a reverse or a link to return

I think it is not a good idea to add dashboard link on field and other entities location. Browser back button works on this scenario.

JeeLet

the idea was to stay in the MyController application.

But yes, using the browser backspace is a solution.

... yes it is very easy for me to say, do this do that when I am in my Hammock

It is not like that. When we collaborate tougher we will get a great product at the end. You have given lot of awesome ideas and most of them implemented. But all the ideas not always win. It is easy to implement a link on other entities to dashboard. But I am afraid. It may pollute other pages. I will keep this in mind and if possible I will implement this in different way. Your ideas are always welcome!

JeeLet

Thank you for your philosophy, I am less bothered.

so I keep asking questions

the image panel widget has 3 types:

Field (test)
URL (test)
Disk /??)

I tested with an image, png or jpeg format, large and small format, but nothing.

in Location there is : /home/toto/image/sablineigem.png

this function is for What ????

and a local webcam is possible ???

What do you have configured on the mycontroller.yaml in directories in secure_share and insecure_share,

directories:
  data: /mc_home/data
  logs: /mc_home/logs
  tmp: /mc_home/tmp
  secure_share: /mc_home/secure_share 
  insecure_share: /mc_home/insecure_share

insecure_share - works without login
secure_share - works on logged in session
I would recommend to go with secure_share in most of the cases.

Usage example based on the above configuration:

I have put an image in /mc_home/secure_share/toto/image/sablineigem.png
In dashboard I can access as follows, /secure_share/toto/image/sablineigem.png

The same way for insecure_share can be added in dashboard. in addition insecure share can be accessible outside dashboard like this,

/mc_home/insecure_share/toto/image/sablineigem.png >> http://localhost:8080/insecure_share/toto/image/sablineigem.png

JeeLet

this does not work

with user root , create directory /image
in /opt/apps/mycontroller/mc_home/secure_share/image
with the images in it
(small and big size and .png .jpg .gif)

I tried adding in mycontroller.yaml

directories:
  data: mc_home/data
  logs: mc_home/logs
  tmp: mc_home/tmp
  secure_share: mc_home/secure_share
  insecure_share: mc_home/insecure_share
  image: mc_home/secure_share/image

I restarted MyC ..... and still nothing

I let the cake cool down and come back later

Well, that's okay, we'll just put it aside.
We'll see later.

I will probably do a new installation.
I'm testing tomorrow a webcam and mjpg-streamer

merci jkandasa

@JeeLet I think I found the issue in your setup
move the mycontroller/mc_home into mycontroller/executable/mc_home

your files should be under mycontroller/executable/mc_home/secure_share or mycontroller/executable/mc_home/insecure_share

JeeLet

I would say only one thing
BRAVO

a question: what software do you use for the graphic "architecture.png" ??

JeeLet

so this part is not good ???
Re : Armbian - MyC V2 - install

create directories to keep image files to show it MyController dashboard
	sudo mkdir -p /opt/apps/mycontroller/mc_home/secure_share
	sudo mkdir -p /opt/apps/mycontroller/mc_home/insecure_share

jkandasa

@JeeLet said in miscellaneous question:

Yes, should be as follows,

sudo mkdir -p /opt/apps/mycontroller/executable/mc_home/secure_share
sudo mkdir -p /opt/apps/mycontroller/executable/mc_home/insecure_share

To avoid all the confusions, I would say, You can keep everything inside mycontroller directory. Not in mycontroller/executable

@JeeLet said in miscellaneous question:

I use google doc and insert "drawing" download as png

JeeLet

a test with LibreOffice Draw

Loo Draw

JeeLet

for a clearer view of the state, a mental comfort.
on which scale we are ?

yes one more thing can be possible

pdf vue

jkandasa

@JeeLet I will check the possibilities on the chart. to track this I have added GH issue: https://github.com/mycontroller-org/console-web/issues/15

JeeLet

on the drawing I forgot to put also the
start/end the mini/maxi 0/50
