change to another mesh-ssid

[rubo77]

How many nodes do you have already in your net?

if not many, I would suggest to change the mesh-ssid to something cryptic, because it should not look like something the users want to connect to.

(https://github.com/pjodd/gluon-site/blob/master/site.conf#L56 and line 71)

Only your client SSID should contain the name "pjodd"

Would doing this change be doable when you roll out 2017.1.1 anyway (if you do), @karlwettin , or it would just break the network?

Don't really have a plan for it, but I think that we should run 2017.1.1 for a little while before we attempt changing the mesh-ssid. Just to make sure it works fine for us. But it sure would break the network. I'm positive to change it though. Perhaps we should all talk about it and vote though.

We probably need to discuss the smartest way to go about it before we do the change, but I suppose the best way is to set all nodes we have physical access to non update update, upload new firmware to the auto update place and then hope for all other nodes to update, and then do it on the nodes we have access to, and then the nodes we have access to with internet access.

Finally we might have to walk around with portable nodes connected to the internet and sit around close those nodes waiting for them to auto update. I have no clue to how often they poll for new firmware, and I'm not sure how we're suppose to detect that they indeed did update when we're sitting there. Would be nice if we could code some notification thingy.

How many nodes do you have already? Do you have a map? You could install hopglass server and the hopglass map.

You can see if a node updated on the satuspage of the node: http://[IP6]/ there you see the firmware version.

If the last update was long ago, then usually nodes try to find an update once every hour with a random factor:

The autoupdater checks for updates hourly (at a random minute of the hour), but usually only updates during its run between 4am and 5am, except when the whole GLUON_PRIORITY days and another 24 hours have passed.
