Activating of ODM (node)

Please could you give an advice how to activate node for working? Which IP should I set? nothing works. Still “node-odm-1 seems to be offline.”
Thanks

  2. Hardware Specifications
    eg: 32GB RAM, i7-6700k, NVIDIA GTX 1050TI OC, 1TB SSD, etc…
  3. WebODM Install Method
    eg: Native installer, Docker, Snap, GitHub download, compiled from source
  4. WebODM/ODM Version
    eg: WebODM v1.9.14 Build 64, ODM v2.8.7, etc…
  5. Procesing Node

Can you check how docker named your WebODM node? Sometimes its different than what its on WebODM node settings page.
Its where containers are listed.

Are you trying to get access to that node from another computer?

I have no idea, I don’t understand. I just followed the instructions (https://docs.opendronemap.org/) and got here. I don’t know anymore. I only have one computer and nothing else and wanted to try some orthomap software. Unfortunately, I find that I can’t handle such complicated software because I don’t understand these settings at all.

It can be overwhelimg when you’re starting out, but if you have the time and patience, folks here are willing to help.

A potential option if you don’t want to mess with the Docker method on Windows would be the Easy Installers that UAV4Geo (my employer) sells, for exactly this reason:

Did you catch this note in the docs or in the console?:

NOTE: Windows users using docker should replace localhost with the IP of their docker machine's IP. To find what that is, run: docker-machine ip

That is a critical step to connecting to your local processing node. Your port should be, by default, 3000.

So in one of the images above, you ended the IP for the node with /24. I’m not sure that is right, Having the output of the docker-machine ip (or docker ps while everything is running) will help us debug what’s going on.

thank you very much for the information. I tried to verify the IP but it still says: “node-odm-1 appears to be offline”

Below is the screen where I get the IP from:

I don’t know where to find another correct IP.

You’ll need to run the commands listed above in your cmd or Windows Terminal.

unfortunately the command doesn’t work

Can you please try the other command I suggested when Docker is running and the containers are up after you issue webodm.sh start

Hey there! Here are a couple more things to take a look at:

  • Have you checked in PS (PowerShell)?
  • Also, if you’re using docker in WSL, make sure to check its specific shell.

Do you know how to use the CD command to change directories?

You’ll need to run the webodm.sh start command from the directory in which you downloaded WebODM from GitHub.

You need to use a “./” before the command, so it looks like “./webodm.sh start”

it’s a linux shell command, not a windows executable
