pyindi-ws : Python webserver for Indi

pyindi-ws is a simple webserver that presents an Indi client interface in a browser. It is based on pyindi-client for the Indi side and on cherrypy and ws4py for the websocket side.

Install and run the webserver

• First install the requirements (besides Python and Indi):

pip3 install --user pyindi-client
pip3 install --user cherrypy
pip3 install --user ws4py

• download an archive or clone the repository
• run the server from the directory where you cloned/downloaded the repository

python3 indi_simple_html_cherrypy_server.py

• you can run a browser and connect to localhost:9000

Here are some screenschots: the simple (and unique) html page

and the part with a fits image displayed with astroview js plugin

A small note (for myself):

To run gsc from a custom directory, use the following shell script:

export GSCBIN=/opt/gsc/bin
export GSCDAT=/opt/gsc/
/opt/gsc/src/gsc.exe $@

Chmod 755 and Copy it to /usr/bin/gsc. If you recompile gsc from source:

cd /opt/gsc/bin
mv gsc.exe gsc.exe.orig
mv decode.exe decode.exe.orig
ln -s /opt/gsc/src/gsc.exe .
ln -s /opt/gsc/src/decode.exe .
