Install Mosquitto and its command line clients

sudo apt-get install mosquitto
sudo apt-get install mosquitto-clients

Check it’s running

sudo service mosquitto status

What you want to see is something like

chip@chip:/etc/apt/sources.list.d$ sudo service mosquitto status
● mosquitto.service - LSB: mosquitto MQTT v3.1 message broker
   Loaded: loaded (/etc/init.d/mosquitto)
   Active: active (running) since Sat 2017-01-14 23:56:42 UTC; 1min 21s ago
   CGroup: /system.slice/mosquitto.service
           └─17566 /usr/sbin/mosquitto -c /etc/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf

Jan 14 23:56:41 chip mosquitto[17546]: Starting network daemon:: mosquitto.
Jan 14 23:56:42 chip systemd[1]: Started LSB: mosquitto MQTT v3.1 message broker.

To start, stop and restart the broker in future, use the commands

sudo service mosquitto start
sudo service mosquitto stop
sudo service mosquitto restart

Test that it’s working

In your existing terminal, subscribe to the “testtopic” topic

mosquitto_sub -h localhost -t "testtopic" -v

Then open another terminal and send a message on that topic

mosquitto_pub -h localhost -t "testtopic" -m "Testing"

If all goes well then should see the message printed to the first terminal

chip@chip:~$ mosquitto_sub -h localhost -t "testtopic" -v
testtopic Testing

Success! You have a working MQTT broker running on the default port 1883.

Adding Websocket protocol support

Currently we only have MQTT protocol, so to enable Websockets on port 1884, we need to configure and restart Mosquitto. To do this, start by creating a configuration file in the appropriate location. I’ve called mine protocols.conf.

sudo vi /etc/mosquitto/conf.d/protocols.conf

Define the contents like so

listener 1883
protocol mqtt

listener 1884
protocol websockets

And again, restart with

sudo service mosquitto restart
