Containers are getting a more and more popular way to distribute and run applications on server. Is that technology applicable to devices? And would it provide a good platform for Qt application?
Deploying embedded Qt applications in the field can be a complex task. By using containers you can deploy your application with it’s dependencies in a fail-safe way. Even if the deployment of the application fails the host system will still be working. This makes the usage of containers in embedded systems so useful. With Torizon, Toradex tries to provide a small and stable open source platform. Customers can deploy full blown container images that contain additional libraries and applications without having to touch the underlying system.
In this presentation we will see how easy it is to use Qt from within a container and how to deploy the container. The presentation will further give you an overview on containers in general and how you may benefit of a solution like Torizon which is based on Linux Micro Platform.
