EMQX is an open-source MQTT message broker that is designed specifically for IoT applications. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install EMQX on the latest version of EndeavourOS.
Before you start, you need to have the following prerequisites:
The first thing you need to do is to add the EMQX repository to your system. Open the terminal window and execute the following command:
$ echo "deb https://repos.emqx.io/emqx-ce/debian/ buster main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/emqx.list
Once the EMQX repository is added to your system, you need to import the public GPG key:
$ wget -O - https://repos.emqx.io/gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -
After adding the repository and the key, it is time to update the system's package cache and install EMQX. To do that, run the following commands:
$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install emqx
After installing EMQX, the service will start automatically. You can check the status of the EMQX service by running the following command:
$ sudo systemctl status emqx
If the service is active and running, you should see the message "Active: active (running)" in the output.
EMQX provides a web-based dashboard that allows you to monitor and manage your MQTT messages. To access the dashboard, you need to open your web browser and navigate to the following URL:
