OPEN COMMUNICATIONS NETWORK & API FOR THE INTERNET OF THINGS (IoT)!

Visit SKYNET.im for up-to-the-latest documentation and screencasts.

======

Introduction

SkyNet is an open source machine-to-machine instant messaging network and API. Our API supports both HTTP REST and realtime Web Sockets via RPC (remote procedure calls). We also bridge MQTT communications across our HTTP and Web Socket device channels.

SkyNet auto-assigns 36 character UUIDs and secret tokens to each registered device connected to the network. These device credentials are used to authenticate with SkyNet and maintain your device's JSON description in our device directory.

SkyNet allows you to query devices such as drones, hue light bulbs, weemos, arduinos, and server nodes that meet your criteria and send IM messages to 1 or all devices.

SkyNet includes a Node.JS NPM module called SkyNet and a skynet.js file for simplifying Node.JS and mobile/client-side connectivity to SkyNet.

You can also subscribe to messages being sent to/from devices and their sensor activities.

Press

GigaOm - Listen to Stacey Higginbotham from GigaOm interview Chris Matthieu, the founder of SkyNet, about our capabilities, uses, and future direction.

Wired - ‘Yes, I’m trying to build SkyNet from Terminator.’

LeapMotion - Developer newsletter covers flying drones connected to SkyNet with LeapMotion sensor!

Roadmap

  • Phase 1 - Build a network and realtime API for enabling machine-to-machine communications.
  • Phase 2 - Connect all of the thingz.
  • Phase 3 - Become self-aware!

Installing

Clone the git repository, then:

$ npm install
$ cp config.js.sample config.js

Modify config.js with your MongoDB connection string. If you have MongoDB running locally use:

mongodb://localhost:27017/skynet

You must also modify config.js with your Redis connection information. If you have Redis running locally use:

redisHost: "127.0.0.1",
redisPort: "6379"

Start the server use:

$ node server.js

Installing with Docker

The default Dockerfile will run Skynet, MongoDB and Redis in a single container to make quick experiments easier.

You'll need docker installed, then to build the Skynet image:

From the directory where the Dockerfile resides run.

# docker build -t=skynet .

To run a fully self contained instance using the source bundled in the container.

# docker run -i -t -p 3000 skynet

This will run skynet and expose port 3000 from the container on a random host port that you can find by running docker ps.

If you want to do development and run without rebuilding the image you can bind mount your source directory including node_modules onto the container. This example also binds a directory to hold the log of stdout & stderr from the Skynet node process.

# docker run -d -p 3000 --name=skynet_dev -v /path/to/your/skynet:/var/www -v /path/to/your/logs:/var/log/skynet skynet

If you change the code restarting the container is as easy as:

# docker restart skynet_dev
