server crashing on own server install

[mstormi]

I tried to setup an own server on Raspbian (no Docker desired) but came across a number of difficulties.
The installation instruction are pretty sparse. They neither explain the alternatives (make production ?) nor show how to use them.

1. scipy needs to be a recent version. I've created PR make version requirements less strict for scipy to fix build #201 to fix

[ I think I now know it has to see a specific number of measurements
2) Starting in $GOPATH/src/github.com/schollz/find3/server/main, the main server sometimes creates a xxxxxx.sqlite3.db file in data/, but not always ... I only saw it with GPS on and enough samples, but I have not found out what's really needed to make it create it. ]

3. I used http://hostname:port/ in the app (note the trailing slash) from my mobile to be in the same (WiFi) LAN and no proxy inbetween for my testing. The request shows up as

2020-07-08 12:36:42 [INFO] [PID-3137] server.go func1:1360 [2003:ea:a723:ee00:29c0:7b52:f6f3:b3c7]:57116 GET //ws?family=diestorms&device=myprism 10.945µs

Note the two leading slashes.
I think does not work - when I insert a NGINX into the path I can see that find is responding with a 404.

When I remove the trailing slash however, main crashes, giving

4. I cannot access the dashboard. Accessing the web interface via proxy or direct results in a download file that is empty, plus the server giving an error about interface conversion (attached below).
   Seems find3 might be having trouble to convert DNS names or IP addresses ?

What is hostname:port ?

Can you just use localIP:port?

[mstormi]

What is hostname:port ?

a local DNS (resolvable) or IP, I tried both. Port is 8005 (where server is started on).
Below is the log of a fresh start, at 00:35:20 I've started learning on the app, that made it crash.
Now that I was able to reproduce it I believe it was because of file access rights to the DB files in data/*.
Deleted those and started again as root, now it's no longer crashing.

So much for that one, BUT...
... now it's running but does not generating any DB data. I see HTTP requests going only when I start/restart learning via app,
there's no data files to appear in data/*

fixed after reinstall although cannot tell for sure what it was
