(Get the code!)
Hah, I have found the rts2 wiki, and rts2-user -a <name>, finally. I still would like to find a complete beginner's guide to RTS2: When to use Linux user account, Database user name (and what to do as root, what as postgres, what as regular user -- I can have 20 years of Linux experience, never used postgresql!), rts2 user name. Basically an advanced amateur's guide to building a remote robotic observatory with RTS2, is there something available? (May be some affordable print-on-demand book, or even a €15 PDF to download a current doc (this may give you some gratification), it would just have to be complete and correct.) RTS2 seems very complete, but the settings overwhelm me.
Now I have connection, and messages in log.txt like
request url: "http://
TelescopeRTS2 error QNetworkReply:
TelescopeRTS2 object false "no error occurred" 0 120 0
TelescopeRTS2 RADEC 2.0944 0

The 0 120 0 may come from the move 120 0 issued earlier in rts2-mon.
I assumed the rts2 was in OFF mode, switched ON in rts2-mon. In Stellarium, I tried in the telescope panel "Move telescope to [current object], [SLEW]". The entries in the logfile get more, but no change. rts2-mon shows the OBJ coordinates 2h/15° from another command given "move 30 15", and the logfile has
TelescopeRTS2 error QNetworkReply:
TelescopeRTS2 object false "no error occurred" 0 30 15
TelescopeRTS2 RADEC 0.523599 0.261799
It appears the SLEW command is not transferred to RTS2. But I also don't see a telescope marker on screen at 30°/15°. I don't know whether RTS2 has disabled the T0 telescope for safety during daylight or something (I have switched State:ON in rts2-mon before). I can apparently issue move commands in rts2-mon, these coordinates are displayed in rts2-mon, are transferred to Stellarium, but no telescope marker is visible, and I cannot isssue a GOTO command from Stellarium that would impress rts2-mon in any way.
So I see some connection is established, but something is likely still misconfigured.
