# Eclipse hawkBit™ - Update Server
Eclipse [hawkBit](http://www.eclipse.org/hawkbit/index.html) is an domain independent back end solution for rolling out
software updates to constrained edge devices as well as more powerful controllers and gateways connected to IP based
networking infrastructure.

# hawkBit evaluation
The following vendors offer free trial accounts for their hawkBit compatible products:
- [Bosch IoT Rollouts](https://bosch-iot-suite.com/service/rollouts/)
- [Kynetics Update Factory](https://www.kynetics.com/iot-platform-update-factory)
# Device Integration (Client libraries)
hawkBit exposes HTTP/JSON based [Direct Device Integration (API) API](https://www.eclipse.org/hawkbit/apis/ddi_api/)
that allow any update client to integrate quite easily.
The [Eclipse Hara subproject](https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/iot.hawkbit.hara) aims to provide a reference agent
software implementation of the Eclipse hawkBit device API.
The [hara-ddiclient repository](https://github.com/eclipse-hara/hara-ddiclient) provides:
- a Kotlin library that facilitates and speeds up the development of DDI API clients running on the JVM
- a virtual-device application which provides:
- a reference example on how to use the library
- a configurable virtual device that can be used for different testing scenarios
The hara-ddiclient library has [reached version 2.x](https://github.com/eclipse-hara/hara-ddiclient/releases), and has
been successfully used in production for years.
## Other open-source hawkBit Clients
There are clients outside of the Eclipse IoT eco system as well, e.g.:
- [SWupdate](https://github.com/sbabic/swupdate) which is a Linux Update agent with focus on a efficient and safe way to
update embedded systems.
- [rauc-hawkbit-updater](https://github.com/rauc/rauc-hawkbit-updater) which is a hawkBit client for
the [RAUC](https://github.com/rauc/rauc) update framework written in C/glib.
- [rauc-hawkbit](https://github.com/rauc/rauc-hawkbit) which is a python-based hawkBit client demo application and
library for the [RAUC](https://github.com/rauc/rauc) update framework.
- [hawkbit-rs](https://github.com/collabora/hawkbit-rs) provides a couple of [Rust](https://www.rust-lang.org) crates to
help [implement](https://crates.io/crates/hawkbit) and [test](https://crates.io/crates/hawkbit_mock) hawkBit clients.
- [Zephyr-RTOS](https://docs.zephyrproject.org/apidoc/latest/group__hawkbit.html#details): The Zephyr OS is a
small-footprint kernel designed for use on resource-constrained and embedded systems: from simple embedded
environmental sensors and LED wearables to sophisticated embedded controllers, smart watches, and IoT wireless
applications.
- [ChirpStack](https://www.chirpstack.io/docs/chirpstack-gateway-os/use/software-update.html): ChirpStack Gateway OS
uses [SWUpdate](https://github.com/sbabic/swupdate) for handling updates which can be integrated with Eclipse hawkBit.
ChirpStack is an open-source LoRaWAN Network Server which can be used to to setup private or public LoRaWAN networks.

## (Optional) RabbitMQ: 3.6,3.7,3.8
# Getting Started
We are providing a [Spring Boot](https://projects.spring.io/spring-boot/) based
reference [Update Server](hawkbit-monolith/hawkbit-update-server) including embedded H2 DB for test and evaluation
purposes.
Run with docker:
```bash
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 hawkbit/hawkbit-update-server
```
The monolith update server will start on port 8080 with default configuration and H2 database. The default user `admin:admin` is configured.
The Swagger UI is available at: [http://localhost:8080/swagger-ui/index.html](http://localhost:8080/swagger-ui/index.html)
See below for how to build and run the update server on your own. In addition we have
a [guide](https://www.eclipse.org/hawkbit/guides/runhawkbit/) for setting up a complete landscape.
**Note**: this docker image supports both DDI and DMF APIs. However, in order to have DMF API working you shall have
started additionally RabbitMQ on localhost:5672 with user guest/guest. Then the DMF will use / vhost. See more
at [guide](https://www.eclipse.org/hawkbit/guides/runhawkbit/) -> _Configure RabbitMQ connection settings_.
# hawkBit (Spring boot) starters
Next to the [Update Server](hawkbit-monolith/hawkbit-update-server) we are also providing a set
of [Spring Boot Starters](hawkbit-starters) to quick start your
own [Spring Boot](https://projects.spring.io/spring-boot/) based application.
# Clone, build and run hawkBit
## Clone and build
```bash
git clone https://github.com/eclipse-hawkbit/hawkbit.git
cd hawkbit
mvn clean install
```
## Start hawkBit [Update Server](hawkbit-monolith/hawkbit-update-server)
```bash
java -jar ./hawkbit-monolith/hawkbit-update-server/target/hawkbit-update-server-0-SNAPSHOT.jar
```
The monolith update server will start on port 8080 with default configuration and H2 database. The default user `admin:admin` is configured.
The Swagger UI is available at: [http://localhost:8080/swagger-ui/index.html](http://localhost:8080/swagger-ui/index.html)
## Start hawkBit [UI](hawkbit-ui)
```bash
java -jar ./hawkbit-ui/target/hawkbit-ui.jar
```
Log in to [hawkbit UI](http://localhost:8088) with default `admin:admin` user.
## Start hawkBit [Device Simulator](hawkbit-sdk/hawkbit-sdk-demo)
* Enable gateway token authentication - on update server set tenant configuration properties (via [Swagger UI](http://localhost:8080/swagger-ui/index.html) or [hawkBit
UI](http://localhost:8088)):
* `authentication.gatewaytoken.enabled=true` and
* `authentication.gatewaytoken.key=`)
* Start demo Device Simulator - in the script below edit the environment properties accordingly.
* DDI url `http://localhost:8080` is default URL when running monolith update server.
* Set `hawkbit_tenant_gatewaytoken` to the configured gateway token (`authentication.gatewaytoken.key`))
* Then run:
```bash
export hawkbit_server_ddiurl=http://localhost:8080
export demo_controller_id=demo
export hawkbit_tenant_gatewaytoken=gw_token
java -jar ./hawkbit-sdk/hawkbit-sdk-demo/target/hawkbit-sdk-demo-0-SNAPSHOT.jar
```
* Execute `start` command in the simulator console to start the device simulation.
* Your device will be registered automatically on the update server and will start polling for updates.
## Generate getting started data with the [Management API example](https://github.com/eclipse-hawkbit/hawkbit-examples/tree/master/hawkbit-example-mgmt-simulator) (optional)
```bash
java -jar ./hawkbit-example-mgmt-simulator/target/hawkbit-example-mgmt-simulator-#version#-exec.jar
```
# Status and API stability
hawkBit is currently in '0.X' semantic version. That is due to the need that there is still content in hawkBit that is
in need for refactoring. That includes the maven module structure, Spring Boot Properties, Spring Boot auto
configuration as well as internal Java APIs (e.g.
the [repository API](https://github.com/eclipse-hawkbit/hawkbit/issues/197) ).
However, the device
facing [DDI API](https://github.com/eclipse-hawkbit/hawkbit/tree/master/hawkbit-rest/hawkbit-ddi-api) is on major
version 'v1' and will be kept stable.
Server facing and [DMF API](https://github.com/eclipse-hawkbit/hawkbit/tree/master/hawkbit-dmf/hawkbit-dmf-api)
are [Management API](https://github.com/eclipse-hawkbit/hawkbit/tree/master/hawkbit-mgmt/hawkbit-mgmt-api) are on v1 as
well. However, we cannot fully guarantee the same stability during hawkBit's 0.X development but we will try as best we
can.
