nerves_hub v0.7.4 NervesHub.Client behaviour

A behaviour module for customizing if and when firmware updates get applied.

By default NervesHub applies updates as soon as it knows about them from the NervesHub server and doesn't give warning before rebooting. This let's devices hook into the decision making process and monitor the update's progress.

Example

defmodule MyApp.NervesHubClient do
  @behaviour NervesHub.Client

  # May return:
  #  * `:apply` - apply the action immediately
  #  * `:ignore` - don't apply the action, don't ask again.
  #  * `{:reschedule, timeout_in_milliseconds}` - call this function again later.

  @impl NervesHub.Client
  def update_available(data) do
    if SomeInternalAPI.is_now_a_good_time_to_update?(data) do
      :apply
    else
      {:reschedule, 60_000}
    end
  end
end

To have NervesHub invoke it, add the following to your config.exs:

config :nerves_hub, client: MyApp.NervesHubClient
