Watchdog for YunoHost

Read this README in other languages.

This package allows you to install Watchdog quickly and simply on a YunoHost server.
If you don't have YunoHost, please consult the guide to learn how to install it.

Overview

A watchdog service makes sure your server is still running and reboots it if necessary.
It better (only?) works if your server has a hardware watchdog device.

The included sercice will regularly write to /dev/watchdog. If it stops, then the freeze is detected and server rebooted.

This app has only been tested on Raspberry Pi.
