A Preview of TinyPilot Cloud
October 12, 2021
One of the most common requests from TinyPilot customers is to access their TinyPilot devices over the Internet. While solutions do exist, they all involve third-party tools that can be difficult to configure.
TinyPilot Cloud
We're working on a service called TinyPilot Cloud that will give you secure, remote access to your TinyPilot device anywhere that you have Internet.
You don't need to tinker with your firewall or adjust your router settings. TinyPilot Cloud "just works" without any configuration changes or software installation.
How it works
We want TinyPilot Cloud to be as easy to use as possible. The screenshots below are a preview of what the service will look like once it's ready.
Adding a device to TinyPilot Cloud
From your TinyPilot web interface, you'll be able to bring up a "Connect to TinyPilot Cloud" dialog.
Clicking "Connect to TinyPilot Cloud" will bring you to your secure TinyPilot Cloud dashboard.
Confirming the device
After clicking "Connect to TinyPilot Cloud," you'll confirm adding the new device to your TinyPilot Cloud dashboard.
Access all of your TinyPilot devices
Your TinyPilot Cloud account shows you all of the TinyPilot devices you own.
As long as the devices are running and connected to the Internet, you can access them and manage your computers remotely through the TinyPilot Cloud dashboard.
Access TinyPilot via TinyPilot Cloud
Clicking the "View" button for one of your TinyPilot devices brings you to its web interface.
Notice that the URL is not your local TinyPilot device hostname but rather an Internet-accessible URL that grants secure access from your TinyPilot Cloud account.
Cost
TinyPilot Cloud will cost $30/month for up to five TinyPilot devices and $3/month for each additional device.
