A minor plug, if you're doing ESP8266/ESP32 development, you can use the following code snippet and server I wrote to do automatic, secure updates over pinned HTTPS:

This is the server, a single binary (written in Rust):

https://gitlab.com/stavros/espota-server

The device will connect to the server (whenever you call doHttpUpdate(), I usually do it on startup), ask for a new version, get the latest version, flash itself with it and then boot.

Very handy, as it's faster than USB/UART, and you don't have to disconnect from the serial console to use it.
