We would love to hear your thoughts.

08/13/2024, 12:35 PMi would like to do the same thing with Apache streampipes.
This is not a single container but a docker-compose
Do you have experience with this? How should i approach this best?

08/13/2024, 12:45 PMoh nice! keep us posted!
Jermuk
08/13/2024, 12:45 PMyou can easily let docker-compose run in parallel
Jermuk
08/13/2024, 12:45 PMlet me checkotu streampipes quiockly, maybe you can put it into kubernetes

08/13/2024, 12:47 PMI would position streampipes as a method for OT engineers to access the data from the UMH easily
so UMH Protocol Converter --> UMH UNS --> Apache Streampipes --> UMH UNS

08/13/2024, 1:45 PMTo answer the docker-compose part: I think Kubernetes would just replace the function of docker-compose. Esentially, docker-compose is just a very minimal container orchestration service

08/13/2024, 3:32 PMI had a different vision, I was planning to collect data with stream pipes and put it on mqtt topics on the umh hivemq broker
Diederik
08/13/2024, 3:33 PMBut as it is build on docker-compose I cannot directly deploy it in kubernetes? How can I approach this best?

08/13/2024, 3:33 PMChat gpt Translate the compose to kubernetes?

08/14/2024, 6:42 AMOh, what are the reasons for not using our protocol converters and benthos-umh? If it is slow to work with, there is an update in the next days that fixes it 🙂
Jermuk
08/14/2024, 6:44 AMAbout Kubereneted: you can either ChatGPT the compose to kuberneted (works in like 90 percent of cases for simple stuff), or you can take a look at the referenced link which is their official tutorial to deploy it in Kuberneted

- nice webinterface making it accessable to costumers
- broad range of PLC4X connectors
- data modelling/pipelines

08/14/2024, 11:41 AMthese would be a few reasons to use streampipes

08/14/2024, 1:52 PMThank you for the feedback!
About the topic of configuration file vs UI:
- we've been discussing this a lot internally, and one of the problems we see with most UIs is that they don't scale well. It is easy to connect a couple of machines, but then when you want to apply it across an enterprise, it falls apart.
- our approach at the moment is to have the YAML as the single source, and then simplify the generation of the YAML as much as possible. We plan on having a "pure UI" that converts to YAML for some connectors. with this the OT can connect and model some machines, but then also the IT guy can then come, template it and roll it out across hundreds of machines easily.
What are your thoughts on this?

Diederik
08/14/2024, 2:39 PMI think it was okay
