MQTT Broker for Node-RED based on Aedes.
You can use the MQTT protocol in Node-RED without an external MQTT broker like Mosquitto.
This node was created because the original MQTT broker node-red-contrib-mqtt-broker uses mosca which is no longer maintained.
You can install the node directly within the editor by using the Palette Manager.
To install the node from the command-line, you can use the following command from within your user data directory (by default, $HOME/.node-red):
npm install node-red-contrib-aedesJust put this node on Node-RED and hit the deploy button. The MQTT Broker will run on your Node-RED instance.
- Standard TCP Support
- WebSocket Support via port or path
- SSL / TLS
- Message Persistence (In-memory, LevelDB or MongoDB)
For more information see Aedes.
If your server is behind a firewall or you cannot open any ports other than the standard http/https ports, the MQTT broker node can be accessible by public clients through a WebSocket path.
When your Node-RED server address is https://yourserver/, you can set the WebSocket to bind to, e.g., "/ws/mqtt" path, to have wss://yourserver/ws/mqtt WebSocket at port 443.
You can also bind the WebSocket to the root "/" path and having wss://yourserver/ WebSocket listening at port 443 (or ws://yourserver/ at port 80).
