**Deprecation notice**
There is now a `balena-idle` command present in all balena base images. Here is a simple example on how to use it:
```
FROM balenalib/%%BALENA_MACHINE_NAME%%-alpine
CMD [ "balena-idle" ]
```
# Balena-idling
This is most likely the simplest + smallest base image you can use
with a resin.io device, basically just pulling in a base image,
then idling, while periodically printing to the logs that "Idling...".
There's one adjustable parameter: the period of how often "Idling..." is
recorded in the logs. By default it's 600s = 10min, you can change that by
setting an environmental variable called `INTERVAL` to an integer value of your
choosing.
You can use this project to:
* test deploying to your resin.io device the quickest way, or
* get your base image onto your device and develop your project by `resin ssh` into the container.
To use the smallest size, the [Alpine Linux](https://www.alpinelinux.org/) base
image was used, switch that `FROM` line in the `Dockerfile.template` to another
base if you'd like test (Debian, Fedora, or other base images that might be
available for your platform).
