# IoT Platform

## Docker

First install DockerDesktop and `docker-compose`:

- https://www.docker.com/products/docker-desktop/
- https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/

Then you can export a path to mount as a volume and spin up the containers:

```sh
export DATA_DIR = /some/path/to/mount
docker-compose --file software/container/docker-compose.yml up
```

### Mosquitto

```sh
mosquitto_sub -h localhost -t '#' -p 1883
mosquitto_pub -h localhost -p 1883 -t '/' -m $(date --utc +%s)
```

There is also a *very* usefuly tool to debug MQTT: [MQTT Explorer](https://github.com/thomasnordquist/MQTT-Explorer/), that is also available at [mqtt-explorer.com](https://mqtt-explorer.com/).

### Node-RED

NodeRed is running here: 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)! 

### InfluxDB

InfluxDb is running here: http://localhost:8086/

### Grafana
