INDIGO Server overview

INDIGO Server is a server part of INDIGO framework wrapped into macOS GUI. It is INDIGO based replacement for INDI Server for OSX.

Even if it can be used separately, it are meant to work together and with other astronomy and astrophotography tools for macOS or iOS provided by CloudMakers and other vendors, like AstroImager, AstroGuider, AstroDSLR, AstroTelescope, INDIGO Control Panel, FITS Preview, iINDI or NightSky Toolbox, etc.

It can control many devices supported by built-in INDIGO drivers. Out-of-the-box it contains INDIGO drivers for the following devices:

What's new in version 3.12

What's new in version 3.10

What's new in version 3.9

What's new in version 3.8

What's new in version 3.6

Please note, that INDIGO Server contains many INDIGO drivers, but none of them is loaded by default. To enable the driver you actually need, select it on Preferences → INDIGO Drivers pane. You may need to scroll down to find some of them.

Initial setup and preferences

When INDIGO Server is started for the first time, preferences panel is shown.

Port number, Bonjour service name and Bonjour service type are parameters for configuration of internal INDIGO server. Do not change them unless you understand how INDIGO works. If something will go wrong you can try to set Log level to debug or trace to see more verbose output from INDIGO framework.

Main window

In the main window you can manage all properties of all devices hosted by local INDIGO bus.

To change property, navigate in device / Group / Property tree, enter new values of the items (changed values became red) and click Set.

If you want INDIGO client to use changed values on the next start, save configuration in "Configuration control" property in "Main" group of the device. You can also set particular profile in "Profile selection" property first.

Please note, that main window can be used only to control local devices. To access remote devices you need full featured INDIGO Control panel.
