IoT Hub for things

this project is a multiroom echo server using websockets, you could have any sensor sending data to a room and have any other device join that room to read the data in realtime

This project requires Go to be installed. On OS X with Homebrew you can just run brew install go.

Running it then should be as simple as:

$ make
$ ./bin/iothub

Running with -version will get you the current version and git commit hash for the binary

$ ./bin/iothub -version

IoT Hub uses environment variables for configuration all of them are prefixed with IOTHUB.

• IOTHUB_JSON_LOGS defaults to false, if true it will output log in json format.
• IOTHUB_LOGLEVEL defaults to debug
• IOTHUB_MODE this sets the gin mode, defaults to debug, other options are release and test
• IOTHUB_LISTEN_ADDRESS defaults to ":5000"
• IOTHUB_SECRET defaults to "887yff9898yfhuiew3489fy3hewfuig239f8ghew32yfh" it is higly recomended to change this
• IOTHUB_SECURE defaults to false (this will enable SSL and requires to have cert_file and key_files set)
• IOTHUB_READ_TIMEOUT defaults to 10 seconds "0m10s"
• IOTHUB_WRITE_TIMEOUT defaults to 10 seconds "0m10s"
• IOTHUB_MAX_HEADER_BYTES defaults to 1mb 1048576 bytes

when IOTHUB_SECRET is set to true the following is also required

• IOTHUB_CERT_FILE SSL certificate file path
• IOTHUB_KEY_FILE SSL Key file path

a note on logging, debug is very verbose as it outputs all the messages the server receives

you can generate your certificates using lego

$ openssl req  -nodes -new -x509 -newkey rsa:4096 -keyout ssl/server.key -out ssl/server.crt

make test

• base project created with cookiecutter-golang
• Uses gin for http/s
• Uses melody for websockets
• Uses logrus for logging
• Uses viper for config
