Erika as a Service

[sirexeclp]

How about setting up one Erika with computer-paper and a webcam, that is accessible from the internet (or vpn) so that one could test things on real hardware if he/she does not have an Erika at hand.
Ofc. access should be limited in some way and some safety features might be implemented such as remotely restarting Erika.

Awesome label added :)

That requires a whole new threat model :D

How confident are we about the TCP server - should we test some possibly malicious cases?

Should we expose a binary interface at all, or just offer the wrapped public methods of the python interface? 🤔

I could take on that task and set that up at the hackspace. Maybe up on the shelf so it won't be in the way.
I would make it only accessible via a vpn that the erika pi would autologin on and build in a relais or smart plug to power cycle the erika from the pi.
I wouldn't make it public from the internet altough that would be an option later.

Anyone have a proper pi camera or an old USB one that we could use ?

I guess a pi that's accessible via ssh behind a vpn would be fine as first step.
