It makes sense to update indi-allsky at regular intervals. The easiest way to do this is via the console:
To do this, after logging in via SSH, navigate to
cd indi-allsky
in the first step to the indi-allsky directory.
Then stop indi-allsky and gunicorn via
systemctl --user stop indi-allsky
Now you can perform the update. To do this, first get the file list via git
git pull origin main
…and then update it via
./setup.sh
A user interface opens where you can select the camera driver and then specify whether you only want to update indi-allsky or all relevant files. You can also update Python, GPIO etc. – just as you wish.
You will be asked again and again about individual steps – some of these are pre-filled with the existing data so that you don’t have to enter anything. For example, the web server can be updated (or not). The whole process takes between 5 and 15 minutes, depending on how much needs to be updated.
Finally, restart the indi-allsky – either by confirming the corresponding query with “yes” during the upgrade process or manually using a console command:
systemctl --user start indi-allsky
