Issue with balena push using device UUID instead of application name

General
1

Hello,

I am facing an issue while trying to use balena push with a device UUID instead of the application name. According to the Balena CLI documentation, it suggests that balena push can be used with the device UUID . However, when I try to push using balena push 8f4d6a2.local --system, I am getting the following error: :upside_down_face:

ENOTFOUND: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND 8f4d6a2.local
I am using Balena CLI version 18.2.2. Am I missing something in my approach? I have checked balena CLI Documentation - Balena Documentation msbi documentation for guidance but still need help.

Could someone clarify if balena push supports pushing directly to a device using its UUID or if thereā€™s a specific configuration needed?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. :slightly_smiling_face:

Thank you!

The documentation states that you can use ā€œfleet name or slug, or local device IP address or ā€œ.localā€ hostnameā€ but I donā€™t see a mention of just UUID. However, it sounds like you are referring to the .local hostname which usually starts with the short UUID - unless you changed the deviceā€™s hostname. Are you able to ping 8f4d6a2.local or is it listed when using balena scan ? Is the device on the same network as the machine running the CLI?
