connection established to "Weather Radio"@localhost:7624
Weather parameters read from "Weather Radio"@localhost:7624

If I run wr_rrd_update.py when kstars is not connected I see
./bin/wr_rrd_update.py -v

The indiserver is still running fine.

I am sure I had this running last winter and don't know how I broke it.

ps. I too have ordered an RG-11 sensor from the states and am waiting....
