AWS IoT Documentation #95

Open squaresurf opened 5 years ago

squaresurf commented 5 years ago

Would you be open to accepting a PR with documentation on how to use Tortoise with AWS IoT? I recently worked through how to do this and think it could be a short section in the README.md or elsewhere. If you'd like this, then where would you prefer the documentation to live?

gausby commented 5 years ago

Yes, that would be wonderful!

I think a “guides” section in the docs that go on hex would be great. Then we could add howto-guides for the other cloud IoT providers there as well.

squaresurf commented 5 years ago

Great! So should I create something like this? docs/guides/aws_iot.md

gausby commented 5 years ago

docs/guides/aws_iot.md Sounds good; we can always change the name of it. The important part is that it is referenced in the docs section in the mix.exs-file.

Heads up that this is going to take me longer than expected. I just realized that my current configuration isn't verifying the CA. Fortunately, I do have a path forward, but I'll need to understand it better before I can write up a first pass at a doc.

gausby commented 5 years ago

No need to be sorry. I am so happy you're doing this, so take your time. Personally I am currently moving to another country, so hopefully I can get some time to do some tortoise development soon.

Heads up that @danielspofford is planning on getting this done :smile:

@squaresurf @danielspofford would you guys be able to share how you got this working? I've had all sorts of CA issues getting this running, and as of now can get Tortoise starting without errors but so far am unable to publish (hangs forever), possibly because I've wound up using the server_name_indication: :disable option, and I'm also using the mozilla cacert.pem file as the AWS supplied one perpetually gave me Unknown CA errors. Any help much appreciated. Happy to post info here or move to another forum if that would be preferable.

@mick-h I'm sorry it's taken me so long to reply to this. Unfortunately, I no longer have access to how I got this working as I now work for a new employer and don't really use GitHub anymore.
