We love Kubernetes and the standardized API it brings to deploying applications in the cloud. For running a local instance of Drogue Cloud, minikube is already a great alternative. But sometimes, you just want to have an easy getting started experience, to reduce turnaround time when testing changes to Drogue Cloud itself, or for running in environments where Kubernetes is not available.
Read on to learn how you can run Drogue Cloud standalone.
Earlier we've seen examples of drogue device using LoRaWAN using an STM32 discovery board. Since then, the hardware support in the community has improved even more.
The 0.7 release cycle ran through summer and with that, two things happened: people got on vacation, and Google Summer of Code was going on. So instead of forcing out a release, we decided to just wait and release at a later time. By the way, a decision we discussed during our open community calls: come and join!
This article shows how you can setup X.509 certificates to authenticate devices connecting to Drogue Cloud and an example of how drg makes it easy.
We recently added a websocket endpoint in drogue cloud, to easily get a stream of events for an application, using the well-known websocket protocol. Let's have a look and build a small demo apps to consume events.
As we all know, the S in IoT stands for security. However, one reason IoT has a bad security track record is that it consumes a lot of resources and is not that easy to setup. One piece of this puzzle is having good client side libraries for doing TLS. Read on to learn more about how you can secure your device to cloud communication.
Drogue Cloud 0.6.0 ran a bit late. But, it is ready when it is ready! This time, the focus was more on improving on what we already have. And taking a look back, we improved a lot.
In the previous post we introduced Func project as a very useful framework for writing serverless functions in the Knative world. The post ended with the question what can we do with it? So let's explore one practical use case now.
What does embedded development and WebAssembly have in common? Turns out it's quite a lot! Read on to see how Drogue Device can run in your browser.
For most IoT developers, drogue-cloud is designed to be used "as a service". But if you have admin access to the cluster on which drogue-cloud is running, i.e. you installed it yourself on minikube or kind, it's possible to "extend" the platform by triggering a function each time an event from a device is processed.
