I’m confused why this post is on the front page of HN. This isn’t new and they haven’t done a new release or something. Mosquitto is good and used all over the place but not sure why this is being posted.
I'm the OP - I just stumbled upon this project because I setup a self hosted MQTT server to read/write to/from a small PDU. Mosquitto worked great for that!
I hadn't heard of it, and thought to share it here. I'm not sure why people are upvoting it - but it's not impossible that others are interested in this topic as well..! Cheers
Maybe NanoMQ 0.25, Rabbitmq 4.4, EMQX 6.3 or VerneMQ 2.2 would have been a bit more newsworthy. Mosquito seems to the rather boring but but stable reference for MQTT for years now.
Exactly, I honestly checked link thinking there's v6 of mqtt protocol and I slept something and was confused. So I checked comments because maybe I'm to stupid but nope. There's literally nothing
Since we are into it, just sharing then: I had a lot of success with RabbitMQ + it's MQTT plugin. AFAIK, it actually has the MQTT plugin now baked in by default. Never had any issue at scale, plus you get AMQP in your stack, and you can actually use AMQP to consume the messages originally received over MQTT.
Now the default seems to be EMQX, there's also a possible project to include MQTT5 compatibility in NATS (but they push back because they are selling this in their Entreprise version), what stack do people use here for MQTT?
