I had some IoT devices that I wanted to integrate in my monitoring. For this I set up a MQTT broker as the MQTT protocol is a simple solution to send data from IoT devices to a server. This tutorial is focusing on setting up the server, but I also introduce a Python based MQTT client to test our installation.
On your server, first install mosquitto, our MQTT server/broker.
sudo apt-get install mosquitto Allow standard mqtt port in firewall (if you have ufw installed)
