DeviceHive is an open-source platform for building IoT solutions. It helps to manage devices, collects and stores data from them, and provides an API for interacting with devices. In this tutorial, we will learn how to install DeviceHive on NetBSD.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following:
Git clone DeviceHive repository by running the following command:
git clone https://github.com/devicehive/devicehive-java-server.git
This command will clone the repository to your current directory.
Go to the devicehive-java-server directory by running the following command:
cd devicehive-java-server
Now, copy the default configuration file:
cp src/main/resources/config.properties src/main/resources/config.local.properties
Open the config.local.properties file using any text editor:
nano src/main/resources/config.local.properties
In this file, you can modify the settings according to your needs. For example, you can change the default port (HTTP_PORT), database settings (DATABASE_URL, DATABASE_USER, DATABASE_PASSWORD).
Build the DeviceHive server using the following command:
./mvnw clean install
This command will compile the code, run tests, and create an executable jar file for running the server.
To run the DeviceHive server, execute the following command:
java -cp target/devicehive-2.x.x.jar:target/lib/* com.devicehive.application.DeviceHiveApplication
Replace 2.x.x with the current version of DeviceHive.
The DeviceHive server should now start running on the configured port.
In this tutorial, we have learned how to install DeviceHive on NetBSD. You can modify the settings according to your needs and use it for building IoT solutions.
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!
