Deploy File

A simple way to get one or more files quickly onto your IoT device is to use the Deploy Files action in a JFrog Connect workflow.

The Deploy Files action enables the quick distribution of one or more files to your devices. To deliver a file, the action facilitates a two-step process:

1. You upload of the requested file to Artifactory.

2. Devices pull the file from Artifactory.

This functionality is primarily utilized for quick deployment of specific files or binaries to your devices, eliminating the necessity to upload them beforehand.

Prerequisites

• JFrog Connect and JFrog Platform accounts. (You receive a JFrog Platform account automatically when you register for a JFrog Connect account.)

• Connect Agent 6.0 or later and at least one device registered.

• One or more files ready for deployment.

Drag the Action

To include the Deploy File action in your update flow, do the following:

1. Go to Deployment in the left menu and click Create Update Flow.

2. Drag the Deploy File action and drop it in the workflow.

Configure the Action

Click the action to open and configure it.

1. Enter a name for the action.

2. Enter (drag and drop or browse) the file in the file box.

1. Enter Device Destination Path. You can also make this a variable, for example {{device-destination-path}}. You will then enter the value for the variable upon deployment.

2. If you want to deliver more than one file, create a Deploy File action for each file.

3. Configure your On Failure policy and instructions for rolling back, if necessary.
4. Save your action configuration.
