Expose AIS Catcher map to internet

[MrPe10]

Hi all,

I've recently got AIS Catcher up and running on a Pi4, It an amzingly slick and professional piece of software. Kudos to the developer.
I have multiple AIS streams feeding my Pi plus I have got a combined feed of ADSB including MLAT data displayed on the map also. It really is excellent.

I attempted to expose my AIScatcher to the internet so I could share it with friends, I got the login and control GUI working behind cloudflare without issue but if I click on webviewer the map doesn't display.

I'm sure plenty of you have been through this before, i'd be grateful if someone could give me some pointers as to what I may have done wrong.

Thanks!

Hey, thanks!

So, you have the webviewer working, it sounds. The control tool typically runs on 8110. Assume yoyu have the webviewer on 8100 ? Perhaps try a different port. Is there any error message you get when accessing the webviewer via cloudflare?

Hi, Thanks for the quick reply.

I've reverted to a backup just to have a clean start on getting this working. Yes all working fine on LAN - http://192.168.178.153:8110/webviewer

When installed cloudflared I configured the config.yml as such
tunnel: YOUR_TUNNEL_ID
credentials-file: /home/pi/.cloudflared/YOUR_TUNNEL_ID.json

ingress:
- hostname: your-subdomain.yourdomain.com
service: http://localhost:8110
- service: http_status:404

When I connected to my domain I got the usual AIS Catcher login screen and was able to login etc, the only thing that was't working was when I clicked on webviewer menu button.

For my understanding, why don't you link to the real webviewer address directly http://192.168.178.153:8100 ?

I'll recreate the tunnell and give that a go now 👍

That worked. Thank you so much for your help and for this excellent software
