Ahh yes, thank you, that is the problem. I am rebuilding the 'astrometrynet/latest' image...
Okay, I pushed a new astrometrynet/latest Dockerhub image -- can you please try again?
Works like a charm! Thank you. And one more 'general' question:
Is this possible to work with .FITS
files with Astrometry.net, just using Docker? I am really hard stuck with local Astrometry.net configuration and I am trying to migrate to Docker. What do you think about this idea? Maybe you could help me with my no kdtree header
issue? I can tell.
Yes, fits files should work fine.
And sure, I can try to help with the local Astrometry.net config issue you're having.
OK. Starting this up on my Linux-Mint-20. I have a local copy of all .fits file listed in this URL - broiler.astrometry.net/~dstn/4200/
mir@miron:/usr/local/astrometry/data
/usr/local/astrometry/
/usr/local/astrometry/etc/astrometry.cfg
Its content:
add_path /home/mir/Desktop/data
add_path /usr/local/astrometry/data
autoindex
# when i add anything here it seems to meet no change
.FITS
files:mir@miron:/usr/local/astrometry/data$
solve-field --no-plots -v --overwrite --dir out index-4203-26.fits
(not xyls because: Missing required columns: X, Y)

I tried a lot of FITS files, installed prerequisites like: netpbm, cfitsio ... Can we do ?
Thank you very much for your time, Miron
sorry for edits
Hi,
If you have all the index-*.fits files in /usr/local/astrometry/data, then remove the "add_path /home/mir/Desktop/data" line from the config file.
The config file only points to index files, NOT to images you are going to solve.

Oh, and don't put any other FITS files in the /usr/local/astrometry/data directory. That is, don't mix index files with your FITS images you are trying to solve. That is confusing solve-field.

So what is the difference between index files
and FITS images
? What is the purpose of index file
? Does the program search for FITS image
using indexes
? Because indexes
seems to be FITS images
metadata.
astrometry.cfg
add_path /home/mir/Desktop/data
autoindex
So when i run solve-field
, autoindex
automatically makes indexes for all files in .../data
directory? Does it happen everytime or indexes are created just once; one index for every single FITS image
? Then where are they stored and the most mysterious question: Is the argument of solve-field
an index
or FITS image
? Does the FITS image
need to be indexed?
Studying more about indexing overall.

I mean if you could give any example of proper usage, we would be good to go! Instructions in http://astrometry.net/doc/readme.html are unclear to me, especially the usage section - demo examples.
Hi,
The index-*.fits files are pre-computed maps of the sky. They are not images, they are data files.
They go in /usr/local/astrometry/data
Nothing else goes in /usr/local/astrometry/data
You tell the solve-field command about those files by listing that directory in the astrometry.cfg file.
When you have a new image to solve -- a JPEG or FITS image -- that is what you pass to the solve-field command.
cheers, --dustin
OK. What I did not know was: a group of index file is kind of database that stores 'exemplary' or 'near exemplary', 'ideal' examples of stars and whenever you run solve-field
those index files are being searched for astrological dependencies such as: triangles, magnitudes, brightness, centroids etc...
argument of solve-field
is simply eg. .FITS
. file that is filtered through different criterias comparing to every single index file
and overall, we are given the name of an index file
, which fits the best. Those on your site are just examples, but the bigger and more reliable the database, the better the solution.
By the way, if anybody works only via docker using astrometry.net, try to take some time and show your workgin examples, here.
Thank you very much for your help Dustin, also I was really surprised with your very fast replies. No more questions from me at the moment.

Hello. This sem to be my first post. Sorry if I am in a wrong place, but I find it less chaotic than creating new issue. Since I could not find any solution in opened or closed issues. Is this possible to work with Astrometry.net using only Docker?
Whenever i build docker webservice from 'docker' directory - https://github.com/dstndstn/astrometry.net/tree/main/docker/webservice
In Step 11/14: RUN git stash && git pull I get exit code not equal to zero which is bad. Output:
I feel like this can be github main/master naming issue. Are we able to do anything? Maybe there could be simple workaround?
Thank you, Miron
