Frequently Asked Questions about ThingsBoard Installation

Everything about installation, setup and operation

Themen

Installation & Setup

We set up ThingsBoard Core, PostgreSQL/Cassandra/TimescaleDB (depending on requirements), Redis, Message Queue (Kafka/RabbitMQ), Nginx as reverse proxy, SSL/TLS certificates and optional components like ThingsBoard Edge or IoT Gateway.

A basic installation takes 1-2 days. More complex setups with high availability, microservices architecture or extensive integrations can take 5-10 days.

Yes, we can install ThingsBoard on your existing infrastructure - whether on-premise servers, VMware, Proxmox, Kubernetes or cloud environments (AWS, Azure, Hetzner).

For most applications, we recommend PostgreSQL (simple, reliable) or TimescaleDB (optimized for time-series data). For very large deployments with millions of devices, Cassandra is ideal.

Infrastructure & Network

We configure firewalls, VPN access, TLS/SSL encryption for all connections, network segmentation and optional additional measures like Fail2ban, intrusion detection and DDoS protection.

Yes, we configure Nginx or Apache as a reverse proxy with SSL termination, load balancing and caching. This also enables running multiple services on one server.

Upon request, we set up separate test and staging environments to test updates and configuration changes before production deployment.

Through microservices architecture, load balancing, database replication, message queue clustering and optional multi-region deployments, we achieve high availability.

Devices & Protocols

ThingsBoard supports MQTT, MQTT over WebSocket, CoAP, HTTP, LwM2M and SNMP. We configure the protocols according to your device requirements.

Yes, we support you in migrating existing IoT devices from other platforms or legacy systems to ThingsBoard, including data migration and testing.

Yes, we configure integrations with AWS IoT, Azure IoT, IBM Watson, Kafka, REST APIs, MQTT brokers and other systems according to your requirements.

Operation & Scaling

We set up comprehensive monitoring with Prometheus, Grafana, alerting, log aggregation (ELK/Loki) and application performance monitoring.

Yes, we set up automatic backups for database, configurations and application data - with encryption, offsite storage and regular restore tests.

ThingsBoard scales horizontally by adding more nodes in microservices mode. We plan the architecture to be scalable from the start and can expand as needed.

Yes, we offer training for administrators and developers - from basic operation through dashboard creation to rule engine programming and API usage.

"

Timo and Robin from WZ-IT set up a RocketChat server for us - and I couldn't be more satisfied! From the initial consultation to the final implementation, everything was absolutely professional, efficient, and to my complete satisfaction. I particularly appreciate the clear communication, transparent pricing, and the comprehensive expertise that both bring to the table. Even after the setup, they take care of the maintenance, which frees up my time enormously and allows me to focus on other important areas of my business - with the good feeling that our IT is in the best hands. I can recommend WZ-IT without reservation and look forward to continuing our collaboration! (translated)

"

We have had very good experiences with Mr. Wevelsiep and WZ-IT. The consultation was professional, clearly understandable, and at fair prices. The team not only implemented our requirements but also thought along and proactively. Instead of just processing individual tasks, they provided us with well-founded explanations that strengthened our own understanding. WZ-IT took a lot of pressure off us with their structured approach - that was exactly what we needed and is the reason why we keep coming back. (translated)
