Having trouble with self care and (or?) the API
« on: January 17, 2021, 07:48:13 am »
Hey folks. I've configured a pi-star hotspot this morning, but no matter what I try, I can't get the hotspot to show up in Self Care - and I think, relatedly, I get 404s from the API using my ID.

If I call just the API endpoint for sessions, I see the same as self care, no active sessions from this IP:

Code: [Select]
{
  "sessions": []
}

First off, the hotspot and my computer are definitely on the same network and are definitely connecting from the same IP.

I've had the same problem if I configure TGIF as the primary DMR connection, or if I use it as a secondary network with DMR Gateway. So I don't think I'm messing up any of the standard settings.

Everything "works", in so much as I can dial up 777 and start listening on the firehose, and I can key up properly in talkgroups.

The various API command buttons in PiStar return "not found", and I get 404s if I try hitting the API for my repeater ID.

As I say, I can control things from the radio properly and everything seems to "work", I just don't see the hotspot in Self Care and I can't control it via the API - I suspect the two things are related.

Appreciate any assistance!

Edit: Just found this thread, it looks like it may be a general problem occasionally? Dunno how I didn't find it on my search, https://tgifnetwork.createaforum.com/report-networksystem-issues/self-care-not-working/

Exactly.  The self-care routines are NOT operating in a stable fashion right now.  Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't.

In addition, the developers are concentrating on finishing/debugging the code for the new Prime server now.  So, self-care on the current (legacy) server will likely NOT improve.  That's the bad news.

The good news is that the self-care code on the new Prime server is...stable and (IMHO) SWEET!

So, my advice to you and others having problems with the current API and/or self-care is this: Relax, don't sweat it, and wait.  Once the switch to the new server happens, your current troubles with self-care and/or the API will be gone.

Thanks Joe. Happy to wait for the prime time ;) I was more concerned I was doing something wrong, but it appears not.

Thanks again.
