|
### 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mainflux is built with <3 by Mainflux [team](MAINTAINERS) and community contributors.
|
|
|
|
> **N.B. Mainlux is uder heavy development and not yet suitable for professional deployments**
|
|
|
|
### Install/Deploy
|
|
Mainflux uses [MongoDB](https://www.mongodb.com/), so insure that it is installed on your system (more info [here](https://github.com/Mainflux/mainflux-lite/blob/master/doc/dependencies.md)). You will also need MQTT broker running on default port 1883 - for example [Mosquitto](https://mosquitto.org/).
|
|
|
|
Installing Mainflux is trivial [`go get`](https://golang.org/cmd/go/):
|
|
```bash
|
|
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](https://github.com/Mainflux/mainflux-lite/blob/master/doc/install.md).
|
|
|
|
### 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:
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/Mainflux/mainflux.git && cd mainflux
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Start the Docker composition:
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker-compose up
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will automatically download Docker images from [Mainflux Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/u/mainflux/) 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`](https://github.com/Mainflux/mainflux/blob/master/docker-compose.yml).
|
|
|
|
### Features
|
|
An extensive (and incomplete) list of features includes:
|
|
- Responsive and scalable architecture based on a set of [microservices](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_proxy), [OAuth 2.0](http://oauth.net/2/) [identity management](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_management) and [RBAC](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Role-based_access_control) Authorization Server.
|
|
- [LwM2M](http://goo.gl/rHjLZQ) standard compliance
|
|
- [oneM2M](http://www.onem2m.org/) adapter
|
|
- Easy deployment and high system scalability via [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) images
|
|
