- Test of the server
To feed the server, we're now able to copy new firmwares in the folder `/srv/tasmota/fw_server/fw` with `XYZ` user rights. It can be done with `scp` or `samba` for instance.
Let's upload `firmware.bin` into the folder, the service can be tested from any browser by issuing the address `http://<ip_address>:5000/firmware.bin` were <ip_address> is the adress of the linux server.

If you reboot the server, the service should startup again.
If your notice that the OTA mechanism is broken, try at first to download the served file from a browser. If you can't, then check the status of the service as said above. After a power failure, it may happen that your wlan0 IP resolves to an invalid value like `169.254.5.153` because your LAN gateway was not ready.
Login as root in a Terminal session and enter:
```
# systemctl restart tasmota.service
> systemctl status tasmota.service
```
if you recognize the IP of your server on the last status line, it should be OK now... OTA service restored!
Now if you want PlatformIO to be able to upload your compiled binaries to the local server, you'll still have to setup `ssh` with `ssh-keygen` in order to use the Tasmota script `pio/sftp-uploader.py` without password.
