Start-UDDashboard
This version introduces a new function for updating dashboards remotely. You can now use Update-UDDashboard to send new dashboard content to a remote dashboard. When starting a dashboard, you can now specify an UpdateToken to serve as a password for updating content.
This means that you can deploy a simple script that just starts a dashboard server on a remote machine without having to deploy the entire dashboard script contents. You can then update it remotely at any time.
Start-UDDashboard -Port 10000 -UpdateToken 1234
Update-UDDashboard -Url http://localhost:10000 -UpdateToken 1234 -Content {
New-UDDashboard -Title "Updated" -Content {
New-UDCard -Title "Update"
}
}
