Run the Rumble network scanner on a device managed by Balena

Rumble is a cloud-based network discovery solution that uses one or more local agents performing active network and service discovery scans. This repository is an example of how Rumble can be used with a device managed by Balena.

• A Balena account
• A Rumble account
• A Raspberry Pi (this project has been tested with a RPi 3)

The Rumble Starter edition is free and can be used to discover up to 256 assets.

You'll need to retrieve the download URL for your Rumble agent from here. This example has been tested with a Raspberry Pi 3, so you need the Linux ARMv7 (32 bit) version. Copying the URL is sufficient; you don't need to download the agent, because that's what Balena will do for you.

Create a new application in your Balena account. You can then push this rumble-balena project to the new Balena application using the Balena CLI as follows:

# login to Balena
$ balena login

# push the application to Balena (or to your device in local mode)
$ balena push <application>

When you run the application the first time it will fail, because the Rumble agent can't be downloaded. The Rumble agent download URL should be made available as a Service Variable for the agent service (or as a Device Variable) in Balena, after which the service will restart.

• Ensure that we can build using the download URL without needing it as service variable
• Add verification of binary using Rumble Verifier
• Easier configuration of Rumble download URL
• Support multiple architectures and devices
• Add Rumble scanner?
