A separate RPi4 image can be built here and then transferred over via Internet so they can burn it to a blank SDcard and start the RPi device up there. Once on that netywork I can manage it from here via VPN. Meanwhile I have to enable the script on the Ubuntu server and put username/password into the call. That at least works, I have tested. I will protect it by modifying the $HOME/.subversion directory and the script to be only accessible by me. But executable by the system of course. I should really dist-upgrade the Ubuntu server over there but I want to be on location for that and I don't know when that will happen.... -- Bo Berglund Developer in Sweden
