Remotely updating your host operating system on resin.io

At resin.io, we offer our users a simple way to remotely update their applications running on fleets of IoT devices. This usually means that users don’t need to worry about updating the host operating system, since their code lives inside of a Docker container running on top of the host OS. But, since we periodically release updates and improvements to resinOS (the host OS running on all resin.io…

Spring IoT Hackathon Recap

We hosted our first hackathon in a long while at Campus London last weekend, with the theme of "Multi-Device Internet of Things". It was a very fruitful, long day with more than 40 people hacking on projects across about a dozen teams. Hackathon view Since most of the participants weren't familiar with resin.io, after breakfast we kicked off with a couple of demos to show how the resin.io…

ElectronJS with Raspberry Pi Made Easy As Pie

As we often point out at meetups and talks, the origins of resin.io go back to digital signage applications. We've since been focused on improving remote device deployment and management for all types of applications, but have only recently revisited the digital signage use case. Carlo, who is very experienced in the area of digital signage, developed resin-electronjs, an Electron-based template…

Spring into Hack-tion

We believe in experimentation here at resin.io, and learning and improving through projects. This is the idea behind Hack Fridays, when everyone on the team is encouraged to build projects on resin.io. This is also why we love hackathons, as they present a unique opportunity to quickly develop and test ideas in a fun and focused setting. It's been a long time since our last event, and we are happy…

Use the API, Luke!

The thing about platforms is that everyone wants to use them in their own way. No matter how many features are built in, there will always be people who need something that isn't there or works differently from the defaults. This is why at resin.io we have an API which covers the device and application management tasks you would otherwise do in the resin.io dashboard, thus you can build the tools…

We Are Back From Summit 2016

The resin.io team has just returned from Summit 2016, our annual gathering held in Athens. Running a remote team has lots of benefits, but in our experience, getting to know people face-to-face accelerates remote collaboration. This is why we gather for a week of talks, discussions, hacks, and activities. Talks As our team gets larger, it becomes harder to keep track of what's going on across…

Resin.io Hack Friday

Every Friday at resin.io we are working on projects that are our own interests - as long as it somehow connected to resin.io in some way. These Hack Fridays brought us a lot of insights, not just by dogfooding our platform, but by helping to find interesting tools, enhancing our work environment (such as this resinified office lock did), and letting us quickly tests out ideas that were bugging us…

The CLI also includes extra functionality to help you develop faster on top of resin, most important of which is resin sync. You can use resin sync to sync your local changes to a certain device on the fly, without needing…
