Thingsboard VS Heimdall

Until recently I was still using TB v3.2.1, now I've set about updating the installation to the latest version. I proceeded as described at https://github.com/thingsboard/thingsboard/tree/master/docker:

You might find something more attuned to that use case to be more helpful out of the box (like thingsboard.io) but if you're committed to django, set up an API endpoint to receive json updates ('events') sent from the arduino.

Introduction：As a 100% open source IoT platform that can be hosted as a SaaS or PaaS solution, Thingsboard can provide device management, data collection, processing and visualization for your IoT project. The standard protocols that provide device connectivity such as MQTT, CoAP, and HTTP are all available on ThingsBoard. In addition, it supports cloud and local deployment and provides more than 30 customizable components that allow you to build end-user custom dashboards for most IoT cases.

Then host a ThingsBoard server and use the HTTP API to push data from the device. You can send alerts with Pushover.

ThingsBoard is an open-source IoT platform for data collection, processing, visualization and device management. It supports device connectivity via protocols, such as MQTT, CoAP and HTTP, and supports both cloud and private deployments. Deliver, monitor and control your IoT entities in a secure way using rich server-side APIs that define the relationships between your devices, assets, customers, or any other entities. Collect and store telemetry data in a scalable and fault-tolerant manner, visualize your data with built-in or custom widgets and flexible dashboards, and share the Dashboard interface with your customers.

The company I work for uses https://thingsboard.io and the team from Ukraine that built it are awesome and the company is still responding even though they are going through this hell of a war.

The control panel is called Homepage. I like it more than Heimdall. To manage Docker I use Portainer.

You don't need to use heimdall with docker. You just need a working web server with PHP then install it from source: https://github.com/linuxserver/Heimdall Instructions are in the readme.

I prefer using Heimdall

There is a 3.x branch, but it hasn't been touched in about a year. Contrast that to the 2.x branch which was updated within the last week. Seems maybe there isn't any development on the 3.x branch.

Fo example, Heimdall is a dashboard, a polygon validator node, and an Android firmware flasher. All of which are quite popular projects

Heimdall - A homepage for self-hosted applications (like 'Homepage', but for people who prefer to do the config in the application, rather than editing .yaml files)

There is a more straightforward solution if it's all just for internal links. Set up something like heimdal. https://github.com/linuxserver/Heimdall

Dispute configure heimdall correctly for your domain? There is a github issue about this: https://github.com/linuxserver/Heimdall/issues/362
