 The local Allsky Website (i.e., on the Pi) is installed with Allsky but must be enabled in the WebUI in order to use it.
 You can also install the Allsky Website on a remote server so it can be viewable via the Internet.
 
 See [Installation / Upgrading --> Website](https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://raw.githubusercontent.com/AllskyTeam/allsky/master/html/documentation/installations/AllskyWebsite.html) for information on how to install and configure an Allsky Website.
