⁠What is Eclipse Kura?

Eclipse Kura, from the maori word for "tank"/"container"⁠, is an open source OSGi-based Application Framework for M2M Service Gateways.

Kura offers API access to the hardware interfaces of IoT Gateways (serial ports, GPS, watchdog, GPIOs, I2C, etc.). It features ready-to-use field protocols (including Modbus, OPC-UA, S7), an application container, and a web-based visual data flow programming to acquire data from the field, process it at the edge, and publish it to leading IoT Cloud Platforms through MQTT connectivity.

For more information, see the Github project page⁠.

⁠Image Versions

Eclipse Kura containers tags follow the mainline project versioning with two exceptions:

• latest tag corresponds to the latest released version of Kura
• nightly tag corresponds the nightly Docker image build of Kura (i.e. the develop branch) which is built every weekend.

⁠Image Variants

Eclipse Kura 6.X and later releases are only provided as a single image variant based on debian slim⁠.

Eclipse Kura 5.X (and earlier) container comes in two main variants:

• eclipse/kura:<version>-alpine-x86_64: This image is based on the Alpine Linux project⁠, available in the alpine official image⁠. This variant is useful for reducing final size image footprint as much as possible.
• eclipse/kura:<version>-ubi8-x86_64: This image is based on the Red Hat Universal Base Image 8 Minimal, available in the ubi8/ubi-minimal official image.
