Example usage

One canary group

Mark relevant devices with device tags with name "release_group" and value "canary" on balenaCloud.

To deploy a canary commit to them, run:

resin-release-tool --app $APP_ID release -c $CANARY_COMMIT -g canary

To deploy said commit to rest of devices, run:

resin-release-tool --app $APP_ID release -c $NEW_RELEASE_COMMIT -a
resin-release-tool --app $APP_ID unpin canary

(Note: Running the unpin command is not necessary if canary is already on NEW_RELEASE_COMMIT, however, without it, it won't track the latest app-wide release.)

Staggered release with multiple groups

Mark relevant devices with device tags with name "release_group" and value "release_group_1/2/3" on balenaCloud.

To deploy a commit to all devices in a staggered way:

(Add appropriate wait or checks between commands as appropriate for your usecase.)

resin-release-tool --app $APP_ID release -c $NEW_RELEASE_COMMIT -g release_group_1
resin-release-tool --app $APP_ID release -c $NEW_RELEASE_COMMIT -g release_group_2
resin-release-tool --app $APP_ID release -c $NEW_RELEASE_COMMIT -g release_group_3

resin-release-tool --app $APP_ID release -c $NEW_RELEASE_COMMIT -a
resin-release-tool --app $APP_ID unpin release_group_1 release_group_2 release_group_3
