Feature-Request: Enhanced Server Status Report

Server Online Indicator

We could add some indicator that the server is online.
This could easily be implemented on the server side via the addition of a new HTTP endpoint, which the uploader queries.

Progress Report

While the UI currently reports the status of the upload, it does not report processing progress. It merely states: processing started ... you will get an email soon. Then you will eventually get a mail or not.

This has happened to myself in 2/4 times so far highlights the need for more verbose logging, which would help the user to be more confident in the process and ease debugging.

As for implementation of the processing status report, this would likely require substantially more work because of the need for a two way client-server communication for which a web socket would likely be better suited.

We plan to fully rebuild the overall cloud functionality and endpoints. the current solution is quite limited and we definitely need some more endpoints. We would also like to open-source as much as possible. The current solution requires dedicated hardware, which is not an option for most users, but in the process of re-building the endpoints, we would also like to rework and publich the cloud workers code, so that users can input there local photogrammetry CLI tool accordingly.. But at the moment, I can not give an exact timeline as we are currently focused on the firmware (openscan3)

For now, I have added two new endpoints:

/status

and

/getQueueEstimate

Furthermore, you can query the /getProjectInfo endpoint to monitor the process (though the detail level of the response is not very granular)

Hey, great to see the suggested additions implemented so quickly - Thanks!

I will incorporate it into the uploader asap.
