In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing DeviceHive on EndeavourOS.
DeviceHive is an open-source IoT platform that enables communication between devices, data management, and analytics. By installing DeviceHive on your EndeavourOS, you can build and manage IoT solutions in a hassle-free way.
So, let's get started with the installation process.
Before you start with the installation of DeviceHive, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
If you don’t have these prerequisites installed, please install them before continuing with the installation of DeviceHive.
To install DeviceHive, follow the steps below:
Open the terminal on your EndeavourOS.
Navigate to the directory where you want to install DeviceHive.
Clone the DeviceHive repository by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/devicehive/devicehive-java-server.git
Navigate to the cloned repository directory:
cd devicehive-java-server
Build the project using Maven:
mvn clean install
Once the build process is complete, navigate to the devicehive-websocket-proxy directory:
cd devicehive-websocket-proxy/target/
Then type the following command to deploy DeviceHive to Tomcat:
cp devicehive-websocket-proxy-*/devicehive-websocket-proxy-*.war /var/lib/tomcat8/webapps/devicehive.war
Note: If you have a different version of Tomcat, replace /var/lib/tomcat8/webapps with the appropriate path for your system.
After successful completion of the above steps, DeviceHive will be installed on your EndeavourOS.
To create a database and user for DeviceHive, follow the steps below:
Login to PostgreSQL with your administrative credentials:
sudo su postgres
psql
Create a new user for DeviceHive:
CREATE USER devicehive WITH PASSWORD 'devicehive';
Note: Replace devicehive with the appropriate username and password as per your preference.
Create a new database for DeviceHive:
CREATE DATABASE devicehive OWNER devicehive;
Grant all privileges to the DeviceHive user for the newly created database:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON DATABASE devicehive TO devicehive;
Exit the PostgreSQL prompt:
\q
exit
To configure DeviceHive, follow the steps below:
Navigate to the devicehive-java-server directory:
cd ~/devicehive-java-server
Open the devicehive-server/src/main/resources/application.properties file in your preferred editor:
nano devicehive-server/src/main/resources/application.properties
Change the following properties in the application.properties file:
devicehive.client.response-timeout=60000
devicehive.device.register-response-timeout=120000
devicehive.device.send-notification-wait-timeout=15000
devicehive.device.notify-response-timeout=120000
devicehive.websocket.client-uri=ws://localhost:8080/devicehive/websocket
devicehive.websocket.uri=ws://localhost:8080/devicehive/websocket/admin
# PostgreSQL Database Configuration
spring.datasource.url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/devicehive
spring.datasource.username=devicehive
spring.datasource.password=devicehive
Note: Change the URI and database configuration properties as per your system configuration.
Save and close the application.properties file.
To start the Tomcat and PostgreSQL service, follow the steps below:
Start the Tomcat service:
sudo systemctl start tomcat8
Start the PostgreSQL service:
sudo systemctl start postgresql
To verify DeviceHive installation, follow the steps below:
Open your favorite web browser.
Type http://localhost:8080/devicehive in the URL bar of your browser.
Enter the following credentials:
Username: admin
Password: admin123
Once you enter the credentials, you should be able to see the DeviceHive dashboard.
Congratulations! You have successfully installed DeviceHive on your EndeavourOS Latest. You can now begin developing IoT solutions with DeviceHive.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
