OTA batch like #855 - Githubissues

fly74 commented 5 years ago

Is it planend to make OTA flashs with a batch job?

2 things would be the requirements:

should flash ESP with password
should make the 2 way OTA also with batch

Just a feature request.

Is there some new out there? Only to ask.

TD-er commented 4 years ago

Well I did write this PR also with the intent to improve deployment. What I am working to is this:

Automatic backup of settings
Automatic deployment/update of settings.
Allow to download firmware images to SPIFFS (not going to work on 1M nodes) so they can receive a single command (or check on regular interval) and pull in an update from any HTTP source they need.

This combined may also allow us to temporary remove all settings from a node and then automatic re-init by formatting SPIFFS and restoring the settings for that specific node. On 1M nodes it does give a bit more room for the 2-step OTA if the SPIFFS does not have to survive. Also other nodes in the network could act as a source/resource to store the firmware images and/or settings so you can also do this on locations with limited (or no guaranteed) bandwidth or uptime and also remain independent of external resources like "the cloud".

But it is still in its infancy state and a lot has to be done. This "Settings Archive" stuff is just the first step.

Is there a way maybe to provide a upload function in combination with wget , curl or... from a commandline?

TD-er commented 3 years ago

No idea why not. It is just a HTTP POST message.

Just fetched the raw headers from my browser's inspect window when performing an update:

So using curl will be something like this: (not tested)

curl -F ‘file=@path/to/local/file’ UPLOAD_ADDRESS

Is it for the 2 step OTA possible too?

fly74 commented 3 years ago

But for 2 step must https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEasy/issues/2936 be solved

TD-er commented 3 years ago

I know.... And that one requires also a rebuild of the 2-step OTA image, which will probably give a lot of new issues to make it fit.
