| Re: [mosquitto-dev] Broker Questions |
Hi, * How/Can I set a domain name for the Mosquitto broker? For normal MQTT there is no domain name to set, you don't do virtual host based hosting like you can do with HTTP it's just a port at a known IP address since the protocol doesn't encode the hostname in any part of the connection packet you can't use it to route to different broker instances based on the hostname used to connect to that single IP address. Having said that it is possible to do this with both MQTT over Websockets and MQTT over TLS using a frontend proxy (e.g. Nginx or Traefik) since those wrapper protocols do include the hostname. See the following 2 blog posts for details https://www.hardill.me.uk/wordpress/2020/10/14/hostname-based-proxying-with-mqtt/ https://www.hardill.me.uk/wordpress/2020/10/17/more-mqtt-virtualhost-proxying/ * Is there a typical IP means for discovering MQTT brokers? You can use DNS SRV records to discover a MQTT broker or similarly mDNS to do local (on same subnet) broker discovery. e.g. _mqtt._tcp or _mqtts._tcp On 20/10/2020 01:00, Leinen, Rick wrote: > I’m just starting out with MQTT and am wondering a couple of things: > > > > * How/Can I set a domain name for the Mosquitto broker? > * Is there a typical IP means for discovering MQTT brokers? > > > > Thanks, > > > > *Rick Leinen* > Sr. Engineering Manager - R&D Projects > > Controls > *T: *503 404-5561*| C: *503 860-6305 > > *Leviton Manufacturing Co., Inc.* > 20497 SW Teton Ave, Tualatin, OR 97062 > www.leviton.com <http://www.leviton.com/> *| *rleinen@xxxxxxxxxxx > <mailto:rleinen@xxxxxxxxxxx> > > /Stay Connected with Leviton Mobile Apps: www.leviton.com/apps > <http://www.leviton.com/apps> / > > > > > _______________________________________________ > mosquitto-dev mailing list > mosquitto-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe from this list, visit https://www.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/mosquitto-dev > -- https://www.hardill.me.uk/wordpress https://github.com/hardillb https://about.me/hardillb https://flickr.com/photos/hardillb/ https://keybase.io/hardillb
