Support for Nightscout 0.9.x

[dhermanns]

This version works fine for me on the nightscout 0.8.x backend.

But using nightscout 0.9.x it seems that the hashing algorithm of the api secret
has been changed to SHA1.

Am I missing something or is 0.9 not supported anymore?

It works for me - after I spotted this in 0.9.x release notes:

_Important Changes to Note (and Troubleshooting)
If you update your site and have trouble getting data from your uploader, you may need to set a variable in your Azure or Heroku settings. A change in Grilled Cheese may affect users of older uploader apps.

Variable to add: AUTH_DEFAULT_ROLES
Setting: readable devicestatus-upload

If you update your site and find that things you have enabled do not show up properly (like boluscalc), check the following:

Make sure you only have ENABLE one time. Just one. (That means just one time in the ENTIRE settings, including both App Settings and Connection Strings.)
If you have ENABLE in Connection Strings, move it to App Settings instead.
As always, if you make any changes to your variables, be sure and save._

Works a treat now.

Great hint. I think this uploader should be enhanced to support the latest nightscout version, but at least this seems to be a workaround!

Thanks for sharing this ;-)

Nightscout versions 0.9.0 and above support both the old-style API KEY authentication, but also a new authentication token system where you can create multiple tokens with different permissions. The above workaround is for clients that don't implement the new token system, which require global permission to uploading treatments to work properly.

The workaround worked for me, too. I added the change to my raspberry docker image:

I'll take a look at this newer API key need, I am working in my own fork of the uploader which I'm happy to share and continue to work with, as this repository seems to have been abandoned.

[dhermanns]

That sounds great. Let me know if I can test a new version!

[nightscout-dl]

I have just published a release from my fork.

This does not fix the need to use the workaround above, but there are a lot of changes in the backend to make maintenance of this project easier.

NOTE: I have enabled logging of internal Logcat messages to help me debug this in day to day use - these are uploaded to app.bugfender.com - if you don't want me to see the log messages from the app, do not install it.

Please feel free to use the release and report any issues direct to my repository.

I've published another big set of changes to this in my fork - and asked for a pull. There is another Release also, looking for feedback if it works.
