Hi,

Is there a way i could access the remote BalenaOS and copy files that are present in a shared Volume (shared between the HostOS and the Container, persistent Data)?

Best regards

You can.

Tunnel into the device then scp from the shared volume to your computer.

I’ve had good luck with croc. We use it to transfer files in/out of our containers directly. I’m not sure if it will help if you want/need to go to the Host OS though.

I also setup my own croc relay server on the cheapest DigitalOcean VM so I’m not reliant on using the public croc relays and eating up their bandwidth.
