This guide will help you to install and start ThingsBoard Professional Edition (PE) using Docker and Docker Compose on Linux or Mac OS. This guide covers standalone ThingsBoard PE installation. If you are looking for a cluster installation instruction, please visit cluster setup page.

Prerequisites

Step 1. Checkout all ThingsBoard PE Image

Please checkout ThingsBoard PE Image from Docker Hub. You will need to open all verified images and click on “Proceed to checkout” to accept ThingsBoard PE license agreement.

Listing all images mandatory for checkout for your convenience below:

ThingsBoard PE Standalone

Populate basic information about yourself and click “Get Content”

Step 2. Pull ThingsBoard PE Image

Make sure your have logged in to docker hub using command line.

docker pull store/thingsboard/tb-pe:3.1.1PE

Step 3. Obtain the license key

We assume you have already chosen your subscription plan or decided to purchase a perpetual license. If not, please navigate to pricing page to select the best license option for your case and get your license. See How-to get pay-as-you-go subscription or How-to get perpetual license for more details.

Note: We will reference the license key you have obtained during this step as PUT_YOUR_LICENSE_SECRET_HERE later in this guide.

Step 4. Choose ThingsBoard queue service

选择下面消息中间件代理服务之前的通信。

内存默认队列适用于开发环境很有用请勿用于生产环境。
Kafka 对于本地和私有云部署可以独立于云服务供应商生产环境中使用。
RabbitMQ 如果没有太多负载并且已经具备一定的使用经验建议使用此方式。
AWS SQS 如是你打算在AWS上使用ThingsBoard则可以使用此消息队列。
Google发布/订阅 如果你打算在Google Cloud上部署ThingsBoard则可以使用此消息队列。
Azure服务总线 如果你打算在Azure上部署ThingsBoard则可以使用此消息队列。
Confluent云 基于Kafka的完全托管的事件流平台。

参见相应的架构页面和规则引擎页面以获取更多详细信息。

In Memory (built-in and default)

AWS SQS (managed service from AWS)

Google Pub/Sub (managed service from Google)

Azure Service Bus (managed service from Azure)

RabbitMQ (for small on-prem installations)

Confluent Cloud (Event Streaming Platform based on Kafka)

ThingsBoard includes In Memory Queue service and use it by default without extra settings.

Create docker compose file for ThingsBoard queue service:

sudo nano docker-compose.yml

Add the following line to the yml file. Don’t forget to replace “PUT_YOUR_LICENSE_SECRET_HERE” with your license secret obtained on the first step:

      # These params affect the number of requests per second from each partitions per each queue.
      # Number of requests to particular Message Queue is calculated based on the formula:
      # ((Number of Rule Engine and Core Queues) * (Number of partitions per Queue) + (Number of transport queues)
      #  + (Number of microservices) + (Number of JS executors)) * 1000 / POLL_INTERVAL_MS
      # For example, number of requests based on default parameters is:
      # Rule Engine queues:
      # Main 10 partitions + HighPriority 10 partitions + SequentialByOriginator 10 partitions = 30
      # Core queue 10 partitions
      # Transport request Queue + response Queue = 2
      # Rule Engine Transport notifications Queue + Core Transport notifications Queue = 2
      # Total = 44
      # Number of requests per second = 44 * 1000 / 25 = 1760 requests
      # 
      # Based on the use case, you can compromise latency and decrease number of partitions/requests to the queue, if the message load is low.

Where:

PUT_YOUR_LICENSE_SECRET_HERE - placeholder for your license secret obtained on the third step;
8080:8080 - connect local port 8080 to exposed internal HTTP port 8080;
1883:1883 - connect local port 1883 to exposed internal MQTT port 1883;
5683:5683 - connect local port 5683 to exposed internal COAP port 5683;
~/.mytbpe-data:/data - mounts the host’s dir ~/.mytbpe-data to ThingsBoard data directory;
~/.mytbpe-data/db:/var/lib/postgresql/data - mounts the host’s dir ~/.mytbpe-data/db to Postgres data directory;
~/.mytbpe-logs:/var/log/thingsboard - mounts the host’s dir ~/.mytbpe-logs to ThingsBoard logs directory;
mytbpe - friendly local name of this machine;
restart: always - automatically start ThingsBoard in case of system reboot and restart in case of failure.;
store/thingsboard/tb-pe:3.1.1PE - docker image.

Step 5. Running

Before starting Docker container run following commands to create a directory for storing data and logs and then change its owner to docker container user, to be able to change user, chown command is used, which requires sudo permissions (command will request password for a sudo access):

mkdir -p ~/.mytbpe-data && sudo chown -R 799:799 ~/.mytbpe-data
mkdir -p ~/.mytbpe-logs && sudo chown -R 799:799 ~/.mytbpe-logs

NOTE: replace directory ~/.mytbpe-data and ~/.mytbpe-logs with directories you’re planning to used in docker-compose.yml.

Execute the following command to up this docker compose directly:

NOTE: For running docker compose commands you have to be in a directory with docker-compose.yml file.

docker-compose up -d
docker-compose logs -f mytbpe

After executing this command you can open http://{your-host-ip}:8080 in you browser (for ex. http://localhost:8080). You should see ThingsBoard login page. Use the following default credentials:

System Administrator: sysadmin@thingsboard.org / sysadmin
Tenant Administrator: tenant@thingsboard.org / tenant
Customer User: customer@thingsboard.org / customer

You can always change passwords for each account in account profile page.

Detaching, stop and start commands

You can close logs Ctrl-c - the container will keep running in the background.

In case of any issues you can examine service logs for errors. For example to see ThingsBoard node logs execute the following command:

docker-compose logs -f mytbpe

To stop the container:

docker-compose stop

To start the container:

docker-compose start

Upgrading

In case when database upgrade is needed, execute the following commands:

$ docker-compose stop tb-node
$ docker-compose run mytbpe upgrade-tb.sh
$ docker-compose start mytbpe

Troubleshooting

DNS issues

Note If you observe errors related to DNS issues, for example

127.0.1.1:53: cannot unmarshal DNS message

You may configure your system to use Google public DNS servers. See corresponding Linux and Mac OS instructions.
