Using mosquitto on a mac
-
install mqtt server
brew install mosquitto -
start the mqtt server
brew services restart mosquitto -
Do a quick test of server, start a subscriber on a topic:
Note: this will wait until you press control-c (publish a message, see below)
mosquitto_sub -t test/hello -
In another window, publish a message to that topic:
mosquitto_pub -h localhost -q 0 -t test/hello -m 'yo!' -
For Meshtastic to be able to access that server, two settings need to be changed in the
/usr/local/etc/mosquitto/mosquitto.conffile:listener 1883 0.0.0.0
allow_anonymous true -
Restart the service:
brew services restart mosquitto -
If you are using the mac firewall, you will need to go into: System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Firewall > Firewall Options and add it.
