# balena ## Docs - [Testing one-two](https://balena-drskullster-tests-mintlify.mintlify.app/TESTING.md): This is the test file - [Accessing a Device using a Gateway Device](https://balena-drskullster-tests-mintlify.mintlify.app/faq/debugging-device-gateway.md): It may not always be possible to access the device directly, especially if the the VPN component isn't working. - [Storage Media Debugging](https://balena-drskullster-tests-mintlify.mintlify.app/faq/debugging-storage-media.md): Sometimes issues occur with the media being used (the medium that balenaOS and all other data is stored on, for example an SD card or eMMC drive). - [FAQs](https://balena-drskullster-tests-mintlify.mintlify.app/faq/questions.md) - [Troubleshooting information for Raspberry Pi 5 ](https://balena-drskullster-tests-mintlify.mintlify.app/faq/troubleshooting/raspberrypi5.md) - [Support access](https://balena-drskullster-tests-mintlify.mintlify.app/learn/accounts/support-access.md) - [Deploy to your fleet](https://balena-drskullster-tests-mintlify.mintlify.app/learn/deploy/deployment.md): On balenaCloud, when we deploy code to devices grouped in a fleet, they all run what we refer to as a release. - [Release policy ](https://balena-drskullster-tests-mintlify.mintlify.app/learn/deploy/release-strategy/release-policy.md): When managing a fleet, you may require devices to be running different releases. By default, fleets follow a rolling release policy where new releases are deployed to all devices in the fleet once successfully built. However, you can customize this behavior, so the fleet or individual devices remain… - [Develop locally](https://balena-drskullster-tests-mintlify.mintlify.app/learn/develop/local-mode.md): Local mode is the development mode for balena. It allows you to build and sync code to a single development device in your local network without having to go through the balenaCloud build service and deployment pipeline. It uses the Docker daemon on the device to build container images, and then the… - [Getting started: Raspberry Pi 5 and Node.js](https://balena-drskullster-tests-mintlify.mintlify.app/learn/getting-started/raspberrypi5/nodejs.md): In this guide, we will help you get started with balenaCloud by: - [Welcome](https://balena-drskullster-tests-mintlify.mintlify.app/learn/welcome/introduction.md): [Balena](https://balena.io/) makes it easy to deploy code to fleets of connected devices, bringing the power of Linux containers to the edge. We've optimized the cloud paradigm for remote devices, taking familiar container workflows and custom building for low overhead, high reliability, and out-of-… - [Core Concepts: A balena primer](https://balena-drskullster-tests-mintlify.mintlify.app/learn/welcome/primer.md): The balena platform encompasses device, server, and client software, all designed to get your code securely deployed to a fleet of devices. The broad strokes are easy to grasp: once your device is set up with our [host OS](https://docs.balena.io/reference/OS/overview/2.x/), you can push code to the… - [Going to production](https://balena-drskullster-tests-mintlify.mintlify.app/learn/welcome/production-plan.md): Deploying a fleet of remote, connected devices requires some careful planning. A proper solution needs to take into account where the devices will be deployed, what the devices need to do, how the devices will be maintained, and of course, the available budget. To help you get started we've outlined… - [Security](https://balena-drskullster-tests-mintlify.mintlify.app/learn/welcome/security.md): Balena takes your fleet’s security very seriously. We understand that your data and devices are valuable and often critical, and we take precautions to ensure that your devices and data are not compromised. - [Customer Board Support](https://balena-drskullster-tests-mintlify.mintlify.app/reference/OS/customer-board-support.md): We can support your hardware in two ways: - [Self-service updates](https://balena-drskullster-tests-mintlify.mintlify.app/reference/OS/updates/self-service.md) - [Device Types](https://balena-drskullster-tests-mintlify.mintlify.app/reference/hardware/versioning.md): A device type in balena describes a [SoC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_on_a_chip) or group of SoCs that have the same boot configuration and are capable of booting the same Operating system. When a new device type is created, it is usually because the SoC or configuration is distinctly diffe… - [WiFi adapters and Modems](https://balena-drskullster-tests-mintlify.mintlify.app/reference/hardware/wifi-dongles.md): Balena's software validation is only doing a [sanity check](https://github.com/balena-os/meta-balena/tree/1fb02321afaaea4e43e296ae556e628a1dfed530/tests/suites/os/tests/modem) on features that are commonly required by balenaOS. To run these tests, we use a sample modem with the driver provided by th… - [Device Metrics](https://balena-drskullster-tests-mintlify.mintlify.app/reference/supervisor/device-metrics.md): The balena Supervisor reports metrics about your device to the cloud. These metrics are available on your balenaCloud dashboard, on the device summary page: ## Optional - [Status](https://status.balena.io/) - [Contact Us](https://www.balena.io/contact) - [Blog](https://blog.balena.io)
