OTA without IDE

Projects Programming
1

I have some small projects built around EPS8266-1. To make them movable I use WiFimanager. This is working well.
Now I want a method to be able to use OTA for updating. I can use Arduino IDE to create a binary. Is there a possibility to create something similar to WiFimanager to program the ESP using the binary without using IDE or cloud?

You can do a HTTPupdater

and here is a demo-code for the ESP8266

Thank you both, I will try that.
My goal is to do the coding at home and just put the binary in my iPhone and use it so that I don’t need the laptop in the field.
I have used both ota and wifimanager before, but not in the same project..

In that case just have a look at the HttpUpdater example

Thank you, I just tested it and it works perfectly.


/*
test WiFimgr and OTA

#include <ESP8266WiFi.h>
#include <ESP8266WebServer.h>
#include <ESP8266HTTPUpdateServer.h>
#include <WiFiManager.h>
#include <ESP8266mDNS.h>  // mDNS library

ESP8266WebServer server(80);
ESP8266HTTPUpdateServer httpUpdater;

const int ESP_BUILTIN_LED = 2;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);

  WiFiManager wm;
  bool res = wm.autoConnect("AutoConnectAP"); // Fallback AP if no known Wi-Fi

  if (!res) {
    Serial.println("Failed to connect");
    ESP.restart();
  }

  // mDNS Setup
  if (MDNS.begin("esp8266")) {  // Access via http://esp8266.local
    Serial.println("mDNS responder started");
  }

  httpUpdater.setup(&server);

  server.on("/", []() {
    server.send(200, "text/html", 
      "<h1>ESP8266 OTA Update</h1><p><a href='/update'>Update Firmware</a></p>");
  });

  server.begin();
  Serial.println("HTTP server started");

   pinMode(ESP_BUILTIN_LED, OUTPUT);
  
}

void loop() {
  server.handleClient();
  MDNS.update();
  
            digitalWrite(ESP_BUILTIN_LED, LOW);
            delay(1000);
            digitalWrite(ESP_BUILTIN_LED, HIGH);
            delay(1000);

}

Just an additional question.
I can make small adjustments in my code using the cloud editor on my iPhone. However I have to copy the edited code from the cloud editor to the IDE to be able to create a binary.
Is there some way to create the binary from the cloud editor?
