Requirements

Virtual machine

A virtual machine with a public IP address (global IP address) or a virtual machine that can be accessed from the Internet via a network equipment

Supported Linux distribution

The FIWARE Big Bang supports Ubuntu, Rocky Linux and AlmaLinux as Linux distribution. The recommended Linux distribution is Ubuntu 24.04.

Domain name

An own domain name is needed to access Web Applications and APIs with a domain name. You can access each Web Application or API with a sub-domain name.

Ports exposed on the internet

The Web Applications and APIs installed by FIWARE Big Bang uses some ports.

  • Port 443 (HTTPS) is used by Web Applications and APIs
  • Port 80 (HTTP) is used to get Let's encrypt Server certificates
  • Port 1883 is used by Mosquitto when enabling MQTT
  • Port 8883 is used by Mosquitto when enabling MQTT TLS

Prerequisite

Before running the setup script, you need to register sub-domain names of FIWARE GEs in DNS using A records or CNAME records.

  • keyrock.example.com
  • orion.example.com

Getting Started

Download a tar.gz file for the FIWARE Big Bang.

curl -sL https://github.com/lets-fiware/FIWARE-Big-Bang/releases/download/v0.40.0/FIWARE-Big-Bang-0.40.0.tar.gz | tar zxf -

Move to the FIWARE-Big-Bang-0.40.0 directory.

cd FIWARE-Big-Bang-0.40.0/

Run the lets-fiware.sh script with your own domain name and a public IP address.

./lets-fiware.sh example.com XX.XX.XX.XX

Command syntax

The lets-fiware.sh command accepts two arguments. The first argument is a domain name. The second one is a public IP address. It can be omitted when your virtual machine has a public IP address.

./lets-fiware.sh DOMAIN_NAME [PUBLIC_IP_ADDRESS]

Examples:

  • ./lets-fiware.sh example.com
  • ./lets-fiware.sh example.com XX:XX:XX:XX

Configuration

You can specify configurations by editing the config.sh file. Please see each documentation for details as below:
