Docker Signal K Appstore update

That’s how I was doing it. So because the version was not updating in the UI I assumed it was not updating. I still see the old version number but it’s the beta. Thanks for the help!

Ah got it! Just needed to remove the dependencies in package.json and delete the app from /usr/node_modules. What ever I install in .signalk works now

Setting up Kip for different devices

It’s labeled that way because the feature has evolved over 9 years but it really works differently now days. The wording stayed. Older users understand but for new users it’s bizarre

But you are right. KIP always loads default. You can copy it to a new name to create a backup, and you can overwrite it to restore

Yeah. I’ve had so many people not getting it that I’ll relabel and change the mechanics a bit.

Setting up Kip for different devices

There are two ways storage works. Stored on the server or locally on the device browser (in the browser storage - like cookie data). You can copy from a server to local, then back to a different server and/or different user. You just can’t do it the traditional way - using download/upload with files. It’s all in the documentation. Reach out in the KIP channel if you don’t find what you need.

So copy to Global. Sign in with the other user and copy from Global to user.

To copy config between users, you have to copy to Global storage first. Can’t do user to user direct copy due to security restrictions. Global is the “public” storage space.

The issue will be you will have to change users every time. Not ideal. So it would probably be better to have one 3 page layout

And you can copy a layout to another user. Well it’s not just the page layout. It’s the whole KIP config
