Quick Start

Connect your first device to Mesh of Things:

1. Create an account at dashboard.meshofthings.io.
2. Install Docker on the device. Docker Engine and Docker Desktop can both run the agent.
3. Open Devices in the dashboard and select Add device.
4. Leave Device count set to 1, review the device's network and access settings, and select Create device.
5. Copy the bootstrap command when it appears and run it on the device. The command contains enrollment material, so store and share it as a secret.
6. Open the device detail page. When the agent has connected, you can inspect containers, view logs, and start terminal sessions.
7. To deploy software, open Apps, create an app and a version, assign the device, and promote the version.

For multiple devices, increase Device count instead. Mesh of Things creates a background batch and provides a temporary ZIP containing the bootstrap commands when processing finishes. See Device Batches.
