SolarNetwork / solarnetwork-vernemq-docker

A Docker configuration for a VerneMQ MQTT broker configured for SolarNetwork development.

SolarNetwork Developer VerneMQ MQTT Broker Docker

This project contains a Docker configuration for a VerneMQ MQTT broker instance configured for SolarNetwork development. The container will be initialized with the following users from the vmq.passwd file:

User	Password
admin	admin
solarnet	solarnet
solarinstr	solarinstr

The vmq.acl permissions will be applied.

Using with SolarNet development

The default configuration for the SolarNet applications will be to connect to an MQTT broker at mqtt://localhost:1883. You must configure appropriate credentials, however. Typically this would be done by creating a development profile configuration file application-development.yml in the directory of the application, for example for SolarIn this would be solarnetwork-central/solarnet/solarin/application-development.yml. The MQTT settings you'd configure look like this:

app:
  solarqueue:
    connection:
      mqtt-config:
        username: "solarnet"
        password: "solarnet"

You can see the overall default settings in each application's src/main/resources/application.yml configuration file.

Building

You can use make with the following targets:

Target	Description
build	Create the Docker image
rebuild	Create the Docker image, ignoring any cached layers.
run	Launch the container
start	Start a previously stopped container
stop	Stop a launched container
remove	Remove the container.

Customize the VerneMQ port

By default VerneMQ will be listening on port 1883. You can customize that by passing PORT=X to the run target, like

make run PORT=1234
