Thingsboard is an open-source IoT platform that allows you to monitor and manage your connected devices. In this tutorial, we will show you how to install Thingsboard on OpenSUSE.
First, you will need to install Java 8 or higher on your system. You can install Java using the following command:
sudo zypper in jdk8
Install PostgreSQL using the following command:
sudo zypper in postgresql postgresql-server
Next, initialize the database:
sudo systemctl enable postgresql
sudo systemctl start postgresql
sudo postgresql-setup initdb
Download Thingsboard from their official website https://thingsboard.io/
wget https://github.com/thingsboard/thingsboard/releases/download/v3.3.1/thingsboard-3.3.1.rpm
Next, install Thingsboard using the following command:
sudo zypper in thingsboard-3.3.1.rpm
To configure Thingsboard, you will need to edit the configuration file located at "/etc/thingsboard/conf/thingsboard.conf".
sudo nano /etc/thingsboard/conf/thingsboard.conf
Edit the following line to match your Postgres database configuration:
export DATABASE_ENTITIES_TYPE=pg
export DATABASE_TS_TYPE=pg
export DATABASE_URL=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/thingsboard
export DATABASE_ENTITIES=thingsboard
export DATABASE_TS=thingsboard
export DATABASE_PWD=YOUR_POSTGRES_PASSWORD_HERE
Next, start and enable the Thingsboard service:
sudo systemctl enable thingsboard
sudo systemctl start thingsboard
By default, Thingsboard runs on port 8080. You can access the Thingsboard dashboard by going to "http://localhost:8080" in your web browser.
In this tutorial, we have shown you how to install Thingsboard on OpenSUSE. You can now start monitoring and managing your connected devices using Thingsboard.
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!
