LVFS (Linux Vendor Firmware Service) Celebrates 9th Birthday
Happy Birthday to the LVFS
9 years ago today I wrote 4 little PHP scripts and pushed it to OpenShift which was the beginning of the LVFS. We’ve since rewritten it in Python, switched the deployment from “sudo git pull” on the server under my stairs at home (literally) to deploying onto AWS with Terraform.
In 9 years we’ve onboarded over 140 vendors, shipped ~110 million firmware files and added support for ~85 firmware update protocols for ~1600 different devices. I’m pretty happy with that.
