Thanks!

For now this is true. People using Deviceplane today upgrade their underlying OS via the mechanism provided by their distro. On Debian-based systems this means running something like `apt-get dist-upgrade`. Deviceplane provides the tools to rollout this upgrade across your devices, but we're not hands-on past that.
We do have plans to support OS-level updates, but for now we're specializing in just updating applications and letting the underlying distro handle updating itself.
> Another concern is pricing. $5/device/mo is probably fine for enterprise, but that can be 100% of revenue for many consumer devices. Since you’re open source, we could always self-host, but I’m curious if you have any plans to for more B2C-friendly pricing.
Our pricing isn't actually $5/device/mo! This would be quite expensive. Our team plans starts at $250 per month, but pricing doesn't scale linearly past that. We're still exploring different pricing schemes for Deviceplane, but we do know that having the same per-device rate for B2B and B2C will likely not work.
- cyrusroshan 7y agoTo add on to what Josh said, re: OS updates, we have functionality for bulk scripting (https://deviceplane.com/docs/operating/command-scripting/ https://deviceplane.com/docs/operating/command-scripting/) to help you roll out host-level updates to your devices. We're also interested in hearing your thoughts on pricing, shoot us founders@deviceplane.com, and let's talk about it!
- guptaneil 7y agoThanks Josh and Cyrus! The bulk scripting looks super handy and definitely addresses half my concern with OS updates. The other half is being able to roll-back if something goes wrong during the update. Sent you an email!
