Updating WebODM over command line

WebODM
#1

I’m having an issue with updating WebODM on my processing node. As far as I know, the processing node version doesn’t matter but I have been getting odd data and I fear I may be several versions behind since I can’t do my datasets on my normal PC. Here’s the console output.

[email protected]:~/WebODM$ sudo bash webodm.sh update

Mm, did you modify app/models/task.py? You can revert the changes before updating by issuing:

git checkout app/models/task.py`

Then ./webodm.sh update.

That worked. I “made changes” by updating when there were tasks in the list. Perhaps for standard users that should be made part of the update procedure, maybe with a (y/n) style if you want to overwrite your data with the master data. I wasn’t trying to fiddle with the program, just trying to update the thing.
