Update 003-settings.xzm on existing kiosks.

[kirezz]

Hello everyone,

Is there any ways to upload new existing module (for example 003-settings.xzm) on already installed kiosks? I mean localy (Porteus download package from my own local repo/http/ftp/ect).

Thanks!

hello kirezz,

you could do it this way:
- add 'debug=yes' parameter to your remote config (you must use remote management) to enable debug mode
- reboot kiosk and let it reconfigure
- connect to kiosk through ssh (if you have it enabled)
- mount hard drive somewhere
- copy existing kiosk installation to some folder
- download updated module with wget
- replace old component with a new one
- create new ISO with make-iso.sh script and make it hybrid
- burn new ISO on the hard drive
- reboot

So there is no way to update only firefox module, for example, on 100 PC's with already installed Porteus on it?

Is there any way use some cheat codes to upload only custom firefox module from local web-server? Cant get any info about it.

There is a way but its a commercial route:
http://porteus-kiosk.org/automatic-updates.html
If you are interested please contact me through sales@porteus-kiosk.org and i'm sure we could get some agreement.

If you want to avoid costs then you have to develop 'auto update' solution yourself. I have described the process in my previous post.
