Setting up a camera to advertise

I am attempting to set up an "all sky camera" on my system. the computer hosting the camera is 10.18.92.250 and the camera web server is set up for port 8080.
I have port forwarding set to:
WAN   TCP  8080  10.18.92.250  8080

advertising is:
ALL SKY  link check http://W6RYO-RC   :8080

Does this make sense and can someone tell me if it is visible from the WAN

Thanks

No. The link is visible but
No. The link is visible but it only links to your mesh node.
​I believe what you need to do is first make sure you have reserved the DHCP address for the computer hosting the camera and give this computer a host name with this reservation. Then use this hostname in the link. Port forwarding shouldn't be required. Unless I have misunderstood what you are trying to do.
Hope that helps.

By golly I think that did it.
By golly I think that did it. I missed the DHCP and naming reservation.
I should be running showing a 180 degree view of the sky in Alta Loma Cal.
Thanks

I do notice a funny thing.
I do notice a funny thing. Under W6RYO-RC.local.mesh it list both "all sky cam" and "chat". This link does not take me to the camera however if I click "All SKY CAM" under AAAA-server.local.mesh it works.
How do I get rid of those first 2 links?

W6RYO,   I'm looking live
W6RYO,   I'm looking live right now.  Looks good!   Now if all your neighbors would turn off the lights, I might be able to see the stars a bit better in the 360.    Take a look at the service advertisements under setup, there should be a couple to delete for the undesired advertisements from the mesh node directly.    We need to connect up separately and get your firmware version upgraded.
