About

Mainflux is modern open source and patent-free IoT cloud platform written in Go.

It allows device, user and application connections over various network protocols, like HTTP, MQTT, WebSocket and CoAP, making a seamless bridge between them. It is used as the IoT middleware for building complex IoT solutions.

Cloud Architecture

Mainflux is built with <3 by Mainflux team and community contributors.

N.B. Mainlux is uder heavy development and not yet suitable for professional deployments

Install/Deploy

Mainflux uses MongoDB, so insure that it is installed on your system (more info here). You will also need MQTT broker running on default port 1883 - for example Mosquitto.

Installing Mainflux is trivial go get:

go get github.com/mainflux/mainflux
$GOBIN/mainflux

If you are new to Go, more information about setting-up environment and fetching Mainflux Lite code can be found here.

Docker

Running Mainflux in a Docker is even easier, as it will launch whole composition of microservices, so you do not have to care about dependencies.

  • Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/Mainflux/mainflux.git && cd mainflux
  • Start the Docker composition:
docker-compose up

This will automatically download Docker images from Mainflux Docker Hub and deploy the composition.

System Architecture

Mainflux IoT cloud is composed of several components, i.e. microservices:

  • Mainflux Core (HTTP API Server and Admin)
  • Authentication and Authorization Server
  • MQTT PUB/SUB Broker (and WebSocket Server)
  • Mongo Database
  • Dashflux UI

Docker composition that constitues Mainflux IoT infrastructure is defined in the docker-compose.yml.

Features

An extensive (and incomplete) list of features includes:

  • Responsive and scalable architecture based on a set of microservices
  • Set of clean APIs: HTTP RESTful, MQTT, WebSocket and CoAP
  • SDK - set of client libraries for many HW platforms in several programming languages: C/C++, JavaScript, Go and Python
  • Device management and provisioning and OTA FW updates
  • Highly secured connections via TLS and DTLS
  • Enhanced and fine-grained security via Reverse Proxy, OAuth 2.0 identity management and RBAC Authorization Server.
  • LwM2M standard compliance
  • oneM2M adapter
  • Easy deployment and high system scalability via Docker images
  • Clear project roadmap, extensive development ecosystem and highly skilled developer community
  • And many more
