SensorMesh

SensorMesh allows you to direct output from serial devices and internal services into a distributed peer-to-peer database on IPFS.

SensorMesh is built as a layer of abstraction and service compatibility for OrbitDB. It is built in Go and uses the go-orbit-db module developed by the folks at Berty. Check all these awesome projects out!

Imagine a factory floor with multiple independent nodes, each with its sensors and services. With SensorMesh, each node is capable of publishing its data to a distributed P2P log database, accessible from any node at any time and with a loss of connection awareness between nodes.

Install

To install SensorMesh, simply download the latest binary which can be found at Releases.

Or do it from the terminal by running the following command.

curl https://github.com/davidjosearaujo/sensor-mesh/blob/main/install.sh && \
chmod +x install.sh && \
sudo ./install.sh

You should now be able to call sensormesh from any terminal session!

$ sensormesh

GLIBC error

If you run into problems regarding GLIBC, such as:

sensormesh: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_x.xx' not found (required by sensormesh)
sensormesh: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_x.xx' not found (required by sensormesh)

don't worry, you'll just have to compile SensorMesh yourself, for that, follow the instructions in the Build section to see how.

Build

If you prefer to compile SensorMesh yourself or you ran into GLIBC errors, run the following command.

git clone https://github.com/davidjosearaujo/sensor-mesh.git && \
cd sensor-mesh && \
chmod +x ./build.sh && \
./build.sh

The build script will request sudo access to move the generated binary to /usr/local/bin which should already be in your PATH env variable. If you choose not to provide sudo access, the binary will remain in the current directory.
