MQTT at AWS

Couple years ago I set up an MQTT server on AWS. MQTT is meant more like a private server to me. But there was a need. So for my future self

This was needed to set it up

allow_anonymous false
password_file /etc/mosquitto/passwd
listener 8883 IP.GO.HE.RE
certfile /etc//mosquitto/cert.pem
cafile /etc/mosquitto/chain.pem
keyfile /etc/mosquitto/mosquitto.key

Then to add a password

mosquitto_passwd -c /etc/mosquitto/passwd alice

For the client to connect it is something like this

mosquitto_pub -h IP.GO.HE.RE -t test/topic -p 8883 --cafile fullchain.crt -u "alice" -P "abcd1234" -m "Testing"

Kind of cool, but just in case I need an MQTT Mosquitto server in the future.

Today got my steps done early and easily.
