Do you have "allow read only access" set in security -> settings?

Aswin - Webapp only getting data when I am logg...

Webapp only getting data when I am logged in to the server. My webapp gets a 401 response on a get request when I am not logged in to the server. Amazingly (to me at least) it does work when I embed my plugin in a @tommy/kip page, even when I am not logged in to the server. I read about Authentication and Session Management in the documentation, but that is way over my head. Is there a simple explanation of what is going on and a simple example on how to deal with this?...

I'm writing a plugin to manage MOBs. Now it registers to vessels.self.notifications.mob, as receive the notification with state: "emergency", it reads data.position and saves it in vessels.self.navigation.mob.position alongside the time of the event in vessels.self.navigation.mob.time. Then it registers to vessels.self.navigation.position, each update it computes: vessels.self.navigation.mob.distance, vessels.self.navigation.mob.headingTrue, vessels.self.navigation.mob.elapsed (in seconds). Opti...

Is there a way to determine the grants of the user opening the webapp?

barnaclebill - Question for @Aswin, although it...

Question for @Aswin, although it might be of general interest: how does your plugin correct for mast height? Are you assuming some wind gradient as the mast gets taller? What is the impact of roll and pitch on wind? Are you calculating that if for example my boat pitches forward at 1m/s (which I know isn't how we calculate pitch but just trying to simplify), you subtract 1m/s from wind speed's forward vector? How about upwash? How does one differentiate leeway calculation from current? If your code is public, I would love to poke around....

How to handle duplicate paths? My advanced wind plugin can correct apparent wind (for leeway, mast height, etc). As a result, the apparent wind path is found twice, although coming from different sources. What is the preferred way to deal with this? Should the plugin always remove the uncorrected delta's, should this be optional, or should the two delta's coexist?

Has anyone gone through the process of migrating from influxdb v1.8 to v2.x? I've got a lot of data in the existing V1.8 database that I would like to bring forward into 2.x. This page looks promising, (https://docs.influxdata.com/influxdb/v2/install/upgrade/v1-to-v2/automatic-upgrade/) but I wonder if anyone here has actually done it and what issues they may have run into.

I published a new plugin that calculates true wind while, optionally, applying corrections for mast rotation, vessel roll and pitch, leeway, upwash and sensor height.

Is there a signalk plugin or button to shutdown the system?

Location of wind sensor. I would like to use the location (espacially heigt above waterline) of the windsensor(s) for wind calibration. I want wind speed calculated to 10 meter above water level to make it directly comparable to wind speed used in polar. I cannot find this information in the keys reference. I found fromBow and fromCenter, but not fromWaterline or similar. Did I overlook something? If not, how can I add this key to the keys?

I've lost sun & moon times, sure there was an app to add sun/moon rise & sets times etc, can't find it now 🤔

async restart

2) I got the impression that when submitting changes through the plugin config that the plugin can restart while it has not jet finished stopping. Can this be true? Can I prevent this?

More questions on my nmea-streamer plugin. So I got my plugin working and I added a nice webapp to control the behaviour of the plugin. Along the way I got some questions.

When I create a new plugin, what is the best file location to do so? I am a bit confused where to place my nodejs plugin, can I use any directory or is it better to use a subdirectory of .signalk? (I use windows 11 if that matters)
