Balena Supervisor SDK

Simple Node.js wrapper for the balena supervisor API.

Currently only implementing as much as we need :)
Feel free to contribute.

Currently Implemented

• GET /v1/device/host-config
• PATCH /v1/device/host-config

Tutorial: Renaming devices and hostnames

By default balena ...

• ... creates fantasy names for the devices
• ... uses the first 7 digits of the Balena-UUID as hostname

In our setup we want to have:

• Our OWN Unique Device-IDs
• Use our Device-IDs as hostnames, and as balena device names.

Usage

1. Create your own hostnames.json
   Example:

    {
      '00112233445566778899aabbccddeeff': 'adas-device',
      'ffeeddccbbaa99887766554433221100': 'bobs-device',
      '32-digit-uuid-pasted-from-balena': 'your-hostname',
      ...
    }
   

2. Login to balena

    balena login
   

3. Run the script

    node balena-update-names.js hostnames.json
