Action Advised: NervesHub Sunset
In 2018, NervesHub was launched to deliver first-class support for hardware deployments directly from the command line, and was offered for free to developers. It’s clear that NervesHub fills a pressing need for organizations. There are currently 626 users and 79 organizations leveraging NervesHub for firmware delivery.
However, scale brings with it unique challenges. In this case, the management and administration of the platform have grown over time, outpacing the community’s ability to support this infrastructure in a part-time capacity.
As such, the Nerves Hub maintainers have made the decision to sunset this free service on 3/31/2022.
Alternatives to NervesHub
Due to the open-source nature of NervesHub, you have several good options for firmware management.
- Host your own version of NervesHub. NervesHub will continue to be open-source, therefore users may opt to host their own platform.
- Migrate to another OTA firmware delivery platform. There are several solid options for OTA firmware delivery platforms, however, none of these other platforms have been built with Nerves in mind, rather only how to deploy embedded/embedded-linux applications.
- Participate in the auto-migration to the Peridio firmware delivery service. Peridio is a platform for managing firmware delivery across embedded devices. Peridio will support many of the most commonly used embedded platforms, first and foremost Embedded Linux and Nerves. Beyond that, there will be a series of modules developed to support high-security environments along with optimizing the delivery process for customers who do significant machine learning and analytics on the edge. Peridio will be offered free of charge for NervesHub users with less than 20 devices. If you have more than 20 devices, please contact support@peridio.com for pricing.

Great to see, that nerves-hub becomes of professional service. I wish you the best of luck with it. Can you say something about pricing?

Hi @mobileoverlord,
Nerves-Hub is not available at the moment, there’s an SSL certificate warning, because the domain ‘nerves-hub.com’ does not match the new peridio.com certs.
Is this because of the auto-migration you mentioned?
It’s possible to ignore the certificate error and access the new white peridio-hub, but then I’m stuck, because the websocket connection does not work
Thanks for all your work on Nerves and NervesHub!

Ah, the web socket connection on the console. You can access the new service directly at console.cremini.peridio.com
We are in the process of updating the stack further in the coming days. You can also read about some additional configuration to the existing tooling that’ll allow you to connect through the new domain. Thanks! https://docs.peridio.com/reference/nerves

console.cremini.peridio.com works great! Thanks a lot!
