The frequency of upload the extra file ?

[Frankastro85]

Hello,
I use a file.txt on my Raspberry to have the temperature, wind, etc. from Openweathermap and a DTH22.
I use this line to setup the path :

To show this configuration :

But I don't know the frequency of update to the web ?
I update my file each 60s on my RPI. Is-it possible to manage the frequency of upload on the web ?
The Max Age Of Extra is only to have a time of display ? It's not the time of update ?
Thank you,
Frank

@Frankastro85 By default every image is uploaded to your website if you have IMG_UPLOAD="true" in config/config.sh.
If you want to decrease the upload frequency, set IMG_UPLOAD_FREQUENCY to a higher number. We added IMG_UPLOAD_FREQUENCY because some people's network cost money per MB so they want to limit the data going over the network.

The Delay variables in the WebUI determine how long to wait between pictures. You can shorten this but you'll get more pictures which take more disk space. People that look for meteors tend to use a delay of 10 or another very small number.

The "Max Age of Extra" tells Allsky how "new" the file must be in order to use its contents. For example, let's assume your program stops running. At some point you probably want to ignore the "Extra" file, otherwise you'll be displaying really old data. With a "Max Age" of 600 (10 minutes), if they file is older than 10 minutes it'll be ignored.

Make sense?

Hi @EricClaeys,
Thank you so much for these explications !
All was clear about the pictures. My problem was only the update of the file.txt on the website.
On my RPI, I use always the same name of file.txt and I update the text each 5 minutes. I didn't know if the file.txt was upload at the same time on the website. I have tried this night and all is perfect. And your information has confirmed that.
Thanks!
Frank.
Ps. I hope you're understand my English...
