### About
|
|
Mainflux is modern massively-scalable and [highly-secured](#security) open source and patent-free IoT cloud platform written in Go and Erlang, based on a set of [microservices](#architecture).
|
|
|
|
It allows device, user and application connections over various network protocols, like HTTP, MQTT, WebSocket and CoAP, making a seamless bridge between them. It is used as the IoT middleware for building complex IoT solutions.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mainflux is built with <3 by Mainflux [team](MAINTAINERS) and community contributors.
|
|
|
|
### Architecture
|
|
Mainflux IoT cloud is composed of several components, i.e. microservices:

|
|
|
|
Docker composition that constitues Mainflux IoT infrastructure is defined in the [`docker-compose.yml`](https://github.com/Mainflux/mainflux/blob/master/docker-compose.yml).
|
|
|
|
### Security
|
|
For professional deployments Mainflux is usually combined with [Mainflux Authentication and Authorization Server](https://github.com/mainflux/mainflux-auth-server) which adds fine-grained security based on customizable API keys.
|
|
|
|
Mainflux Auth Server also provides user accounts and device and application access control with simple customizable scheme based on scoped JWTs.
|
|
|
|
### Install/Deploy
|
|
|
|
- Clone the repo:
|
|
```bash
|
|
git clone https://github.com/Mainflux/mainflux.git && cd mainflux
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
- Start the Docker composition:
|
|
```bash
|
|
docker-compose up
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This will automatically download Docker images from [Mainflux Docker Hub](https://hub.docker.com/u/mainflux/) and deploy the composition of Mianflux microservices.
|
|
|
|
