Getting Started with ThingsBoard IoT Gateway

The ThingsBoard IoT Gateway is an open-source solution, designed to serve as a bridge between ThingsBoard and IoT devices connected to legacy and third-party systems.

This guide covers initial IoT Gateway installation and configuration. We will do the following things:

• Create a new gateway device;
• Launch the gateway using Docker command;
• Configure different connector types (MQTT, OPC-UA, Modbus) in order to connect to a local demo servers and read data from them;
• Check received device data on ThingsBoard.

• Before initiating the Gateway setup, ensure that the ThingsBoard server is up and running. The simplest approach is to use ThingsBoard Cloud. Alternatively, you can install ThingsBoard manually by following the steps outlined in the Installation Guide.
• Before moving forward, ensure Docker is installed and properly configured on your machine. If you haven’t installed Docker yet, you can download it from the official Docker website and follow their installation guide for your specific operating system.
