DeviceHive is a popular open-source IoT device management platform that supports various communication protocols for deploying and managing IoT applications. Here's a step-by-step tutorial to help you install DeviceHive on Kali Linux Latest.
DeviceHive requires Java Development Kit (JDK) 8 or higher to be installed on Kali Linux. To install JDK 8, run the following command:
sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk
DeviceHive requires Apache Tomcat web server to be installed on your system. To install Apache Tomcat, run the following command:
sudo apt-get install tomcat8
Once installed, start the Apache Tomcat service with the following command:
sudo systemctl start tomcat8
DeviceHive requires MySQL server to store data. To install MySQL, run the following command:
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
During the installation process, you will be prompted to set a root password for MySQL. Set a secure password and remember it for future use.
Log in to MySQL with the following command:
mysql -u root -p
Enter the root password when prompted. Once logged in, create a new database for DeviceHive with the following command:
create database devicehive;
Download the latest version of DeviceHive from https://www.devicehive.com/download/. Choose the "DeviceHive Server" option and click on "Download".
Once downloaded, extract the files to a directory of your choice. In this tutorial, we will use the "devicehive-3.4.0" directory.
Navigate to the "devicehive-3.4.0/conf" directory and open the "devicehive.properties" file. Set the following configurations:
devicehive.cassandra.enabled=false
devicehive.database.type=mysql
devicehive.database.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/devicehive
devicehive.database.user=<MySQL_username>
devicehive.database.password=<MySQL_password>
Replace <MySQL_username> and <MySQL_password> with the MySQL username and password you set in Step 3.
Navigate to the "devicehive-3.4.0/bin" directory and run the following command to deploy DeviceHive:
sh devicehive.sh start
This will start the DeviceHive server.
Open your web browser and navigate to "http://localhost:8080". You should see the DeviceHive login page.
Log in with the following credentials:
Once logged in, you can start using DeviceHive.
With these simple steps, you can easily install DeviceHive on Kali Linux to manage your IoT devices. Remember to keep the devicehive.properties file updated and secure to avoid any security issues with your system. Happy coding!
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!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
