is it important to enter an UUID in Vessel base data (when not having a MMSI)?
And in that case, why is that?

One should be generated automatically?
At what step?
I’m trying it now
But didnt get generated
Fresh signalk on venus latest beta
Confirmed. I think it happens internally in this case.
Which means it will be different on every startup
So leaving it empty is fine?
Or do I need to add into the docs that people need to enter something there?
(Thats why I’m asking)
And thanks for the quick responses
!
They don’t need to enter anything, but we should probably generate a static one.
The only thing I can think of that it would effect is the signalk-cloud stuff
👍✅
Perhaps replace by “Leave empty unless using Signal K Cloud while not having a MMSI” ?
You could make that signalk cloud a link with target _blank or _new to some place
(Imm not familiar with signalk cloud)
I'd rather generate one on Venus os
and I'd like to hear @Teppo Kurki 's feedback. There may be implications here I am not thinking about...
That uuid is not something people woud type in
looks like "urn:mrn:signalk:uuid:fe4a5666-d1e4-4d5a-a1ee-158237d5e151"
I think the baseDeltas.json , is just a static file we copy in, right? Do we process that file at all on Venus OS?
Still make that sentence change in your code for rpi users?
Generating one on venus os is ok; but hitting standard roadblock: lack of time for me + no other devs familiar with signalk and boating
I’ll make an issue for it though 👍
Yeah, actually, the right thing to do is fix it in the server code. There’s no reason we can’t generate it and persist it.
Make an issue for the server.

If the server never properly sets up the server using signalk-server-setup or by saving vessel identity related setting in the admin UI the generated uuid is never persisted and each time the serve...
