Remote access to the Dakboard OS

[Heathy65]

If I understand correctly there is no way to gain remote access to the Dakboard OS via http or ssh. I mean when the endpoint is located remotely from me (not on the same LAN or even reachable via a WAN). I have two of these units which separately provide information and photos to my parents (each in different residential homes).
I'm thinking of installing zerotier on the Raspberry Pi units to facilitate a secure remote connection.
Are there any plans to natively support remote connectivity.
In relation to using Zerotier has anyone tried this. Also if it works would any subsequent upgrade overwrite this "hack".

Hi @Heathy65,

Because the contents of the screen can be changed remotely by accessing dakboard.com, we find it uncommon that users need to access the device remotely.

The majority of users set items such as on/off schedule, and screen orientation/resolution on their DAKboard-OS device pretty infrequently to need remote access.

Raspberry Pi is working on a beta feature for raspbian called Raspberry Pi Connect, which I would expect you could install. It is in beta form at the moment and details are provided here:

Thanks I will try that (FYI in this instance it's the screen on/off schedule which I need to change and aren't currently able to travel to the devices location).
