Directing the Berg cloud bridge

[Matt-Deacalion]

In README.md it says "First point your bridge at your laptop". How does one do this?

Cheers.

Is there any where I can find out how to do this? as remote.bergcloud.com is down at the moment.

I would love to know how to get the new firmware. I don't care if I brick the bridge since I'll be tossing it if I can't revive it.

An update would be nice. I'm a programmer so just knowing the first steps would be nice.

Ok, my intention was to roll out the new Bridge software to everyone... but I'm having trouble understanding how to get the Bridge update servers to do a bulk update. I'll be able to figure it out, it'll just take me some more time.

But I want you all to be able to use this ahead of me figuring that out. So I can manually get you the software if I can get the MAC address of your Bridge.

There are instructions to find the MAC address on the old troubleshooting page -- go down to the header "I’ve plugged in the Bridge, and the ethernet light is flashing constantly" and there are instructions about using software called Bonjour Browser and some alternatives. Get the MAC address and let me know. (Here? Or does github have a private message function? I don't know tbh)

After I've added your MAC address to the update servers, the process is:

• Power cycle the Bridge, and wait some minutes for the update to run. Cross fingers it doesn't get bricked
• Use Bonjour Browser (or equiv) to find the local IP of your Bridge
• Go to the URL (local IP):81/configure

From there you're dropped into step 2 of the Updating the Bridge instructions.

you can then either point your Bridge at my alpha server, or download the code and install it on your own server.

Thank you, not just letting this hardware die is good of you. MAC: [40:d8:55:19:79:57]

@sfcgeorge have flagged that MAC address for an update -- this is the first time I've used this particular bit of the system, so I hope it works!

[sfcgeorge]

It worked! I got to the /configure page, logged in as per updating the bridge instructions on the wiki. Changing then endpoint isn't working for me, it keeps going back to berg. But remote and bergcloud seem to be working so that's nice for now.

Hi Matt, can you add in my mac address please: 40:d8:55:01:cd:fd

This is the first time I've plugged my little printer in for a few months, and I'm no longer getting the 'upstream' light turn on (all others are solid white). Is this because the Bergcloud services are finally turned off or do I have another issue?

Thanks for your hard work keeping this going!

[genmon]

@simonpfry Bridge flagged for update. The old servers are up and down now... not entirely sure why they seem to work for some people and not for others

[simonpfry]

Thanks! Managed to update the software and update the endpoint!

Hi Matt, Could you add in our mac address too:

Thanks.

@bskrt done!
