MQTT Broker Server

Description

These are Docker Compose file and configuration files to run an MQTT broker server using Mosquitto. Additionally, the compose file includes Node-RED to provide a web interface for interacting with the broker and creating flows. Finally, Caddy serves as a reverse proxy, securing connections to both the broker and Node-RED.

Configuration

• mosquitto.conf: Mosquitto configuration file.
• settings.js: Node-RED configuration file.
• Caddyfile: Caddy configuration file.

Getting Started

1. Ensure you have Docker installed on your system.

   docker --version

2. Configure the Mosquitto MQTT broker in the mosquitto.conf file as needed.

3. Change the domain name in the Caddyfile to your own domain name.

   mqtt.example.com { # Change this to your domain name
       reverse_proxy mosquitto:1883
   }

4. Configure Node-RED in the settings.js file. It is recommended to change the users and passwords in the adminAuth section.

   adminAuth: {
       type: "credentials",
       users: [{
           username: "admin",             // Change this to your desired username
           password: "$2a$08$1J9Z6z7...", // Change this to your hashed password by bcrypt
           permissions: "*"               // Change this to your desired permissions
       }]
   }

5. Run the following command to start the services.

   docker compose up -d
