Today marks a significant milestone for awaBerry: the first public release of awaBerry Remote is online and ready for you to explore. Version 1.0 delivers the foundational capability we have been building toward — zero-friction, zero-trust remote access to the Linux devices you already own.

What awaBerry Remote 1.0 Delivers

At its core, awaBerry Remote solves a problem that anyone who works with headless Linux or system-on-a-chip (SoC) hardware knows well: getting a device onto your network in the first place, without plugging in a keyboard and monitor, is unnecessarily hard. Version 1.0 changes that.

The awaBerry Remote agent runs an integrated hotspot on first boot. You connect to it from your phone or laptop, open the awaBerry interface, and enter the name and password of the Wi-Fi network you want the device to join. The device connects, the hotspot closes, and from that moment on you can reach your device from anywhere in the world — no port forwarding, no static IP, no VPN.

Web-Based SSH

Once your device is connected, awaBerry Remote provides a full web-based SSH terminal accessible directly from your browser. There is no need to install an SSH client, configure key pairs locally, or open port 22 to the internet. The terminal session runs over an encrypted outbound HTTPS tunnel established by the device agent — the device initiates the connection, so nothing is ever exposed inbound.

This means you can reach your Raspberry Pi, your industrial SoC, or any headless Linux box from a café, an office, or your phone — with the same security guarantees as if you were sitting on a private network.

Supported Hardware

Version 1.0 supports any Linux device capable of running the awaBerry Remote agent, including:

  • Raspberry Pi (all models with Wi-Fi)
  • Orange Pi, Banana Pi, and compatible SoC boards
  • Standard x86-64 Linux installations (headless servers, VMs)
  • Any Debian or Ubuntu based distribution

Getting Started

Installation is a single command. Head to the User Manual for full setup instructions and a quick-start guide. If you run into anything, our support team is ready to help.

This is just the beginning. We have a clear and ambitious roadmap ahead, and version 1.0 is the foundation everything else will be built upon. Thank you for being here from the start.
