Setting up the app on my phone

[Bow3ryList]

So I have managed to setup Owntrack on my Raspberry Pi and log in to the user page. It mentioned in the quick guide that there should be a link at the bottom of the page to allow me to download a "At the bottom of the page is a link you can click on from your Android/iOS device to automatically configure the app" but I can't see any link. Have I done something wrong?

Attached is a photo.

Apologies if I have missed something obvious.

I'm not sure how to get the "/usr/local/owntracks/userdata/*.otrc" from the raspberry pi to my phone

Thanks in advance for your help

have you actually configured users (lowercase username) in configuration.yaml? It doesn't look as though that has happened ... In case of doubt, please double check and rerun ./bootstrap.sh

Okay, I tried again making the username just lowercase and it appears to be working now, although it is showing more devices that I had in the friends list

Are quotation marks needed within the friends list or does it make no difference?

friends:
- { tid: "jj", username: "username1", devicename: "phone1" }
- { tid: "ip", username: "username2", devicename: "phone2"}

Thanks in advance for your help

Glad you're getting it sorted.

In YAML (configuration.yaml is in YAML format) strings need not be quoted, but it's good practice to do so.

If you are seeing more devices on your smartphone, then I assume you're using MQTT with a broker to which other devices have already published data; is that possible?

If it is your broker, respectively if you have authorization to do so you can clear out those old publishes by publishing a retained null value to the appropriate topic.
