Thanks Lonnie. Yeah that's way too hard. I will wait for them to open up the
firewall.

Hi Michael,
Do you have physical access? If "yes" a local attached USB drive can be
used as a "local repo".
Below is an example, using an PC Engines APU2 "genx86_64-serial" image.
======================
Insert FAT formatted USB drive.
pbx4 ~ # fdisk -l
--
...
Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id Type
/dev/sdb1 * 63 524159 524097 255.9M 6 FAT16
--
pbx4 ~ # mkdir /tmp/disk
pbx4 ~ # mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /tmp/disk
## Only needed to create a local repo on the USB drive, could be performed
outside of AstLinux if desired.
## Requires public network access.
pbx4 ~ # mkdir -p /tmp/disk/ast13se-firmware-1.x/genx86_64-serial
pbx4 ~ # cd /tmp/disk/ast13se-firmware-1.x/genx86_64-serial/
pbx4 genx86_64-serial # curl -LO
https://astlinux-project.org/mirror/ast13se-firmware-1.x/genx86_64-serial/ver
pbx4 genx86_64-serial # curl -LO
https://astlinux-project.org/mirror/ast13se-firmware-1.x/genx86_64-serial/astlinux-1.4.6.tar.gz
pbx4 genx86_64-serial # curl -LO
https://astlinux-project.org/mirror/ast13se-firmware-1.x/genx86_64-serial/astlinux-1.4.6.tar.gz.sha1
## End of create a local repo on the USB drive
## Now assume the USB drive was pre-configured and skip the above "create a
local repo" commands.
## Check the local repo files:
pbx4 ~ # cd
pbx4 ~ # find /tmp/disk/ast13se-firmware-1.x/
/tmp/disk/ast13se-firmware-1.x/
/tmp/disk/ast13se-firmware-1.x/genx86_64-serial
/tmp/disk/ast13se-firmware-1.x/genx86_64-serial/ver
/tmp/disk/ast13se-firmware-1.x/genx86_64-serial/astlinux-1.4.6.tar.gz
/tmp/disk/ast13se-firmware-1.x/genx86_64-serial/astlinux-1.4.6.tar.gz.sha1
## Upgrade using the local (pre-configured) USB drive:
pbx4 ~ # upgrade-run-image check file:///tmp/disk/ast13se-firmware-1.x
Current version is: astlinux-1.4-5507-f21c6b, Newest available version is:
astlinux-1.4.6
pbx4 ~ # upgrade-run-image upgrade file:///tmp/disk/ast13se-firmware-1.x
Successful upgrade to: astlinux-1.4.6 [after reboot]
pbx4 ~ # cd
pbx4 ~ # umount /tmp/disk
pbx4 ~ # reboot ; exit
======================
And yes, this local repo method can be used for Runnix as well.
Lonnie
Tip -> For AstLinux 1.4.2 or later: If you have a exFAT formatted drive use
"mount -t exfat ..." instead of "mount -t vfat ..." above.
