The best embedded Linux tool you've never heard of: Rugix

 

So you have a Linux-based application that you want to run on both cloud and bare metal devices with non-bricking Over The Air (OTA) update capability. You probably thought of a few popular options like: Mender, SWUpdate, fwup, fwupd, balenaCloud, Torizon, JFrog Artifact Manager, Memfault, OSTree, Vib, ABRoot, Airo, boot2container, Sidero Omni, Heroku, Netlify, Vercel, Coolify, gokrazy, BareMetal OS, Yocto, Buildroot, ACRN, or even tried rolling your own solution, but those options are either complicated, expensive, don't support OTA updates, or don't support both cloud and bare metal scenarios. You may have also considered automatically running a cron job to update a regular Linux OS using its package manager, but that's a bad idea. So what's left? A little-known tool that rocks! Rugix
