Opencpn via noVNC and stream gpsd

[sciuipis]

I have installed gpsd on a raspberry 2 on boat, configured to sent stream outside.
On my public server I installed openCPN inside a docker container, connected to gpsd. It works fine:

OpenCPN Cartografico | HouseNaos

but I have a problem. If the network connection between the server with GPSD and the client with opencpn stops even for a few minutes, when the network connection is restored the connection between gpsd and opencpn does not restart. To restore everything I need to restart opencpn or reconfigure the connection with gpsd inside opencpn.

thanks,
stefano

Did you try gpsd -n option ?

opencpn in a container ...Docker ? how do you access opencpn UI, via remode dektop on container ip ?

Yes. I started a docker container with this process:

and configured opencpn to connect via gpsd to my boat (over openVPN). Now I try with gpsd -n but it does not work anymore.
