Description An update module to manage device configuration via Mender Configure add-on. See Mender Docs for an overview of the add-on. mender-configure is the update module responsible for fetching and reporting configuration, and requires the user to use one or multiple apply-device-config script…

Hi there, Thanks for this great feature. Am I right with the assumption that there is nothing speaking against deploying a configuration directly to a device group, since they are artifacts/deployments? Would it also be possible to create a kind of default config deployment mechanism that sends a c…

I have some small questions about the mender-configure module. My organization is considering using Mender for OTA updates for both our system and application software and I’d like to propose moving configuration over to Mender as well if it is able to be feature-complete with our current in-house s…

Since config updates are just artifacts, I’m wondering how mender-client behaves if ArtifactVerifyKey is set to a public key file. If I understand the documentation correctly, once ArtifactVerifyKey is set, all artifacts must be signed with the corresponding private key. However, since the configura…

Hello! During our testing of mender-configure, we found that if you successfully set a configuration parameter through the mender UI and then do a clean flash of the device, the parameter that was set through the mender UI is lost once the device comes back online. Is this the intended outcome?

Yes, the device is the “source of truth”. The server has the power to change the contents, but once the deployment is over, the server will obey whatever the client says that it has.

Hello! I have a support question regarding the mender-configure module. I have registered and activated successfully a device on the Mender Hub but when I try to initiate a configuration deployment it hangs on InProgress and the client side responds with the following error: level=error msg="Erro…

Apparently there is a potential bug described in an other more recent thread with the device name parser. So I consider this for now [SOLVED].
