Docker & version/build Fails
by Kin 09 Feb '26

09 Feb '26

Hi, Many of those using Docker for their DXSpider are not displaying version or build information. The problem is that they aren't including the git package installation in their build file (Dockerfile). It's important that the structure created in the container image contains the .git directory, because the version/build data is obtained from there.

Maintenance recommendations (III)
by Kin 07 Feb '26

07 Feb '26

Hi all, For those who don’t really like the old, “archaic” list-based view, I’ve updated the JavaScript of my network map, after a bit of a struggle 😅, and added a new visual option called “Links DOWN”. This view allows you to see, in real time, the status of links that are failing or not updating their state properly. Please note that this map is entirely based on the information provided by PC92 messages. You can check it here: https://clustermap.cronux.net/map.html I hope you find it useful. Kin EA3CV

cannot open /spider/data/dupefile
by Gabriel - EA6VQ 03 Feb '26

03 Feb '26

Since yesterday DXspider is not starting. I shows the message "cannot open /spider/data/dupefile" and the process ends. I confirm that there is no file "/spider/data/dupefile", so according to the documentation the file should be created in the DXDupe.pm module. BTW, this instance of DXspider is running on Windows. It was working fine until yesterday. It is not an issue with folder permissions. I have already confirmed that. I don't know what to do next.... I would appreciate your help. Thanks in advance. -- /*73. Gabriel - EA6VQ*/ /* */
