Install, Test, and Debug Current DXDashboard on W3USR System

[w2naf]

Description

Install the current version of the DXDashboard (this repo) on the W3USR system and get it running against the live WSPRDaemon MongoDB database. The current codebase was refactored by AI without testing against a live system, so it is likely to have issues that need to be identified and fixed.

Blocked By

• Set-Up and Install the W3USR WSPRDaemon System #30 — Set-Up and Install the W3USR WSPRDaemon System (WSPRDaemon must be running and populating MongoDB before the dashboard can be tested)

Tasks

• Clone the repository onto the W3USR server
• Set up Python virtual environment and install dependencies (requirements.txt)
• Configure .env file with W3USR MongoDB credentials
• Start the Flask development server (python web-ft.py)
• Test the /spots and /tbspots API endpoints for valid data
• Test map view (/map) — verify spots render on map with markers and polylines
• Test table view (/table) — verify regional aggregation displays correctly
• Test combined view (/) — verify both map and table load together
• Test all filtering controls (band, country, continent, CQ zone, ITU zone, mode, time)
• Document all bugs and failures encountered
• Fix or file issues for each bug found

Acceptance Criteria

• DXDashboard is running on the W3USR system against live WSPRDaemon data
• All three views (map, table, combined) render correctly
• API endpoints return valid spot data
• All critical bugs identified and documented
