# IoT Platform # IoT Prototyping Backend
## Overview
This project is a backend solution for prototyping Internet of Things (IoT) services. It leverages the power of Docker containers to easily integrate Grafana, InfluxDB, and Node-RED into a seamless, scalable, and robust backend system. The solution aims to provide rapid prototyping capabilities for IoT applications that need real-time data visualization, storage, and workflow automation.
## Features
* [Eclipse Mosquitto](https://mosquitto.org): MQTT broker
* [Grafana](https://grafana.com/): Real-time data visualization and monitoring dashboard
* [InfluxDB](https://www.influxdata.com/): High-performance data storage
* [Node-RED](https://nodered.org/): Flow-based development tool for visual programming and data flow automation
## Prerequisites
* [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/)
* [Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/)
* [Git](https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git)
## Installation
```sh
git clone https://github.com/your-repo/iot-backend-prototyping.git
cd iot-backend-prototyping
```
Launch Docker Containers
bash
docker-compose up -d

Then you can export a path to mount as a volume and spin up the containers:
```sh ```sh
export DATA_DIR = /some/path/to/mount
docker-compose --file software/container/docker-compose.yml up docker-compose --file software/container/docker-compose.yml up
``` ```
### Mosquitto ### Mosquitto
[Eclipse Mosquitto](https://mosquitto.org) is an open source message broker which implements a server for MQTT. It runs in Docker and is exposed on the default MQTT port `1883`. You can subscribe to and push into `topics`:
```sh ```sh
mosquitto_sub -h localhost -t '#' -p 1883 mosquitto_sub -h localhost -t '#' -p 1883
mosquitto_pub -h localhost -p 1883 -t '/' -m $(date --utc +%s) mosquitto_pub -h localhost -p 1883 -t '/' -m $(date --utc +%s)

### Node-RED ### Node-RED
NodeRed is running here: http://localhost:1880/ [Node-RED](https://nodered.org) is a programming tool for wiring together hardware devices, APIs and online services in new and interesting ways.
It provides a browser-based editor that makes it easy to wire together flows using the wide range of nodes in the palette that can be deployed to its runtime in a single-click
NodeRed is also running in Docker: http://localhost:1880/
A simple introduction to Node-RED can be found - along with the nodes / the code - in [this repository, please have a look](./software/flow/README.md)!
