Management

We designed the Dashboard to be standalone, established, and hassle-free. We achieved this by utilising Ubuntu IoT Core, which is nicely adapted for embedded applications. The file system is read-only, encapsulating all applications in snap packages.

It’s accessible via direct SSH access; hence Teleport doesn’t suit IoT Core well.

BKSP R00T key is required for SSH. Ask RØ for access.

ssh 0x08in@dashboard.lo.0x08.in
