Reset Configuration to Defaults

Use these instructions to revert all camera configurations to their default initial values.

Method 1: Debian Package Installations (indi-allsky-ctl — Recommended)

On installations managed via the .deb package / APT repository, you can reset configuration directly:

1. Stop services:

   sudo systemctl stop indi-allsky.service gunicorn-indi-allsky.service
   

2. (Optional) Backup active configuration:

   indi-allsky-ctl dump-config > indi_allsky_config_$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S).json
   

3. Reset configuration to defaults:

   sudo indi-allsky-ctl reset-config
   

   (Direct CLI alternative without indi-allsky-ctl: /var/lib/indi-allsky/venv/bin/python /usr/share/indi-allsky/config.py flush --force && /var/lib/indi-allsky/venv/bin/python /usr/share/indi-allsky/config.py bootstrap)

4. Restart services:

   sudo systemctl start indi-allsky.service gunicorn-indi-allsky.service

Method 2: Git / Source Installations

1. Stop services:

   systemctl --user stop indi-allsky
   systemctl --user stop gunicorn-indi-allsky
   

2. Activate the Python virtual environment:

   source virtualenv/indi-allsky/bin/activate
   

3. (Optional) Backup active configuration:

   ./config.py dump > indi_allsky_config_$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S).json
   

4. Flush and bootstrap initial configuration:

   ./config.py flush --force
   ./config.py bootstrap
   

5. Restart services:

   systemctl --user start gunicorn-indi-allsky
   systemctl --user start indi-allsky
