Docker container does not support OpenCage about docker-recorder

[jpmens]

I am closing this, because the new Docker image supports OpenCAGE, but be warned: we no longer come bundled with an MQTT broker. The README in this repository explains how to run with docker-compose.

There is a Stretch Debian package for lua-cjson which we can probably use instead of compiling from sources. (https://packages.debian.org/stretch/lua-cjson) I can't test this atm, so could you please check if installing this package solves the issue? Thanks

There is a package. I can not yet confirm, that it really works, because I have an issue with opencage.lua script I need to figure out first.

[frootmig]

I was able to isolate the problem with the lua script. os.getenv("OPENCAGE_APIKEY") returns nil. In fact, no variable listed in ot-recorder.default and recognized in Recorder is passed to the script. Is this expected to work?

[jpmens]

What are you doing with Lua?

The Recorder by default (if configured and built appropriately) uses OpenCage via geo.c which is triggered by a prefix of opencage: in the Geo API key.

The Lua file you mention is just there for demo purposes.

If was trying to follow this guide: https://github.com/owntracks/recorder/blob/master/doc/OPENCAGE.md

[jpmens]

Ok, yes, I think we need to change that text.

Please look for --geokey in the top-level README of the Recorder.

It seems to work that way, at least, I can no longer see error messages in the log.

Would lua support for the dockerized recorder be usefull? If yes, I can provide a pull request to add this support. If no, I think I can just revert my changes.

I still need to figure out why it's not possible to use traefik as reverse proxy and how configure Owntracks on iOS to not eat all of my batterie. But that's another question.

[jpmens]

Lua is useful because Recorder can use Lua scripts on demand.

[jpmens]

OwnTracks on iOS doesn't typically eat battery. I assume you have move mode configured. In either case open an issue on our iOS tracker please.

Thank you very much @jpmens. I migrated everything to the new container and it seems to work like a charm now.
