IoT Tunneling LocalProxy Raspberry support

0

Hi,

I am looking to try out IoT Secure Tunneling to see if it fits my needs.
I am trying to build the files for the localproxy on a raspberry device (raspbian stretch / buster) but have a lot of issues with the packages (mostly with boost).
I have 2 questions -

  1. Is there a pre-built version for raspbian, specifically for stretch?
  2. If not, how can I skip building the tests (as it seems most issues Im having are there) ?

And last question - is it possible to use Secure tunneling with any other proxy client ?

Thank you

Hi,

We don't have a pre-built version for raspbian. We only offer the source code of the local proxy and customer can build in the platform of their choice. I encourage you to try the docker image https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-iot-securetunneling-localproxy#building-the-local-proxy-via-docker , which eliminates the trouble for building for specific platform and provide a general application isolation. Thanks for the idea and the feedback though, our team will look into making it available natively on Raspbian.

You can modify the cmake file to not build the binary of localproxytest https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-iot-securetunneling-localproxy/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt#L5. localproxytest binary is suppose to run before localproxy and helps to detect if your platform is building and running successfully. If you have problem with localproxytest building, it might also indicate localproxy may not build/run successfully.

We're not exactly sure what alternative proxy client you are referring to. But HTTP proxy is currently not supported. You can refer here https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-iot-securetunneling-localproxy/issues/4 for more details. There isn't a different local proxy implementation currently available to try at this time.
