Venus OS v3.20 new release

Hi
Just read the releaes notes of the new v3.20.
What are the wireguard tools for? possible to join the cerbo via proxy or tunnel? For security purpose? Or what is the idea behind? Somehow possible to enable the html 5 interface as a beta?
Thank you

Wireguard: for now thats only the kernel option. To allow you and other users do things like this: https://community.victronenergy.com/articles/211164/howto-venus-os-setting-up-wireguard.html, without having to build the kernel or modules for it yourself


Html5 interface is always available at http://<ipaddress>/app

Hi mvader

I highly appreciate your work!!! I am datacenter engineer and aside I am building victron systems. I love it. Reading the release notes due to my main profession is highly important. Thanks - and thanks for letting me know about wireguard.

Can the http://<ipaddress>/app UI be accessed by the GX Touch device?

no. that would require a web browser, which there is not. And we did some proof of concept work on that a long time ago, and conclusion was that it was too slow/sluggish to the user.

Hi, here on community.


Or if you’re a large commercial customer, via distributor/sales manager.
