A premise:

I do not use my tiiny connected to a PC, but only to the LAN. All of my apps reside on an Ubuntu server VM created inside my NAS as it's powered on H24.
All my software are just services with a web interface on a specific port, so I only need a web browser to access them. The VM is inside a Zerotier network, so I can access it from my pc at work or from my tablet everywhere in the world.

Everything works fine, but with Tiiny I had a big problem: if I'm not at my home pc (where Tiiny software is installed) how can I download or upgrade models?

So I created (with some help from Tiiny itself) this simple manager as another service on my VM:

I can check the main parameters of the device and manage all the llms. It also shows when a model can be upgraded and you can do that with a single button (on Tiiny software you have to delete the model and download it again).

Please note that I give no support on the software as I really have no time for this, but your Tiiny can surely help you. The file README.md contains instructions to install it on Ubuntu. I did not test it on other platforms, but there should not be issues on other linux systems (like Raspberry Pi OS) as long as there is Python 3 installed. To run it as a permanent service (so you do not need to run it manually) just ask to your Tiiny.

I hope this can be useful to other people that use Tiiny only LAN connected like me.
