simple-local-gateway-console

EdgeX Foundry local gateway devices management platform

why need simple-local-gateway-console

1. After the user runs the EdgeX Foundry,they often do not know what to do next,the console will help users to quickly use and understand EdgeX Foundry.
2. For developers to test, they don't have to assemble complex JSON data in order to add a device,etc.

developer IDE:

spring tool suite(STS)

program language and third-party framework:

• javascript
• css
• html
• jquery
• bootstrap
• awesome font lib
• Echarts

CORS proxy:

use netflix zuul proxy technology

config proxy to edgexfoundry microservice to solve CORS

zuul.routes.core-command.path=/core-command/**
#there will be dynamic revserse proxy,don't hard-code config there if you want to manage multi-gateway
#zuul.routes.core-command.url=http://10.117.170.136:48082/

zuul.routes.core-metadata.path=/core-metadata/**
zuul.routes.core-data.path=/core-data/**
zuul.routes.core-export.path=/core-export/**
zuul.routes.rule-engine.path=/rule-engine/**

how to start:

• copy the docker-files folder to your host.
• the administrator account is admin/admin,you can custom account in application.properties file before you start the app.

Under the docker-files folder,execute the following command:

java -jar -Dspring.config.location=./application.properties simple-edgex-foundry-console.jar &
