Lose my ftp-settings.sh and remote_configuration.json

[TeamFairlights]

Hello all,

please help. I lose my ftp-settings.sh and remote_configuration.json.
Allsky says: WARNUNG: „/home/pi/allsky/config/remote_configuration.json“ kann nicht verarbeitet werden.
Syntaxfehler,
fehlerhafte JSON-Zeichenfolge, weder Array, Objekt, Zahl, Zeichenfolge noch Atom, bei Zeichenoffset 3 (vor „(Ende der Zeichenfolge)“) in /usr/bin/json_pp Zeile 59.

Greetings,
Andy

@TeamFairlights, please attach, don't copy/paste, your /home/pi/allsky/config/remote_configuration.json file. It found a problem on the 3rd character in the file - ignore Zeile 59, which is incorrect.
I suspect it's a DOS-mode file, not a Linux-mode file.

Have anyone the original Files and set it's here in this Tread? Than i can copy this in my Files!
Many thanks,
Andy

Your remote server should have it. Look in the root directory for configuration.json and copy it to your Pi in ~/allsky/config/remote_configuration.json

You shouldn't need to change anything.

I found the following bit of info on the Allsky Document:
https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AllskyTeam/allsky/master/html/documentation/installations/AllskyWebsite.html,

If you also have an Allsky Website on your Pi, the remote configuration file will be identical to the local one with the exception of the imageName and onPi settings, which will be configured for a remote Website

Maybe you can re-create the remote_configration.json from this local one??

Hello peng155,

thank you for this.
Have you the ftp-config.sh for me without your personell data?
Thats were great!

Greetings,
Andy

@TeamFairlights
Do you mean ftp-settings.sh??
You should be able to find that file at ~/allsky/config on the local Pi also

[TeamFairlights]

What I keep trying to explain is:
My file ftp-settings.sh is empty, there is nothing in it!
And unfortunately I don't know off the top of my head what I have to enter there!
Who can send me an ftp-settings.sh?
Of course WITHOUT his personal access data!

Or can it be restored somehow?

@TeamFairlights
Here is a copy of the ftp-setting.sh file off of my test system, you will need to change the file extension from .txt to .sh
ftp-settings.txt

[TeamFairlights]

Thank you very much for you peng155!

@TeamFairlights,
the ~/allsky/config_repo directory has templates of configuration files like configuration.json.repo and ftp-setting.sh.repo. To restore a file you can do something like:

cd ~/allsky
cp config_repo/ftp-settings.sh.repo  config/ftp-settings.sh

then edit the new file as normal.

The Settings --> Allsky Website documentation page gives examples of what to put in the ftp-settings.sh file - see the end of the "ftp-setting.sh file" section.

Hello Eric,
I can't say how glad I am to have people like you to help me!

[TeamFairlights]

can i repair also the remote_configuration.json ?

[EricClaeys]

@TeamFairlights, Andy, did you try downloading the configuration.json file from the remote server as I explained in a prior post?

If that file was also empty, execute:

cd ~/allsky
cp config_repo/configuration.json.repo  config/remote_configuration.json

You will then need to edit remote_configuration.json

[TeamFairlights]

But I still have this message:
WARNING: Unable to process /home/pi/allsky/config/remote_configuration.json.
syntax error,
Bad JSON string, neither array, object, number, signed nor atom, at character offset 3 (before "(end of string)") in /usr/bin/json_pp line 59.

What can i do?
I'am a Nerd?
