Should we upgrade our SatNOGS stations to Docker?

SatNOGS Software

Hi,
have not spending much time here lately as my two stations has been running without any problems for a long time. When I look at the setup instructions I can see that the client is now running as Docker.

There is also a script for upgrading from legacy SatNOGS software.

So my question is: is the recommendation to upgrade our stations to the Docker installation?

Not all feature are available, so check the missing feature table.

Yes, I saw that missing feature table. But if you have a clean install, should you then upgrade to Docker? What is the SatNOGS community recommendations?

I hope someone from the development team will answer that question.

If you are not affected by the missing feature, I suggest you go for it. It will be helpful to verify that transition to the new version and the new version itself works as intended.

Did try the upgrade command but it did not work, getting:

OSError: Could not find a suitable TLS CA certificate bundle, invalid path: /var/lib/satnogs/lib/python3.9/site-packages/certifi/cacert.pem

I think I flash the SD-card from beginning…
