Can two different versions of Allsky (allsky local capture system and a remote allsky web server) run together

[Stephen2615]

So perhaps I am missing something but I have allsky running on my RPi at home (version v2022.03.01) and I tried to get the webserver on my QNAP to display the web images. I installed version v2023.05.01_03 on my QNAP and followed the instructions. I was able to get allsky to put the images on the QNAP. The problem is that there is no index.php that I can find on the QNAP and I get a forbidden message. I can look at the individual image.jpg but that is it. So this leads me to some fundamental change in later versions that won't let me do what I have done. Do I need to update allsky on my home RPi?

@Stephen2615,
v2023.05.01_03 is the newest version of Allsky; the newest Allsky Website version is v2023.05.01. It requires Allsky v2023.05.01 or newer.

What Allsky version is your Pi running?
What exactly did you install on the QNAP? It should be the Allsky Website files from GitHub. The Installation -> Allsky Website documentation page describes what to do, including when to run website/install.sh --remote.

@EricClaeys. Thanks for the response. I was hoping that I could retain the current RPi installation (running version v2022.03.01) without needing to upgrade it. As you say, "the newest Allsky Website version is v2023.05.01. It requires Allsky v2023.05.01 or newer. " That solves my question.

The Allsky Website can run on the Pi, a remote server, or both. Its primary job is to allow people to see your current image as well as archived timelapse, keograms, and startrails.
Allsky's primary purpose is to take and save images and optionally create the daily timelapse, startrails, and keograms.
