Making SignalK server work with externally set password? Per the latest Venus OS beta versions, we’ve added a network security profile setting; which allows securing all local access with a single password. So thats remote console, gui-v2, mqtt (if enabled/needed), and Node-RED is and/or was secured with the same password as well....

Installation question. What determines in what path the plugins get installed? Do they always go in ~/.signalk ?

I have a fresh install of pypilot and SK on RPI. Both seem to be running fine, but I'm not getting pypilot data in SK. When pypilot started, it sent an authentication request to SK, which I approved. However, now it seems to need approval for another connection "ws" (websocket)? When I click on this connection in the SK dashboard it redirects to the Connections page which is blank. Any recommendations? I've attached a screenshot of the dashboard and here's pypilot log: signalk process 989 signalkread token eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.eyJkZXZpY2UiOiJtYXN0Y29tcCIsImlhdCI6MTcyMTU4NDcyMX0.PsfQlKzMnnrGrqX-JFx6TD7epf1W4E7n6nDzWbko9jI signalk server found 127.0.0.1:3000...

This is a Raspberry Pi install. I'm unable to update SignalK from the GUI. I'm currently running 2.3.0 and node is 18.17.1 and npm is 9.8.1. The install shows that it starts but then just ends with failed. ...

Updating offline or metered installation. Perhaps easy for some already, but it would be an interesting feature to have to be able to upload an "update package" for signal k and or plugins that are installed, so that I could potentially download updates to a flash drive on a PC easily connected to the internet and then carry them to a boat that might not have direct internet access. I'm sure there's a way to do it with the package already, but as someone who's not terribly experienced with such things or as experienced with signal k as a developers might be, an easier interface for doing such might be a nice feature in the future....

Wanting to create a gauge with zones in KIP, I see that the electrical resistance unit Ohn is not available in the server metadata. Should it be added? Background: use of the BME680 sensor for a raw measurement of volatile organic compounds VOC (gas detection).

While refreshing my SK boat install, I noticed the following but not sure if it's important:

pi@openplotter:~ $ sudo npm install -g signalk-server
npm warn deprecated [email protected]: This module is not supported, and leaks memory. Do not use it. Check out lru-cache if you want a good and tested way to coalesce async requests by a key value, which is much more comprehensive and powerful.

I've noticed that RMB sentence processing in nmea0183-signalk does not send a delta when the position values are empty. This creates the situation where when a destination was active, and then is cleared (the sentence contains empty fields) no delta is sent and signalk apps are not aware of the change. I would expect that in this case a delta with a null nextPoint value would be sent. I would expect this has probably come up before...but I will ask anyway... Is this by design?...

Signal K server exposes a hard-coded NMEA 2000 serial number of 123456 that is set in canboatjs (lib/candevices.js:65). This prevents multiple SK servers from participating on a single bus. I'd like to make the serial code dynamic - and possibly expose some other parameters such as LEN to SK settings. Ideally, I think the serial code should be per-interface if someone insists on connecting multiple CAN interfaces to the same bus (don't know why anyone would do that, but I've seen weirder stuff happen). Would it be OK if I set the serial code value to the interface uniqueNumber option field value?...

Hi! (here comes some naggy ranting.. please bare with me 🥸 ) Don't know about you guys. But personally I think that the JavaScript popups of the character "are you sure you want..." are pretty annoying... is it possible to give them a timeout or maybe if I could configure them to go away? Developing and testing data connections basically gives double clicks on every step. ...
