# UA Cloud Publisher

A cross-platform OPC UA cloud publisher reference implementation leveraging OPC UA PubSub over MQTT. It runs in a container image on standard Docker hosts or on Kubernetes and comes with an easy-to-use web user interface.

## Features

- Cross-plattform - Runs natively on Windows and Linux
- Runs inside a Docker container and on Kubernetes
- UI for connecting to, browsing of, reading nodes from and publishing nodes from an OPC UA server
- Generates a CSV file containing all OPC UA nodes from a connected server
- Generates a `publishednodes.json` file containing all OPC UA variable nodes from a connected server
- Uses OPC UA PubSub JSON encoding
- Uses MQTT broker as publishing endpoint
- Uses Kafka broker as publishing endpoint
- Support for multiple Kafka brokers for publishing (one for UA data, one more UA metadata)
- Support for subscribing to MQTT broker to read UA PubSub data and re-encode it, with metadata, as UA JSON to be published (the broker bridge design pattern)
- Support for websockets transport with MQTT broker
- Support for username/password authentication for Kafka broker
- Support for username/password authentication for MQTT broker
- Support for certificate authentication for MQTT broker
- Support for sending OPC UA metadata to an alternative broker
- Support for reverse connects from OPC UA servers
- Support for subscriptions transfer when server connections are temporarily interrupted
- OPC UA Variables publishing
- OPC UA Alarms, Conditions & other events publishing
- OPC UA Event filtering
- OPC UA Complex Types publishing
- OPC UA metadata messages publishing
- OPC UA status messages publishing
- Diagnostics info publishing
- UI for displaying the list of publishes nodes
- UI for displaying diagnostic information
- UI for configuration
- Publishing from the cloud via a broker
- Publishing on data changes or on regular intervals
- Supports `publishednodes.json` input file format
- Support for storing configuration files locally
- Support for Store & Forward during internet connection outages
- Support for username and password authentication
- Support for Intel/AMD `x64` and `arm64` architectures (Raspberry Pi4, etc.) with pre-built container images ready for use
- Integration with [UA Edge Translator](https://github.com/barnstee/UA-EdgeTranslator)
- Support for generating the Web of Things Thing Descriptions for UA Edge Translator automatically using ChatGPT
- Support for issuing a new X509 certificate and trust list to connected OPC UA servers (GDS Server Push functionality)

## Usage

Docker containers are automatically built and published. Simply run the UA Cloud Publisher on a Docker-enabled computer via:

`docker run -itd -p 80:80 ghcr.io/barnstee/ua-cloudpublisher:main`

And then point your browser to .

Note: We have also provided a [test environment](./TestEnvironment/readme.md) to get you started.

### Persisting Logs, Settings, Published Nodes and OPC UA Certificates

UA Cloud Publisher logs, settings, published nodes and OPC UA certificates can be persisted locally across Docker container restarts by running:

`docker run -itd -v c:/publisher/logs:/app/logs -v c:/publisher/settings:/app/settings -v c:/publisher/pki:/app/pki -p 80:80 ghcr.io/barnstee/ua-cloudpublisher:main`

For Linux hosts, remove the `c:` instances from the command above.

And then point your browser to `http://yourIPAddress`.

## Using the Alternative Broker

UA Cloud Publisher contains a second broker client that can be used either to **send** OPC UA PubSub metadata via Kafka to a second broker **or** it can be used to **receive** OPC UA PubSub data via MQTT. However, both features together can't be used right now.

## Optional Environment Variables

- AZURE_OPENAI_API_ENDPOINT - the endpoint URL of the Azure OpenAI instance to use in the form https://[yourinstancename].openai.azure.com/
- AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY - the key to use
- AZURE_OPENAI_API_DEPLOYMENT_NAME - the deployment to use
- OPCUA_USERNAME - OPC UA server username to use when none is specified in publishednodes.json file
- OPCUA_PASSWORD - OPC UA server password to use when none is specified in publishednodes.json file

## PublishedNodes.json File Format

(All intervals must be specified in milliseconds)

```json
[
{
"EndpointUrl": "string", // e.g. "opc.tcp://opcua.example.com/"
"OpcNodes": [
{
"Id": "string", // Expanded Node Id
"OpcSamplingInterval": 1000,
"OpcPublishingInterval": 1000,
"HeartbeatInterval": 0, // set to a value > 0 if you want to publish static values on regular intervals
"SkipFirst": false
}
