At AutoPi, we recognize that every customer has distinct management needs. Therefore, we provide two cloud usage alternatives: Device Management and AutoPi Fleet.
Multiple Device Management
Overview of devices
Get an overview of your devices from a central localtion. Dynamic overview widgets present Total Devices, Online Now, Pending Updates, and Errors in the last 24 hours—each widget links directly to its filtered list in the Dashboard documentation for fast troubleshooting. Communication metrics chart average and total reporting intervals for today and month-to-date at both fleet-wide and per-device levels, empowering you to identify connectivity gaps and schedule proactive maintenance before issues escalate.
Templating
Create a centralized library of configuration blueprints on the Templates page that lets you define and standardize every device setup at scale. Each template encapsulates your full device configuration—firmware versions, network settings, security credentials, and diagnostic profiles—so you eliminate manual per-unit tweaks and ensure consistency across your entire fleet.
Leverage advanced configuration sections to include custom Modules (Custom Code), override or extend default Services, define Triggers and Jobs for automated workflows, and configure both CAN-bus and PID Loggers for precise data capture. Built-in version control tracks every change, lets you compare revisions side-by-side, and roll back seamlessly whenever you need to revert to a known good state.
Streamline your operations by creating a new template with a descriptive name, tailoring settings, modules, and triggers to your exact requirements, then assigning devices in bulk via the Devices tab. With a single click on “Apply,” all associated devices receive the updated configuration instantly, or you can stage deployments per device for gradual rollouts. By minimizing manual configuration drift, Templates let you maintain uptime, simplify troubleshooting, and accelerate onboarding of new units across your fleet.
Multi tennant setup
Discover hierarchical multi-tenant device management on the Nested Customers page, enabling you to create isolated sub-accounts for distinct clients or business units. Each nested customer acts as an autonomous environment where you assign devices and users, ensuring that tenant-specific teams see only their own resources while your global administrators retain full oversight.
The permissions model enforces strict top-down isolation—nested users can access only the devices associated with their account, preventing cross-tenant visibility, while parent-level admins maintain comprehensive control over all nested customers. This structure guarantees compliance and security at scale, ideal for managed service providers, dealerships, and enterprises running segmented fleets.
Getting started is straightforward: on the Account page, click “Customers” to create a nested customer, then assign devices and add an admin user. Within minutes, each tenant has its own dashboard and user roles—streamlining onboarding, delegating management, and maintaining centralized control without manual configuration drift.
User permissions
Centralize user and account management on the Accounts page. Create Customers and Nested Customers to mirror your organizational structure, then add users under each account via the Users section. Configure global settings—time zone, units, and formats—at account level to ensure consistent data presentation across your teams.
Enforce precise access control by assigning users to permission groups in the Permissions subsection. Choose from Account Administrator for full user-management rights, Full Device Access and Device Management for hands-on device specialists, Nested Customer Administrator for sub-account oversight, or Fleet Management for vehicle-focused teams. Each group bundles the exact feature sets required—no more, no less—to maintain security and efficiency.
Refine access further by assigning Locations to users, limiting visibility to relevant geofences or sites. Review and revoke permissions at any time in the live user list, view last login and activity status, and manage device registrations under Manage Devices. With granular roles, location scoping, and real-time audit trails, you keep operations secure while empowering each team to work autonomously.
Deploy Docker
Deploy and manage Docker containers on every device at scale with our Docker setup guide. Define containerized services once and ship them everywhere—no local builds, no manual updates. Simply configure your AutoPi Cloud release with versioned images, startup parameters, and purge policies, then push to all targeted devices in one operation for instant, consistent deployments.
Securely pull from private registries by creating a Docker Registry entry with URL and credentials, so devices auto-authenticate and fetch images on boot. Organize your services under Projects, then publish multi-container Releases that bundle image tags, required labels, network modes, volume binds, and restart policies. Built-in version control tracks each release’s hash, devices deployed, and successful rollouts for full auditability and rollback safety.
Maintain visibility and control with remote modules: execute commands via the execute endpoint, retrieve results, and stream Container Logs directly from your dashboard. Releases apply automatically when devices idle—or trigger on-demand with a simple state call—so you keep your fleet up-to-date, troubleshoot in real time, and accelerate feature rollouts without ever touching the vehicle.
