Wan Management for remote cabinet
-
Hi guys, Spent a few hours searching before posting here.
We build custom arcade cabinets and have a barcade, so we know what we're doing.
Well i thought we did.
My partner insisited that Retropie can be managed over the internet remotely.
Weve just sold our first retropie cabinet with the expectation that we can remote in for updates, new games etc...
Now I need to get in, everything I read however points to SSH and other network functionality being strictly local.Is this truly the case, or is there a way to open up the retropie for full remote WAN access and config?
If not remotely, is there a retropie version of teamviewer or similar WAN managemenet tools?
Even if its hard, let me know. WE can probably understand it and this is part of a standard deployment so we need to sort this out.
Thanks

You are selling retropie-based devices?
Are you aware of the fact that you are not allowed to do so? -

A few emulators included with RetroPie have non-commercial licenses, so it's illegal to sell products including them. Also, the games you want to upload - are they sold/distributed legally ?

@sirhenrythe5th You aren't aware of the specifics, and it doesn't answer the question. If you have nothing useful to contribute its probably better not to post

@mitu: just to get it right.
As i understand it selling, or even give it as a free goodie, retropie, is not allowed at all.
Concerning to this statement on the HP:"The image we provide is Raspbian Lite with RetroPie pre-installed. Much of the software included in the RetroPie image have non-commercial licences. Because of this selling a pre-installed RetroPie image is not legal – this includes “giving away” a pre-installed RetroPie with your commercial product. Including copyrighted games with RetroPie is also not allowed."
I dont want to annoy you(!!!), i just want to understand what is allowed/possible, and what is not ;)

This is the license for the RetroPie image. If you have a manually built system which excludes any emulator which with non-commercial license, then you are ok. Sure, the games also have to be licensed and such.

@retrobop your response is not re-assuring and the questions raised by @sirhenrythe5th and me are relevant, since they're related to the legality of your RetroPie usage.
I guess the legality of distributing open source software is no concern to you though. Good bye.EDIT: I restored the original topic starter, without it the topic replies don't make any sense.
