This boilerplate provides an install script:

10_install_root.sh copies everything in files/install to root, mantaining permissions and owners. E.g. files/install/home/pi/a.txt overwrites (or creates) the /home/pi/a.txt file on the system applying the update.

And a prepare script:

• Builds the vue-app
• Creates a manifest.json with some metadata:
  • backend commit hash at the time of the build
• Copies the backend, cleaning out logs, stub classes, virtualenv artifacts
• Copies the files in pre
• Signs and produces the final package, sample_update.tar

Assuming you have the backend and the frontend cloned alongside the update-reset folder and already run npm install on the vue app:

Prepare the payload with:

./prepare

sample_update.tar will be produced.

• Check the folder structure in install. Remember that [..]/update-reset/sample/sample_update/files/install/ is mapped to / on the Raspberry;
• Check /var/logs/coderbot_update.log and /var/logs/coderbot_update_last.log on the Raspberry for the update_coderbot script logs;
• The vue-app may be client-cached (see CoderBotOrg/backend#108). A full refresh may be needed (CTRL+F5).
