there are also many different from django-rest-framework-jwt to djangorestframework-simplejwt. So it can not pass the test in webodm.sh. Login function is broken now. The browser will create window.prompt automatic which is required account and password to instead of the login function. It's necessary to overwrite auth functions.

Curious about the move from 21 to 20 here. Due to the upcoming EOL of 20.04 would it make sense to work on bumping this to 22.04 or higher?

[NtskwK]

Version of ubuntu in Docker webodm_db and webodm_webapp should be same to ensure apt will install some package in the same version. Maybe I should to update both?

[NtskwK]

Done. The base image is Ubuntu 22.04 now, because PDAL can not be found by apt in Ubuntu 24.04.

[chris-bateman]

Yeah 24 is still fairly new but 22 has plenty of life left in it.

I appreciate the efforts to upgrade Django, Postgres and base system, but there's a lot that needs to be addressed.

My comments from #1543 (comment) still haven't been addressed and I don't understand why this was marked as "ready for review".

This is not an easy task and there's a reason it hasn't been done yet; it's a lot of work and needs a solid amount of funding (or a lot of careful work by a dedicated contributor) to be done.
