About
Mainflux is lean open source industrial IoT cloud written in NodeJS.
It allows device, user and application connections over various network protocols, like HTTP, MQTT, WebSocket and CoAP, making a seamless bridge between them. As a consequence, Mainflux represents highly secure and highly optimised M2M platform based on the cutting-edge standards and approaches in the industry.

Install
Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/Mainflux/mainflux.git
cd mainflux
Install Node modules:
npm install
Run Gulp Task:
gulp
N.B. Mainflux has a MongoDB dependency. Database path and port can be defined in the config files.
Docker
Apart from main nodejs Docker image, Mainflux also uses mongo Docker image (database instance is run in a separte generic Docker image).
This is why Mainflux uses Docker Compose, to run both nodejs and mongo images at the same time and make a connection between them:
docker-compose up
