Working remotely has many advantages, but you sometimes lack some infrastructure. Specially if you use several computers or you share space with other SUSE co-workers. We are 3 Susers in Gran Canaria and we plan to share an office. So we have bought a Cubietruck, a tiny device with minimum power consumption, an ARM processor, a SATA interface and a Gigabit ethernet.
The plan is to come-up with a set of recipes to configure such device to:
- Share the VPN connection.
- Nightly mirror images from dist.suse.de and, potentially, from the upcoming images repository.
- Provide a way to install those images via network.
- Provide some mechanism for sharing files in the local network.
- Host a nice landing page about the Gran Canaria office. :-)
- More ideas are welcome...
Hopefully everything powered by openSUSE (it would be great if somebody can help us with the initial installation, which I don't expect to be trivial in such device).
We will use the Raspberry scripts by Silvio as inspiration https://github.com/moio/raspberry-openvpn-gateway https://wiki.microfocus.net/index.php/OpenVPNonRaspberry_Pi

I see that my Wiki page https://en.opensuse.org/HCL:Cubietruck still has not been updated with instructions, but Tumbleweed "cubietruck" images are available at the usual location http://download.opensuse.org/ports/armv7hl/tumbleweed/images/ that you can trivially extract and dd to an SD card.

I already tried (with two different recent builds) and it failed to boot. It threw me to the u-boot menu. I had a very similar issue with ARMbian, by the way. Using Cubian (quite old) everything seems to run ok, so I'm sure its not a hardware problem.

Please report such problems with more details on the opensuse-arm mailing list. My setup is working fine, including the very latest v2016.01-rc1 U-Boot and both 4.3.0-2 and 4.4.rc3 kernels. Might be an issue with the JeOS image.

Although it's a work in progress (we're still polishing things), we have the system fully working. You can check the nice homepage (as long as the Cubietrack is still connected) and also you can take a look to the Gitlab project.
