On the Edge

Software for edge gateways to work with the gateway platform.

Setup

• Install node.js v12.x

# Using Ubuntu
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | sudo -E bash -
sudo apt-get install -y nodejs

# Using Debian, as root
curl -sL https://deb.nodesource.com/setup_12.x | bash -
apt-get install -y nodejs

Reference: https://github.com/nodesource/distributions/blob/master/README.md

• Install other essential packages
  apt install cron build-essential libudev-dev openssh-server git-all mosquitto mosquitto-clients

• Add this to /etc/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf for accessing mqtt streams over websocket:

listener 1883 0.0.0.0 

listener 9001 0.0.0.0
protocol websockets

• Add a config file named config.json in utils/ which contains:
  (1) The network interface that the gateway uses for its backhaul network.
  Note: Ensure that this interface uses IPv4
  (2) The Group Key used to uniquely identify a gateway group.

For e.g.:

{
  "network": {
    "interface": "wlan0"
  },
  "groupKey": {
    "key": "95CFEF1B1F1F5FAAC6954BC1BD713081",
    "iv": "6F2E2CEE52C1AB42"
  }
}
