Hi there!
I think it could be very handy, if in Balena Cloud, on a device page (especially on an offline device), one could download an image pre-configured for the same UUID/device ID, so that the local CLI steps don’t need to be done.
Recently I was trying to bring back online a device that had its SD card wiped. I didn’t want to register a new device, because the existing one had already been whitelisted in some other tools, and would have made it easier to just bring it up again.
First I was trying to follow the Create/Use Pre-existing Offline Device steps from the wiki - however the steps were somewhat confusing (especially around Configure balenaOS Image), as well as I am on ArchLinux, where the balena-cli can’t seem to be installed (the package is asking for waaaaay to old nodejs installation that cannot be satisfied), so I ended up trying to hack the config.json from memory of how that might work - but it never brought up the existing device, rather I had new devices created on boot.
Since from the cloud web interface once can download various pre-configured versions, this doesn’t seem like a stretch.
Of course this can be a foot-gun (people acidentally boot up the “same device” in two different hardware, etc..) but with appropriate warnings that should be manageable?
