Developing IoT Mashups with Docker, MQTT, Node-RED, InfluxDB, Grafana

Page for the tutorial " Developing IoT Mashups with Docker, MQTT, Node-RED, InfluxDB, Chronograf, Grafana " at Eclipse IoT Days Grenoble 2016



=Introduction=

[[Media:IoT-Mashup.pdf|presentation ...]]

The goal of this tutorial is building rapidly a minimal IoT stack from sensors to dataviz and realtime analytics.

The hardware compoments used in this stack are:
 * various (wireless) sensors,
 * USB radio modems plugged into embedded IoT gateways,
 * Raspberry Pi 1 and 2 playing the role of embedded IoT gateways,
 * Your PC/Mac playing the role of the IoT datacenter server,
 * A t2 micro AWS instance playing the role of the IoT datacenter server if a public IP address is required (case for Sigfox callback).

The software compoments used in this IoT stack are :
 * Docker,
 * Node.js and NPM,
 * Node-RED and node contributions,
 * Mosquitto
 * InfluxDB
 * MongoDB
 * Chronograf
 * Grafana (not on RPI)
 * Spark (not on RPI)

Those software compoments are preinstalled on the Raspian Jessie distribution of the Raspberry PI boards in order to speed the installation and prevent WiFi whims.

Tools are:
 * vi
 * Arduino IDE
 * Waspmote IDE
 * MBed IDE
 * Energia for TI SensorTag2

Security, Avaibility and Performance issues are not in the scope of this tutorial.

Radio communication technologies are : Wifi, BLE, LoRa, SigFox, NFC and Rfxcom 433 MHz.

Info: the username and password on the RPIs are  and
