We’re currently looking to integrate mender into our product. We’ll use stand alone mode for updates, as the Server component is already specified.
Unfortunately I didn’t find documentation on how to stream data to the mender application in standalone mode.

OK, after reading the documentation again carefully, I found that using mender -install can take http url’s to download artifact stream directly.
