Show version number in Web Interface

[physec-rex]

Is this a bug or a feature request?

Feature request

What did you expect?

I think it is a good idea to show the current version of the lora-app-server in the web interface. When I created a bug report, I looked for the version number in the web interface and was surprised I could not find it.

What version are your using?

2.6.0

Use "lora-app-server [command] --help" for more information about a command.

In case of Docker, I recommend to use the version tags, e.g. loraserver/lora-app-server:x.y.z to make sure you pull a specific version.

Thanks for your information. I did not notice that.

However, I still think it is a good idea to be able to see the running version in the web interface for users that do not have access to the server lora-app-server is running on.

Or when you are running it from the Gateway OS... where this command doesn't work :/

It does, try /opt/loraserver/loraserver --help :-)
