Mainflux

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

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

For more details, check out the official documentation.

Features

• Protocol bridging (i.e. HTTP, MQTT, WebSocket, CoAP)
• Device management and provisioning
• Linearly scalable data storage
• Fine-grained access control
• Platform logging and instrumentation support
• Container-based deployment using Docker

Quickstart

Docker

To start the docker composition, execute the startup script from bin directory:

./mainflux-docker.sh start  

If the command successfully completes, you can verify that the all images are up & running by executing the following command in the terminal window:

docker ps

The composition can be terminated in the following way:

./mainflux-docker.sh stop

From sources

To download all the sources, and place them in appropriate locations (i.e. $GOPATH), use the installation script. Once it completes, the script will provide the instructions on how to finish the manual installation (i.e. install the required infrastructure).
