indi‑allsky comes with everything you need to always provide the latest image or video from the Allsky camera via redirect. This means that websites, blogs or dashboards can be provided with “live” views of the camera without much tinkering.
I use the whole thing on this page:
Live image from the Allsky camera in Rodgau‑Weiskirchen
With a few small tweaks to the plugin that I use for integration, the live image from my Allsky camera is loaded again at lightning speed.
Sometimes you can’t see the wood for the trees – even when coding 😉
I use the indi‑allsky software for my Allsky camera (more information here!). There have been very rare occasions when my camera has stopped responding – and of course you want to be able to look at last night’s images when you’re out and about. allsky-rodgau.de does offer a live image, but not such an extensive archive as the software. That’s why I found out how to access the camera from “outside”.
After setting up the myFRITZ! release, I wanted to make my Allsky camera accessible under its own subdomain.
To do this, I first set up the myFRITZ! share as described here. I then created a so-called CNAME entry for the subdomain at my web host all-inkl.com.
After months of planning, research, 3D printing and coordination with Pavle from Deep Sky Dad, today is the day: There we are – up and running!
This is what the first picture looked like (yes, really bad weather…!):
