OHB is and always will be free to use and download.
OHB serves data from its own internal services, not from Clear Sky Institute.
Each supporting file type has a data generation script. These scripts operate on a schedule that is defined in a crontab. The crontab has been specifically tuned to match as close as possible the original ClearSkyInstitute data generation times and be friendly to CPU/MEM on the host.
Installers are used to setup, configure and install OHB. We recommend the container-based install as the simplest path go get OHB up and running. See here for install steps
These are replaced dynamically in the background on the target host per the baselined crontab.

These are endpoints that dynamically return data based on query parameters to the Perl scripts. Query parameters can be 0..Many.

HamClocks check with the backend for new HamClock versions. When available they attempt to pull the source zip file from the backend to upgrade themselves.
- Upgrades to the latest released HamClock version are supported from v1.0.5. The source file comes from https://github.com/openhamclock/hamclock releases.
ESP8266-based devices use an older API (some URLs are different) and need a binary for upgrades rather than source.
- ESP8266-based devices are supported from v1.0.11.
