Hey guys, I’ve been working with resin for about a week and am LOVING it. I’ve built out our prototype and am preparing to have them test it back at HQ.
My ideal workflow would be:
- Send them an *img.zip file that they can burn to the SD using Etcher
- Have it boot to https://github.com/resin-io/resin-wifi-connect and have them enter SSID/PSK
Right now I’ve been downloading the IMG file from the dashboard but it doesn’t seem to boot the portal until I connect it to wifi and it downloads a bunch of other stuff. These are the first few lines from the logs when it provisions for the first time:
27.02.18 18:44:26 (+0100) Applying configuration change {"RESIN_SUPERVISOR_NATIVE_LOGGER":"false"}
27.02.18 18:44:27 (+0100) Creating network 'default'
27.02.18 18:44:27 (+0100) Creating volume 'resin-data'
27.02.18 18:44:27 (+0100) Downloading image 'registry2.resin.io/v2/yadayada@sha256:yadayada'
I’ve tried combinations on the cli of resin init, resin-build, resin-deploy but it still hasn’t booted as I was hoping.
I have a feeling I’m fundamentally misunderstanding how the code/build/deploy process works and need to build the host and container images first locally so I can burn that IMG to an SD card but I’m a little stuck and hoping you guys can help.
Thanks in advance!
