This tutorial will guide you through the process of installing Mars Server on OpenSUSE Latest. Mars Server is an open-source, lightweight and easy-to-use server for MQTT communication protocol. It allows you to connect devices and sensors to the internet using MQTT protocol.
Before you proceed with the installation, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to install the necessary dependencies for Mars Server to run. Open the terminal and type the following command:
sudo zypper install gcc-c++ cmake make mosquitto mosquitto-devel libjsoncpp-devel
This command will install the required tools and libraries for Mars Server to compile successfully.
In this step, we will download the source code of Mars Server from its GitHub repository and compile it.
Open the terminal and clone the Mars Server repository using the following command:
git clone https://github.com/borjapazr/mars-server.git
Navigate to the Mars Server directory:
cd mars-server
Create a build directory:
mkdir build
Change to the build directory:
cd build
Compile the source code with the following command:
cmake ..
make
Once the compilation process is completed, Mars Server will be ready to run.
In this step, we will start Mars Server.
Navigate to the Mars Server directory:
cd /path/to/mars-server
Replace /path/to/mars-server with the actual path to Mars Server directory.
Start the Mars Server using the following command:
./build/mars
The server will start listening for incoming MQTT messages.
That's it! You have successfully installed Mars Server on OpenSUSE Latest. You can now use it to connect devices and sensors to the internet using MQTT protocol. If you encounter any issues during the installation process, please refer to the Mars Server documentation or ask for help from the community.
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!
