The external rebooter isn’t used as part of a watchdog setup. Instead, it is programmatically used by rtr7-recovery, with which you can recover from a faulty update, to trigger a PXE boot. This way, you can update your router each day in an unattended fashion, with automated rollback in case connectivity is lost with the new software.
- taf2 8y agoit'd be cool if there was an HA mode for this so you can have two devices - and it rotates the active device while the secondary is updating... and then it'd be easy to have power redundancy etc.. .
- secure 8y agoI can see how that might be appealing in an enterprise setup, but I have no desire to build that complexity into router7 :). In case my apu breaks, I have another one and can just restore today’s backup onto that within 1 minute.
- antpls 8y agoWould it be a lot of work to have a parallel partition which is updated and swaped? If something goes wrong you simply boot the old partition. Like on new Android devices : https://source.android.com/devices/tech/ota/ab/ https://source.android.com/devices/tech/ota/ab/
