Hello Neil, Thank you for using Mender! Since I’m directly involved with the development of the GUI I’m sorry to hear that you found an issue with it. However I'm all ears and would like to get this fixed asap, so please let me know using hub.mender.io, the support@hosted.mender.io address you already know or find my address in my profile.

Hi Manuel, thanks for the comment. I reached out a few times to support and never heard back. It does look like most of my issues were quietly resolved later, but we ended up abandoning the dashboard and using the API directly for a lot of tasks. If I'm being honest, I don't have a lot of confidence in Mender's reliability due to those experiences. However, it's mender-convert's limited device list that is really driving the search for an alternative.

Hi, I am also working with the Mender project and we have been in touch earlier.

The device support for mender-convert will be drastically widened (actually, there will not be any limit as such) in the Mender 2.3 release, beta ETA in a week or two and final in March. But you can already test it with the development branch today: https://docs.mender.io/development/devices/debian-family

There will also be stock converted images for the most common development boards.

Let us know what you think!
