local mode - testing changes

Hi,

I’ve been working through some changes for my github project. However I’m struggling to get my changes tested locally.

I’ve made my changes on branch:develop & although it’s checked out & active. When I run balena push -s . 192.168.1.5 from within my source directory I get the old version without my changes running on my Pi

What should I be doing here to test my changes locally before deploying?

Right, I’ve spent 2 evenings trying to get this working. As far as I can tell balena push is not building my local version

I’ve tried
• Logging into device, running various docker commands balena system prune, removing the old containers
• Different image (PiHole) as this does seem to load PiHole
• Changing balena yml (name + url)

Regardless however when triggering balena push I still keep getting the old images:

See above, netspeed_1_1, is running image from registry2.balena-cloud.com/v2/3a9066ce744bf2ed13c472c8e827c924:latest, when it should be running the local version

Hi @ryandev, I’m not sure I follow you. The console output you shared is saying that resin_supervisor container which is our on device supervisor is running registry2.balena-cloud.com/v2/3a9066ce744bf2ed13c472c8e827c924:latest.
You can inspect balena image ls to see what the image source for those containers is, and wether they are built locally or served via our cloud.

Here is sample output from one of my devices in local mode, as you can see images built locally using local mode/livepush are prefixed with local_:
