Hi, I think the website is down…
Anyone the same Problem

Yes, the US Naval Obvservatory api that supplies the images is down. This happened once before and I’ve included a temporary fix MMM-Lunartic.js file in the repo for just such an occasion. Rename your current MMM-Lunartic.js file to MMM-Lunartic.bak and copy the file from the temporary fix folder and paste it at the root of the MMM-Lunartic folder. Run your mirror.

I will notify when the api is up. It might be April before that happens but the module will work as expected.

The module works with the fix I’ve provided. You won’t notice the difference, but yes, the USNO api is undergoing maintenance and has set that date for its completion.

So you just pulled the static images from that USNO site and have them stored locally on the Pi. Then just call each static image as the phases of the moon change. Correct? With this approach it hardly seems like we are missing anything by not connecting to the USNO site and downloading them.

Visually, you’re not missing much. There is not a static image for every percentage of illumination, whether waxing or waning but it will do for now. However, I like knowing that the images are the most recent even though you can’t see a difference. When the API resumes, I’ll switch back. The fix will always be available. You can continue to use it even when the API resumes.
