README: enable an update channel after install from image #82

Closed hnez closed 10 months ago

hnez commented 10 months ago

The releases in the stable and testing channel on downloads.linux-automation.com are byte-for-byte equivalent, except for the RAUC bundles, which are re-signed before they are uploaded.

When installing a testing or stable bundle the update channel to enable in the new slot is chosen based on the certificate the bundle was signed with.

For a from-scratch installation we do not have this information, so the user has to choose a channel to enable.

This means that we have to enable one channel on production devices for sale during bringup, right?

Or it is enabled during setup with the wizard.

We do not currently enable/disable update channels from within the tacd. That would be an interesting feature and would also be required to allow initial deployment of new-out-of-the-box TACs via RAUC bundle, but that has not been a priority yet.

Yes. It looks like we likely messed that up for our first batch of external beta-tester TACs, but we've since added such a step to the bringup tooling.

I'll close this PR in favor of #83.
