Install mosquitto MQTT on a raspberry

Add the repository source

wget http://repo.mosquitto.org/debian/mosquitto-repo.gpg.key
sudo apt-key add mosquitto-repo.gpg.key

Install the MQTT server.

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install mosquitto

Validate it’s running

/etc/init.d/mosquitto status

Bonus. Run inside Docker.

Instead of installing directly in the machine, you can install it on Docker too.

Download the Docker image. This will download the “latest” version of the image.

docker pull eclipse-mosquitto

To run for the first time

docker run -it -p 1883:1883 -p 9001:9001 eclipse-mosquitto

There are two more options. Link with a configuration file and persist file storage. More on that, in the link bellow.
