<div dir="ltr">So the question is whether we need a web server inside the embedded Linux board, which comes with maintenance work. That depends on what the device is. For those Wi-Fi routers they have been doing this for a long time. My D-Link router never published any update since I bought it 4 years ago. I doubt the web server is that good...<div><br></div><div>Raymond</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Mar 13, 2018 at 1:20 PM, Paul Nijjar via kwlug-disc <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:kwlug-disc@kwlug.org" target="_blank">kwlug-disc@kwlug.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><br>
I am going to undermine the question a little. If you serve this thing<br>
from an embedded Linux board, how will you handle updates the next<br>
time Javascript (or the framework of your choice) has a bug? If you<br>
are serving a complicated thing from a simple device you have to deal<br>
with supporting the updates.<br>
<br>
There were webservers built into JetDirect cards for HP printers. They<br>
are awkward to use now because they depended upon versions of Java<br>
that modern browsers no longer support. Meanwhile they add security<br>
vulnerabilities to the network.<br>
