Sensor Simulator

This repository contains the Go code I used to simulate sensors generating data for my other project, Connect Lab Ultra Plus.

It reads the db and creates a random measured value for each active sensor.

The repo also has a working Dockerfile to make the app more portable.

Prerequisites

• Docker: Install Docker

Getting Started

1. Make sure you have ran the migrations and seeded the db in your Connect Lab Ultra Plus copy, this app only makes sense as a complement to the main app.

2. Clone the Repository:

   Clone this repository to your local machine:

   git clone https://github.com/francisko-rezende/sensor-simulator.git
   cd sensor-simulator

3. Create a .env following the model in .env.example

4. Build your image using docker build -t sensor-simulator .

5. Run your image using docker run sensor-simulator

And you're done!

PS: Remember to also make any additional adjustments that might be specific to your setup. For instance, I was running my db on a different docker-compose so I had to either set a --network param in my docker run call or specify it in this app's docker-compose.yml, as you can see by checking out the file here in the repo.
