I want to install a number of Raspberry Pi's in remote locations and push updates over the air to the operating system as necessary, in a way similar to mobile phones. There needs to be a partition for storing local data (such as wifi codes), so when it reboots it 'works'.

Is there a standard way of doing this in linux?

  • How is this related to professional IT? Or is it? – HopelessN00b Jun 26 '14 at 14:12
  • It's similar to how you would remotely manage machines on a corporate Windows network; including re-imaging broken machines remotely. – chrism2671 Jun 26 '14 at 14:18

    You might wanna put that into your question, before it attracts anymore close votes. There's kind f a knee-jerk VTC reaction to things that aren't traditionally enterprise-grade, on account of the quantity of crap questions we get on a regular basis. – HopelessN00b Jun 26 '14 at 14:23

You need to create an local repository, attach the Raspberry settings to it and then you can reboot them with cronjobs with GIT or Puppet.
