Automating the deployment of a IOT-device isn’t just yaml.

Although we need stuff to happen after our build, it is more complicated. We have a server running that needs to receive a message and then make sure all new dependencies are installed and the code is restarted.

We have our usual deploy.yaml in our Github Actions. It makes a post request to our own API that needs to run some OS commands on-device for everything to update properly.

But we do in addition need our IOT device to capture this request and ensure it is updated. Also, please don’t take more time then what is required!
