Earlier this year, when Azure IoT Edge was still in Public Preview, I wrote a couple of blogs about Visualizing Azure IoT Edge using local dashboard.
Back then, I had to do some magic with both a C# IoT Edge module, a custom NodeJS docker container, and a Docker network to get it running.
Since then, a lot has changed. Microsoft already released a ton of new features. a And there is still more to come regarding the Azure IoT platform.
But that awkward local dashboard solution was nagging me. A few months ago, Microsoft introduced a NodeJS module as a first-class citizen for IoT Edge modules.
So it was time to pick up the gauntlet and use NodeJS for this awesome local IoT Edge dashboard:
#tldr; If you like to dig into the code, zip it, clone it, extend it or even make a pull request, I made this project open source. If you only want to use it the easy-going way, pull it from docker eg. ‘svelde/localdashboard:1.0.1-amd64’.
At this moment, only Linux containers are supported. It is tested both on Windows and Ubuntu as host OS.
Interested in this module? Let’s see how you can use it.
