I am having only limited success configuring the Debian webcamd
package.
I wish to display images from a Logitech web cam pointing out the
window as a weathercam, uploading a new image about once a minute. I
plan to upload the images to a subdirectory "webcam" of my weather
website, www.example-weather.org/webcam.
I am running Debian 11; but I also have machines running Debian 10 and
Debian
9.
I would like first to get things running in Apache on localhost before
uploading to a shared host on hostgator.com. Ideally, the image would
be on both.
The example webcamd.conf calls for a font named "clean" to write dates
on the pictures, but "fc-list" does not show "clean" installed. I
have tried to specify "Monospace Regular" but that does not seem to
work.
My latest effort has the index_up.html and index_down.hthl displaying,
but no photo. I also had the photo displaying without a date.
Is there a webcam application more suitable for this application?
