I hope remote SD card update will be implemented soon.

It is really difficult to manually update every ThinClient's SD card :(

Thank you aka for your hard work.
Hey Aka, just noticed you implemented Remote Update through Https somewhere around 5.6.x , That's great :D ,just tested it, remote upgraded a client from 5.6.18 to 5.6.24 8) , Thank you.

Only problem is I did not setup a password in every PI , so i still have to deal with the SD cards :lol: .

You can administer remotely by hands. Over HTTPS. Not automatically.

It's a problem.
WTware that boots from SD and downloads configs from network always saves downloaded config. And uses it on next boot if network server fails. But:
1. It takes time to make decision "server fail". Minutes.
2. It's error. WTware displays error message and user presses any key to continue.
Hello AKA,

Is there a way to disable the error message and the need to press any key to continue?

If problem is still actual, please, try this build:

http://pxe.ru/files/testing/201710230055.zip

Install this build. Make boot SD.

Then open cmdline.txt file on SD in text editor (windows notepad is ok) and add "config_timeout=10" before "quiet" word.

Will it work as expected?
I can confirm this works on Ver 5.6.18

Thank you akatik

I would like to continue in this thread as i am interested in simmilar use case.

I would like to have remote clinets configured on SDcard. Bud i would like them to administrate remotely online sometimes. Is it possible to make setting during boot *check if configuration server is online / if not use sdcard setting, if yes, download setting ?

The point is, that if there will be problem with configuration, i can startup configuration server, update settings and then turn it off. So most times will be server off, and configuration used will be on sdcard.

I hope i explained myself clearly. Thanks for response

I do not think automatic wtware update on local disks is a good idea.

If you like to test new versions, use network boot. With network boot, you can easily change version and easily return it back if something goes wrong.

So my idea was to have a share on a server that the Pi's look at and download the latest version of WTware from, Basically like an internal Windows Update Server. When a new version of WTware is released you copy the zip to the share and then when the pi's turn on in the morning or on a schedule they check for an update, download it and apply it

Please, write me again, what are you telling about.
Full WTware for all architectures is less then 200Mb. Update image for Pi is about 25Mb now. What is 280Mb?
