INSTALLING WEEVE-AGENT

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/weeveiot/weeve-agent-installer/dev/weeve-agent-installer.sh > weeve-agent-installer.sh
sudo sh weeve-agent-installer.sh token=<path to the secret file> nodename=<name of the node>

UNINSTALLING WEEVE-AGENT

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/weeveiot/weeve-agent-installer/dev/weeve-agent-uninstaller.sh | sudo sh

Developers - manually starting the weeve agent

  1. Install docker docker installation
  2. Make a folder in the home folder mkdir weeve-agent
  3. Copy the agent to the instance
    1. scp -i ~/.ssh/agent-testing.pem "ubuntu@:/home/ubuntu/weeve-agent"
    2. Make it executable chmod u+x weeve-agent/<agent-binary-name>
  4. Similarly, copy the configuration and bootstrap certificates to the instance, same folder
  5. To run the agent in the foreground ./weeve-agent/<agent-binary-name> -v --broker tls://asnhp33z3nubs-ats.iot.us-east-1.amazonaws.com:8883 --subClientId nodes/awsdev --pubClientId manager/awsdev --publish status --heartbeat 30 --name <name-of-the-node>
  6. To run the agent as systemd service
    1. Add it to the configuration echo "ARG_NODENAME=--name <name-of-the-node>" >> ./weeve-agent/weeve-agent.argconf
    2. Add the following to weeve-agent.service
      1. echo "WorkingDirectory=/home/ubuntu/weeve-agent" >> ./weeve-agent/weeve-agent.service
      2. echo "ExecStart=/home/ubuntu/weeve-agent/<agent-binary-name> $ARG_VERBOSE $ARG_BROKER $ARG_SUB_CLIENT $ARG_PUB_CLIENT $ARG_PUBLISH $ARG_HEARTBEAT $ARG_NODENAME" >> ./weeve-agent/weeve-agent.service

    6. Start the service sudo systemctl start weeve-agent

Upon first execution; The weeve agent bootstraps. The thing name will be the environment followed by the ID, for example; awsdev_f5adbd1a-d4b7-4485-b5f4-2b901a92c80f. The certificate is created and uploaded to S3

NOTE

It is possible to run multiple instances of the weeve agent in a single host. Each process would be running independently and be bootstrapped with as a dedicated IoT thing.

DELETING A NODE

To delete the IoT thing, call the API - deleteNode. This will remove the following:

  • Things from IoT core
  • Node and deployments from DB
  • Certificate from s3 bucket
