Hi all,
I need some help with some brainfarts of mine.
I have 2 machines that are downloading iOS updates every 5 minutes.(if available)
I need to distribute this to ~200 machines asap when there is an update.
Current situation:
Operators walk to one of the 2 machines, cooy the files to usb
and walks around thr 200 machines and copy it manually.
How can I speed this up, and automize it?
I do have a ‘autoUpdater’ that runs each login on a machine. So tried to use that to transfer the files over the lan. However the LAN of these 2 machines can’t handle it and are really slow (d’uh)
So I was thinking, how about a local torrent file?
I can create a torrent file when the updates are downloaded and some how have the 200 stations fetch the torrent and start downloading together from eachother as well.
This would be a great situation?
But as the LAN part goes, I should limit connections for 2 downloaders simutaniously from the 2 machines and from eachother. (i guess)
And I need to automize the creation and distribution. I could have the 200 stations to boot every night (This region receives updates mainly in nighttime) and fetch a new torrent file (if there is any)
I did not look into torrent creation etc yet.
Does anyone here have any experience in this and knows what I’m talking about and strugling with?
Any advice would be appriciated!
