hawkBit Update Server

The hawkBit Update Server is a standalone spring-boot application with an embedded servlet container .

Try out the update server in our hawkBit sandbox on Bluemix

• try out Management UI https://hawkbit.eu-gb.mybluemix.net/UI (username: admin, passwd: admin)
• try out Management API https://hawkbit.eu-gb.mybluemix.net/rest/v1/targets (don't forget basic auth header; username: admin, passwd: admin)
• try out DDI API https://hawkbit.eu-gb.mybluemix.net/DEFAULT/controller/v1/MYTESTDEVICE (authentication disabled)

On your own workstation

Run

java -jar hawkbit-runtime/hawkbit-update-server/target/hawkbit-update-server-*-SNAPSHOT.jar

(Note: you have to add the JDBC driver also to your class path if you intend to use another database than H2.)

Or:

run org.eclipse.hawkbit.app.Start

Usage

The Management UI can be accessed via http://localhost:8080/UI The Management API can be accessed via http://localhost:8080/rest/v1

Deploy example app to Cloud Foundry

• Go to target subfolder.
• Select one of the two manifests
• manifest-simple.yml for a standalone hawkBit installation with embedded H2.
• manifest.yml for a standalone hawkBit installation with embedded H2 and RabbitMQ service binding for DMF integration (note: this manifest is used for the sandbox above).
• Run cf push against you cloud foundry environment.

Enable Clustering (experimental)

Clustering in hawkBit is based on Spring Cloud Bus. It is not enabled in the example app by default.

Add to your application.properties :

spring.cloud.bus.enabled=true

Add to your pom.xml :

<dependency>
	<groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
	<artifactId>spring-cloud-stream-binder-rabbit</artifactId>
</dependency>

Optional as well is the addition of Protostuff based message payload serialization for improved performance.

Add to your application.properties :

spring.cloud.stream.bindings.springCloudBusInput.content-type=application/binary+protostuff
spring.cloud.stream.bindings.springCloudBusOutput.content-type=application/binary+protostuff

Add to your pom.xml :

<dependency>
	<groupId>io.protostuff</groupId>
	<artifactId>protostuff-core</artifactId>
</dependency>
<dependency>
	<groupId>io.protostuff</groupId>
	<artifactId>protostuff-runtime</artifactId>
