Retrieve image for MQTT when annotations are disabled

[melvinraju]

I'm trying to send the detected image to a google home hub over MQTT/Node-Red but found that they can only be accessed if annotations are turned on? Can there be a separate web server for which non-annotated trigger images are sent?

Set enableWebServer to true in settings.json (see https://github.com/danecreekphotography/node-deepstackai-trigger/wiki/Configuration#system-configuration).

Then the original images are available at http://machineaddress/snapshots/originalfilename.jpg.

[melvinraju]

Thanks!

[neilenns]

Small correction: they're accessible at http://machineaddress:4242

[melvinraju]

Having problems accessing this.

Using:
http://localhost:4242/FD_13-14-49_copy_8.jpg - Returns the annotated image
http://localhost:4242/annotations/FD_13-14-49_copy_8.jpg -Returns the annotated image
http://localhost:4242/snapshots/FD_13-14-49_copy_8.jpg -Returns Cannot GET /snapshots/FD_13-14-49_copy_8.jpg

Mmmm, yeah. Looks like there's a bug. I'll get one open and fix it tonight.

#351

[neilenns]

Sooooooooooooooooooooo it's not really a bug. It's an "oh you dummy you never actually implemented that" 😂 Will close the bug and use this to track since it's an actual feature enhancement at this point.

[neilenns]

This is ready for you to try @melvinraju. Use danecreekphotography/node-deepstackai-trigger:issue350 for the Docker image and http://localhost:4242/originals/FD_13-14-49_copy_8.jpg for the image. Let me know if it works.

[melvinraju]

This is working perfectly 🚀 Am I right in thinking these images are removed with the routine purge?

[neilenns]

Yep. You can control how often the purge runs and how old an image has to be before it is removed with the settings.json file. https://github.com/danecreekphotography/node-deepstackai-trigger/wiki/Configuration#system-configuration

[neilenns]

This is now released, you can switch back to using the latest image tag.

[melvinraju]

hey @danecreekphotography can you check if this is working for you? i havent used it in a while and have tried recently and am getting a Cannot GET error again when using http://localhost:4242/originals/FD_1.jpg

[neilenns]

Mmm, weird. I'm getting a GET error too. I'll look later today!

[neilenns]

So I'm not entirely sure what's going on but can you try restarting the container and see if that makes future images show up? It's working for me now.

If you have the problem again try opening a terminal to the container using Docker and do ls /node-deepstackai-trigger/originals to see if the images are there.

[melvinraju]

Tried restarting the container and error persists.
When I do just ls /node-deepstackai-trigger it comes up with two folders annotations and snapshots no originals folder.

[melvinraju]

Just did a docker-compose pull and has now updated to have the originals folder. I can see the images now!
