Hello everyone,

In case this helps, here is a workaround we had to come up with after the iotbox stopped working in production environment, randomly.
We are based in China, and github\.com\ may\ not\ always\ be\ accessible\ without\ a\ proxy\.
As\ such,\ the\ iotbox\ boot\ script\ fails\ randomly\ \(it\ clones\ certain\ modules\ of\ the\ odoo\ community\ repo\),\ which\ can\ end\ up\ in\ a\ crash\ of\ the\ odoo\ service\ on\ the\ iotbox\ \(devices\ are\ not\ detected,\ nothing\ gets\ printed\ on\ connected\ printers\)\.
Somehow\ this\ behavior\ also\ happened\ when\ we\ unticked\ the\ box\ download\ automatic\ upgrades\ in\ odoo\ enterprise/iotbox\ app\.

To\ fix\ this,\ we\ modified\ the\ remote\ source\ of\ the\ updates\ to\ use\ a\ gitlab.com mirror of the odoo official repository.
Gitlab usually works better in China, but it could be also replaced by a self hosted instance domestically.

To apply this workaround:
1. Make sure to modify the script below to use your gitlab credentials/repository (otherwise, it will NOT work)
2. Connect to the iotbox over ssh
3. Copy paste the script below, press enter
4. That's it, the upgrade should apply and be persisted on reboot.

Reminder, change the text below with your credentials:
- GITLAB_PATH
- GITLAB_USER
- GITLAB_PASSWORD
