⁠What is ngsi-proxy?

The Orion Context Broker⁠ is a great piece of software for managing context information. Using the RESTful API provided from a web browser is easy and can also be simplified by the use of some library (e.g. ngsijs⁠). However, there is a limitation, Orion uses POST request for sending notifications. This notification mechanism makes imposible to directly receive them on a web page.

This NGSI proxy creates a server that is capable of receiving POST notifications and redirect them to web pages through an Event Source⁠ endpoint.

⁠How to use this image

⁠start a ngsi-proxy instance

$ docker run --name some-ngsiproxy -p 3000:3000 -d fiware/ngsiproxy

This image includes EXPOSE 3000 (default ngsi-proxy port), so standard container linking will make it automatically available to the linked containers. In that sense, if the ngsi-proxy service is going to be accessed from other containers, you will not need to publish port 3000 using the -p 3000:3000 option.
