Foundries Update Server

The update server is an open source system for managing Foundries.io update agents. There are two primary use cases for this project:

• Offline (air-gapped) environments where devices can't reach the Foundries.io backend
• Users who want to manage their own device management solution

This project handles both use cases by implementing all the APIs used by Foundries.io update agents. The project also includes a user-facing REST API and Web UI for managing devices and updates.

Quick start

Follow the Quick Start guide to get a server running in development mode.

Adding updates

The update server uses content from Offline Updates to serve devices their TUF, OSTree, and Container data. Follow the updates guide for setting this up.

API access

Follow the API to learn how to access and use the REST API.

Configuring authentication options

Follow the configuring authentication guide for chosing the method that meets your requirements.

Branding and white-labeling

Follow the branding guide to replace the server's default look with your own logo, favicon, and color scheme — no rebuild required.

Running in production

The production guide covers considerations when deploying the update server for production use.

Developing

The project is a single Golang binary that can be built with:

 go build -o fioserver github.com/foundriesio/update-server/cmd/server

A "devshell" is also included that can be used for local development:

 ./contrib/dev-shell

NOTE: This repository uses Git-LFS. You'll need this installed to use the web UI.
