      I am not sure in which section I should ask this question, so I will do in general.

      Is anyone familiar with Balena Cloud services? (Balena.io) If so, do you think it would be possible to manage pfsense through Balena? Like partition the hard drive for pfsense and balena or just install 2nd drive with Balena on it on pfsense box?
      How hard is it or if even possible to configure Balena without coding knowledge?

      Its just kind of getting out hand to manage 40+ pfsense boxes remotely.

        Hmm, how do you imagine that would work?

        To deploy pfSense remotely?

        I don't think that can be done without significant development work.

          @stephenw10 No, no remote deployment. You flash pfsense box with Balena and pfsense locally and then put in the remote office. Then from Balena VPN - SSH into it and perform troubleshooting/configuration within containers? I am not a coder that's why I am asking this question.
