## Project history and usage

gateway-go is the LAN-side gateway client for OpenIoTHub. It runs inside a private network, displays a QR code for pairing with an OpenIoTHub client, and then receives remote access requests for local ports and devices.

### Project history

The repository was created in February 2020 and the early release stream produced many 0.1.x releases in the same year. The README frames the tool as an OpenIoTHub gateway comparable to frpc, with packages and images for routers, NAS devices, Docker, Snap, Homebrew, Scoop, and deb/rpm users.

### Adoption history

Official installation notes cover Homebrew, Snapcraft, Scoop, deb/rpm packages, Docker, OpenWrt/Entware/Optware, and NAS-oriented Docker installs. That breadth is the main adoption signal in official sources: gateway-go is packaged for always-on edge devices as much as developer laptops.

### How it is used

The common workflow is to run gateway-go on the LAN, scan the displayed QR code with the OpenIoTHub client, and then access network ports and services from the client side. The README also documents per-package configuration file locations for Homebrew, Snap, and deb/rpm installations.

### Why package nerds care

gateway-go is significant as a Go networking package that bridges developer package managers and appliance-style deployment targets. Its package surface spans Homebrew and Snap while also targeting OpenWrt and NAS environments, a pattern common in remote-access and homelab tooling.
