EMQX is a robust, scalable, and secure MQTT message broker that can be used to manage IoT devices and data. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing EMQX on a NetBSD operating system.
Before proceeding with the installation of EMQX, make sure that your NetBSD operating system is updated and has the following requirements installed:
First, download the latest version of EMQX from the official website using the following command:
$ git clone https://github.com/emqx/emqx-rel.git
To compile and build EMQX, navigate to the directory where you have downloaded it and execute the following commands:
$ cd emqx-rel
$ make
This will initiate the compilation and building process of EMQX. Wait for the process to complete.
Once EMQX is compiled, start it using the following command:
$ ./_rel/emqx/bin/emqx start
This will start the EMQX server. You can monitor the server logs using the following command:
$ ./_rel/emqx/bin/emqx_ctl console
To verify that EMQX has been installed successfully, open your web browser and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:18083/. This will take you to the EMQX dashboard.
Congratulations, you have successfully installed EMQX on NetBSD. You can now use EMQX to manage IoT devices and data. If you encounter any issues during the installation process, refer to EMQX's official documentation or contact their support team.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
