[Solved] Dashticz timeout errors to connect to webpage

[darrepac]

Hi

I am jumping into the dashticz world. I have domoticz running (since 7 years!) on Rasperry Pi and has installed (automatic install) Dashticz onto an other Raspberry with a screen attached (both are on the same lan).
Install is ok but when I try to connect on Dashticz, 9 times over 10 it failed with timeout or 404 errors. Even when it succeeds, there are some errors in the console.
Any hint?

When it "works":

When it fails:

or:

I did a manual setup using Apache instead of Nginx: it works like a charm!
So seems the problem come from nginx... if it helps others....

Thanks for the feedback. Good to hear it's working now!

Sorry for the late reply, but I don't think nginx is the problem, I use it to do the same job and act as a proxy as well. I did find that Chromium was very picky about what it would accept, and had to use several command line switches to get it to run properly with nginx, I see autoplay errors in those Inspect messages. Now why Apache works better for you…who knows.

My Chromium switches (in Kiosk mode):

chromium-browser --autoplay-policy=no-user-gesture-required --disable-field-trial-config --disable-application-cache --disable-cache --disable-direct-composition --noerrdialogs --incognito --disable-infobars --kiosk $KIOSK_URL --check-for-update-interval=31536000

And I used some chrome://flags as well!

Well, I still need to hit 3-4 times F5 to get it working at launch! timeout error, timeout error... when you know that it is local install, crazy!
