In the past articles I independently sat up an Eclipse Kapua service using Docker containers and installed Eclipse Kura on a Raspberry Pi. Now its time to connect these and see what happens. Preparing Kapua At first, since Kapua is a multi-tenant installation, we need to create an organisation and an admin user in this […]
This blog continues the blogs: Mongoose a new way to program ESP8266 Preparing Google Cloud IoT Core to Receive Messages and will cover how to change the ESP8266 Code for the sensor to be able to communicate with Google Cloud IoT Core. Connecting the ESP to your computer If you have disconnected your ESP from […]
In this blog we will connect the Mongoose OS based ESP8266 with Google Cloud IoT Core and Google Cloud Pub/Sub, which we will be using for it’s MQTT Broker capability. We will not cover the basics of handling and navigating in Google Cloud Console, if you are new to it, please do look at the learning […]
In previous blogs, I have used Arduine-IDE to develop code for the ESP8266. It was a nice and convenient way, suitable for me with a background in development. Recently I came across a new technology, that I wanted to give a try: Mongoose OS Similar to my previous setup, I will be using a NodeMCU […]
Now that I have a running Kapua instance, its time to look at the network edge to gateways and devices. Eclipse Kura is a Java/OSGi-based framework for IoT gateways. A gateway is a devices that is distributed at the network edges and communicates with sensor or steering devices using cables, Bluetooth or other private networks. Sins […]
Today I start with taking a deeper look at Eclipse Kapua. It is a modular IoT cloud platform to manage and integrate devices and their data. My goal for the next weeks will be to demonstrate a multi-tenant capable installation of Eclipse Kapua on OpenShift, connecting several IoT devices and gateways to it. As a […]
Currently I play with IoT devices and connected “things”, and as much they fascinate me, mostly they are quite locked and when the vendor loses interest, money or disappears from the market, these things mutate to ubiquitous threads and begin to scare me. Sure, most of the stuff is built on Linux, but passwords or […]
This walk-through example will encourage you to build an Apache Camel application from scratch, deploy it in a Kubernetes environment, gather metrics using Prometheus and display them in Grafana. Monitoring will automatically adjust when the system scales up or down. Table of Contents Introduction About Prometheus To-Do overview Scraping data The application Enabling Prometheus Enabling […]
Introduction The Feedhenry Raincatcher project provides a framework for building Workforce Management (WFM) solutions that includes a mobile hybrid app, a management portal web app and a server that manages synchronization of work orders between the portal and the mobile apps. The synchronization technology is built on the Feedhenry Datasync framework. Deploying the mobile, portal […]
If you think about Release Management with OpenShift, you’re automatically thinking about Jenkins. With Jenkins you can easily setup a Release Pipeline for your App(s) and Jenkins is tightly integrated into OpenShift. There are a lot of Demos out there which are describing the best practices of using it. And OpenShift becomes more and more […]
