+# Adopters
+
+As Mainflux Community grows, we'd like to keep track of Mainflux adopters to grow the community, contact other users, share experiences and best practices.
+
+To accomplish this, we created a public ledger. The list of organizations and users who consider themselves as Mainflux adopters and that **publicly/officially** shared information and/or details of their adoption journey(optional).
+Where users themselves directly maintain the list.
+
+## Adding yourself as an adopter
+If you are using Mainflux, please consider adding yourself as an adopter with a brief description of your use case by opening a pull request to this file and adding a section describing your adoption of Mainflux technology.
+
+**Please send PRs to add or remove organizations/users**
+
+### Format
+
+```
+N: Name of user (company or individual)
+D: Short Use Case Description (optional)
+L: Link with further information (optional)
+T: Type of adaptation: Evaluation, Core Technology, Production Usage (optional)
+```
+
+## Requirements
+* You must represent the user or organization listed. Do NOT add entries on behalf of other organizations or individuals.
+Pull request commit must be [signed](https://docs.github.com/en/github/authenticating-to-github/signing-commits) and auto-checked with [ Developer Certificate of Origin (DCO)](https://probot.github.io/apps/dco/)
+* There is no minimum requirement or adaptation size, but we request to list permanent deployments only, i.e., no demo or trial deployments. Commercial or production use is not required. A well-done home lab setup can be equally impressive as a large-scale commercial deployment.

+# Contributing to Mainflux
+
+The following is a set of guidelines to contribute to Mainflux and its libraries, which are
+hosted on the [Mainflux Organization](https://github.com/mainflux) on GitHub.
+
+This project adheres to the [Contributor Covenant 1.2](http://contributor-covenant.org/version/1/2/0).
+By participating, you are expected to uphold this code. Please report unacceptable behavior to
+[abuse@mainflux.com](mailto:abuse@mainflux.com).
+
+## Reporting issues
+
+Reporting issues are a great way to contribute to the project. We are perpetually grateful about a well-written,
+thorough bug report.
+
+Before raising a new issue, check [our issue
+list](https://github.com/mainflux/mainflux/issues) to determine if it already contains the
+problem that you are facing.
+
+A good bug report shouldn't leave others needing to chase you for more information. Please be as detailed as possible. The following questions might serve as a template for writing a detailed
+report:
+
+- What were you trying to achieve?
+- What are the expected results?
+- What are the received results?
+- What are the steps to reproduce the issue?
+- In what environment did you encounter the issue?
+
+## Pull requests
+
+Good pull requests (e.g. patches, improvements, new features) are a fantastic help. They should
+remain focused in scope and avoid unrelated commits.
+
+**Please ask first** before embarking on any significant pull request (e.g. implementing new features,
+refactoring code etc.), otherwise you risk spending a lot of time working on something that the
+maintainers might not want to merge into the project.
+
+Please adhere to the coding conventions used throughout the project. If in doubt, consult the
+[Effective Go](https://golang.org/doc/effective_go.html) style guide.
+
+To contribute to the project, [fork](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo/) it,
+clone your fork repository, and configure the remotes:
+
+```
+git clone https://github.com/<your-username>/mainflux.git
+cd mainflux
+git remote add upstream https://github.com/mainflux/mainflux.git
+```
+
+If your cloned repository is behind the upstream commits, then get the latest changes from upstream:
+
+```
+git checkout master
+git pull --rebase upstream master
+```
+
+Create a new topic branch from `master` using the naming convention `MF-[issue-number]`
+to help us keep track of your contribution scope:
+
+```
+git checkout -b MF-[issue-number]
+```
+
+Commit your changes in logical chunks. When you are ready to commit, make sure
+to write a Good Commit Message™. Consult the [Erlang's contributing guide](https://github.com/erlang/otp/wiki/Writing-good-commit-messages)
+if you're unsure of what constitutes a Good Commit Message™. Use [interactive rebase](https://help.github.com/articles/about-git-rebase)
+to group your commits into logical units of work before making it public.
+
+Note that every commit you make must be signed. By signing off your work you indicate that you
+are accepting the [Developer Certificate of Origin](https://developercertificate.org/).
+
+Use your real name (sorry, no pseudonyms or anonymous contributions). If you set your `user.name`
+and `user.email` git configs, you can sign your commit automatically with `git commit -s`.
+
+Locally merge (or rebase) the upstream development branch into your topic branch:
+
+```
+git pull --rebase upstream master
+```
+
+Push your topic branch up to your fork:
+
+```
+git push origin MF-[issue-number]
+```
+
+[Open a Pull Request](https://help.github.com/articles/using-pull-requests/) with a clear title
+and detailed description.

+      Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
+      work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
+      other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
+      has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
+
+   9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
+      the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,

+
+Mainflux is modern, scalable, secure, open-source, and patent-free IoT cloud platform written in Go.
+
+It accepts user and thing (sensor, actuator, application) connections over various network protocols (i.e. HTTP,
+MQTT, WebSocket, CoAP), thus making a seamless bridge between them. It is used as the IoT middleware
+for building complex IoT solutions.
+
+For more details, check out the [official documentation][docs].
+
+Mainflux is member of the [Linux Foundation][lf] and an active contributor
+to the [EdgeX Foundry][edgex] project. It has been made with :heart: by [Mainflux Labs][company],
+which maintains the project and offers professional services around it.
+
+## Features
+
+- Multi-protocol connectivity and bridging (HTTP, MQTT, WebSocket and CoAP)
+- Device management and provisioning (Zero Touch provisioning)
+- Mutual TLS Authentication (mTLS) using X.509 Certificates
+- Fine-grained access control (policies, ABAC/RBAC)
+- Message persistence (Cassandra, InfluxDB, MongoDB and PostgresSQL)
+- Platform logging and instrumentation support (Grafana, Prometheus and OpenTracing)
+- Event sourcing
+- Container-based deployment using [Docker][docker] and [Kubernetes][kubernetes]
+- [LoRaWAN][lora] network integration
+- [OPC UA](opcua) integration
+- Edge [Agent](agent) and [Export](export) services for remote IoT gateway management and edge computing
+- SDK
+- CLI
+- Small memory footprint and fast execution
+- Domain-driven design architecture, high-quality code and test coverage
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+The following are needed to run Mainflux:
+
+- [Docker](https://docs.docker.com/install/) (version 20.10)
+- [Docker compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/) (version 1.28)
+
+Developing Mainflux will also require:
+
+- [Go](https://golang.org/doc/install) (version 1.13.3)
+- [Protobuf](https://github.com/protocolbuffers/protobuf#protocol-compiler-installation) (version 3.6.1)
+
+## Install
+
+Once the prerequisites are installed, execute the following commands from the project's root:
+
+```bash
+docker-compose -f docker/docker-compose.yml up
+```
+
+This will bring up the Mainflux docker services and interconnect them. This command can also be executed using the project's included Makefile:
+
+```bash
+make run
+```
+
+If you want to run services from specific release checkout code from github and make sure that
+`MF_RELEASE_TAG` in [.env](.env) is being set to match the release version
+
+```bash
+git checkout tags/<release_number> -b <release_number>
+# e.g. `git checkout tags/0.12.0 -b 0.12.0`
+```
+
+Check that `.env` file contains:
+
+```bash
+MF_RELEASE_TAG=<release_number>
+```
+
+>`docker-compose` should be used for development and testing deployments. For production we suggest using [Kubernetes](https://mainflux.readthedocs.io/en/latest/kubernetes/).
+
+## Usage
+
+The quickest way to start using Mainflux is via the CLI. The latest version can be downloaded from the [official releases page][rel].
+
+It can also be built and used from the project's root directory:
+
+```bash
+make cli
+./build/mainflux-cli version
+```
+
+Additional details on using the CLI can be found in the [CLI documentation](https://mainflux.readthedocs.io/en/latest/cli/).
+
+## Documentation
+
+Official documentation is hosted at [Mainflux Read The Docs page][docs]. Documentation is auto-generated, checkout the instructions on [official docs repository](https://github.com/mainflux/docs):
+
+If you spot an error or a need for corrections, please let us know - or even better: send us a PR.
+
+Additional practical information, news and tutorials can be found on the [Mainflux blog][blog].

+# Auth - Authentication and Authorization service
+
+Auth service provides authentication features as an API for managing authentication keys as well as administering groups of entities - `things` and `users`. 
+
+# Authentication
+User service is using Auth service gRPC API to obtain login token or password reset token. Authentication key consists of the following fields:
+- ID - key ID
+- Type - one of the three types described below
+- IssuerID - an ID of the Mainflux User who issued the key
+- Subject - user email
+- IssuedAt - the timestamp when the key is issued
+- ExpiresAt - the timestamp after which the key is invalid
+
+There are *three types of authentication keys*:
+
+- User key - keys issued to the user upon login request
+- API key - keys issued upon the user request
+- Recovery key - password recovery key
+
+Authentication keys are represented and distributed by the corresponding [JWT](jwt.io).
+
+User keys are issued when user logs in. Each user request (other than `registration` and `login`) contains user key that is used to authenticate the user.
+
+API keys are similar to the User keys. The main difference is that API keys have configurable expiration time. If no time is set, the key will never expire. For that reason, API keys are _the only key type that can be revoked_. This also means that, despite being used as a JWT, it requires a query to the database to validate the API key. The user with API key can perform all the same actions as the user with login key (can act on behalf of the user for Thing, Channel, or user profile management), *except issuing new API keys*.
+
+Recovery key is the password recovery key. It's short-lived token used for password recovery process.
+
+For in-depth explanation of the aforementioned scenarios, as well as thorough
+understanding of Mainflux, please check out the [official documentation][doc].
+
+The following actions are supported:
+
+- create (all key types)
+- verify (all key types)
+- obtain (API keys only)
+- revoke (API keys only)
+
+# Groups
+User and Things service are using Auth gRPC API to get the list of ids that are part of a group. Groups can be organized as tree structure.
+Group consists of the following fields:
+
+- ID - ULID id uniquely representing group
+- Name - name of the group, name of the group is unique at the same level of tree hierarchy for a given tree.
+- ParentID - id of the parent group
+- OwnerID - id of the user that created a group
+- Description - free form text, up to 1024 characters
+- Metadata - Arbitrary, object-encoded group's data
+- Path - tree path consisting of group ids
+- CreatedAt - timestamp at which the group is created
+- UpdatedAt - timestamp at which the group is updated
+
+## Configuration
+
+The service is configured using the environment variables presented in the
+following table. Note that any unset variables will be replaced with their
+default values.

+
+## Deployment
+
+The service itself is distributed as Docker container. Check the [`auth`](https://github.com/mainflux/mainflux/blob/master/docker/docker-compose.yml#L71-L94) service section in 
+docker-compose to see how service is deployed.
+
+
+To start the service outside of the container, execute the following shell script:
+
+```bash
+# download the latest version of the service
+go get github.com/mainflux/mainflux
+
+cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/mainflux/mainflux
+
+# compile the service
+make auth
+
+# copy binary to bin
+make install
+
+# set the environment variables and run the service
+MF_AUTH_LOG_LEVEL=[Service log level] MF_AUTH_DB_HOST=[Database host address] MF_AUTH_DB_PORT=[Database host port] MF_AUTH_DB_USER=[Database user] MF_AUTH_DB_PASS=[Database password] MF_AUTH_DB=[Name of the database used by the service] MF_AUTH_DB_SSL_MODE=[SSL mode to connect to the database with] MF_AUTH_DB_SSL_CERT=[Path to the PEM encoded certificate file] MF_AUTH_DB_SSL_KEY=[Path to the PEM encoded key file] MF_AUTH_DB_SSL_ROOT_CERT=[Path to the PEM encoded root certificate file] MF_AUTH_HTTP_PORT=[Service HTTP port] MF_AUTH_GRPC_PORT=[Service gRPC port] MF_AUTH_SECRET=[String used for signing tokens] MF_AUTH_SERVER_CERT=[Path to server certificate] MF_AUTH_SERVER_KEY=[Path to server key] MF_JAEGER_URL=[Jaeger server URL] $GOBIN/mainflux-auth
+```
+
+If `MF_EMAIL_TEMPLATE` doesn't point to any file service will function but password reset functionality will not work.
+

+# BOOTSTRAP SERVICE
+
+New devices need to be configured properly and connected to the Mainflux. Bootstrap service is used in order to accomplish that. This service provides the following features:
+
+  1) Creating new Mainflux Things
+  2) Providing basic configuration for the newly created Things
+  3) Enabling/disabling Things
+
+Pre-provisioning a new Thing is as simple as sending Configuration data to the Bootstrap service. Once the Thing is online, it sends a request for initial config to Bootstrap service. Bootstrap service provides an API for enabling and disabling Things. Only enabled Things can exchange messages over Mainflux. Bootstrapping does not implicitly enable Things, it has to be done manually.
+
+In order to bootstrap successfully, the Thing needs to send bootstrapping request to the specific URL, as well as a secret key. This key and URL are pre-provisioned during the manufacturing process. If the Thing is provisioned on the Bootstrap service side, the corresponding configuration will be sent as a response. Otherwise, the Thing will be saved so that it can be provisioned later.
+
+## Thing Configuration Entity
+
+Thing Configuration consists of two logical parts: the custom configuration that can be interpreted by the Thing itself and Mainflux-related configuration. Mainflux config contains:
+
+  1) corresponding Mainflux Thing ID
+  2) corresponding Mainflux Thing key
+  3) list of the Mainflux channels the Thing is connected to
+
+>Note: list of channels contains IDs of the Mainflux channels. These channels are _pre-provisioned_ on the Mainflux side and, unlike corresponding Mainflux Thing, Bootstrap service is not able to create Mainflux Channels.
+
+Enabling and disabling Thing (adding Thing to/from whitelist) is as simple as connecting corresponding Mainflux Thing to the given list of Channels. Configuration keeps _state_ of the Thing:
+
+| State    | What it means                                          |
+|----------|--------------------------------------------------------|
+| Inactive | Thing is created, but isn't enabled                    |
+| Active   | Thing is able to communicate using Mainflux            |
+
+Switching between states `Active` and `Inactive` enables and disables Thing, respectively.
+
+Thing configuration also contains the so-called `external ID` and `external key`. An external ID is a unique identifier of corresponding Thing. For example, a device MAC address is a good choice for external ID. External key is a secret key that is used for authentication during the bootstrapping procedure.
+
+## Configuration
+
+The service is configured using the environment variables presented in the following table. Note that any unset variables will be replaced with their default values.
+
+| Variable                      | Description                                                             | Default                          |

+
+## Deployment
+
+The service itself is distributed as Docker container. Check the [`boostrap`](https://github.com/mainflux/mainflux/blob/master/docker/addons/bootstrap/docker-compose.yml#L32-L56) service section in 
+docker-compose to see how service is deployed.
+
+To start the service outside of the container, execute the following shell script:
+
+```bash
+# download the latest version of the service
+git clone https://github.com/mainflux/mainflux
+
+cd mainflux
+
+# compile the service
+make bootstrap
+
+# copy binary to bin
+make install
+
+# set the environment variables and run the service
+MF_BOOTSTRAP_LOG_LEVEL=[Bootstrap log level] \
+MF_BOOTSTRAP_DB_HOST=[Database host address] \
+MF_BOOTSTRAP_DB_PORT=[Database host port] \
+MF_BOOTSTRAP_DB_USER=[Database user] \
+MF_BOOTSTRAP_DB_PASS=[Database password] \
+MF_BOOTSTRAP_DB=[Name of the database used by the service] \
+MF_BOOTSTRAP_DB_SSL_MODE=[SSL mode to connect to the database with] \
+MF_BOOTSTRAP_DB_SSL_CERT=[Path to the PEM encoded certificate file] \
+MF_BOOTSTRAP_DB_SSL_KEY=[Path to the PEM encoded key file] \
+MF_BOOTSTRAP_DB_SSL_ROOT_CERT=[Path to the PEM encoded root certificate file] \
+MF_BOOTSTRAP_ENCRYPT_KEY=[Hex-encoded encryption key used for secure bootstrap] \
+MF_BOOTSTRAP_CLIENT_TLS=[Boolean value to enable/disable client TLS] \
+MF_BOOTSTRAP_CA_CERTS=[Path to trusted CAs in PEM format] \
+MF_BOOTSTRAP_PORT=[Service HTTP port] \
+MF_BOOTSTRAP_SERVER_CERT=[Path to server certificate] \
+MF_BOOTSTRAP_SERVER_KEY=[Path to server key] \
+MF_SDK_BASE_URL=[Base SDK URL for the Mainflux services] \
+MF_SDK_THINGS_PREFIX=[SDK prefix for Things service] \
+MF_JAEGER_URL=[Jaeger server URL] \
+MF_AUTH_GRPC_URL=[Auth service gRPC URL] \
+MF_AUTH_GRPC_TIMEOUT=[Auth service gRPC request timeout in seconds] \
+$GOBIN/mainflux-bootstrap
+```
+
+Setting `MF_BOOTSTRAP_CA_CERTS` expects a file in PEM format of trusted CAs. This will enable TLS against the Users gRPC endpoint trusting only those CAs that are provided.

+# Certs Service
+Issues certificates for things. `Certs` service can create certificates to be used when `Mainflux` is deployed to support mTLS.
+Certificate service can create certificates in two modes:
+1. Development mode - to be used when no PKI is deployed, this works similar to the [make thing_cert](../docker/ssl/Makefile)
+2. PKI mode - certificates issued by PKI, when you deploy `Vault` as PKI certificate management `cert` service will proxy requests to `Vault` previously checking access rights and saving info on successfully created certificate. 
+   
+## Development mode
+If `MF_CERTS_VAULT_HOST` is empty than Development mode is on.
+
+To issue a certificate:
+```bash
+
+TOK=`curl  -s --insecure -S -X POST http://localhost/tokens -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"email":"edge@email.com","password":"12345678"}' | jq -r '.token'`
+
+curl -s -S  -X POST  http://localhost:8204/certs -H "Authorization: $TOK" -H 'Content-Type: application/json'   -d '{"thing_id":<thing_id>, "key_bits":2048, "key_type":"rsa"}'
+```
+
+```json

+## PKI mode
+
+When `MF_CERTS_VAULT_HOST` is set it is presumed that `Vault` is installed and `certs` service will issue certificates using `Vault` API.
+First you'll need to set up `Vault`. 
+To setup `Vault` follow steps in [Build Your Own Certificate Authority (CA)](https://learn.hashicorp.com/tutorials/vault/pki-engine).
+
+To setup certs service with `Vault` following environment variables must be set:
+
+```
+MF_CERTS_VAULT_HOST=vault-domain.com
+MF_CERTS_VAULT_PKI_PATH=<vault_pki_path>
+MF_CERTS_VAULT_ROLE=<vault_role>
+MF_CERTS_VAULT_TOKEN=<vault_acces_token>
+```
+
+For lab purposes you can use docker-compose and script for setting up PKI in [https://github.com/mteodor/vault](https://github.com/mteodor/vault)
+
+Issuing certificate is same as in **Development** mode.
+In this mode certificates can also be revoked:
+
+```bash
+curl -s -S -X DELETE http://localhost:8204/certs/revoke -H "Authorization: $TOK" -H 'Content-Type: application/json'   -d '{"thing_id":"c30b8842-507c-4bcd-973c-74008cef3be5"}'
+```
