Mosquitto for Windows
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
Mosquitto for Windows comes in 32-bit and 64-bit flavours.
|
|
|
|
In both cases, the dependencies are not provided in this installer and must be
|
|
installed separately in the case that they are not already available.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Capabilities
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Some versions of Windows have limitations on the number of concurrent
|
|
connections, set at approximately 2048 connections depending on the version of
|
|
Windows you are using.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Websockets
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
The broker executables provided in the installers have Websockets support
|
|
through a statically compiled version of libwebsockets and is being distributed
|
|
under the Static Linking Exception (Section 2) of the License. As a result, the
|
|
content is not subject to the LGPL 2.1.
|
|
|
|
Please note that on Windows, libwebsockets limits connections to a maximum of 64 clients.
|
|
|
|
Library Thread Support
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
libmosquitto on Windows is currently compiled without thread support, so
|
|
neither of mosquitto_loop_start() nor "mosquitto_pub -l" are available.
|
|
|
|
A better solution that the old pthreads-win32 is being looked into, so support
|
|
will return in the future. If you need thread support, the code still supports
|
|
it just fine. Support has been dropped to simplify installation.
|
|
|
|
Dependencies
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
* OpenSSL
|
|
Link: http://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html
|
|
Install "Win32 OpenSSL 1.1.0* Light" or "Win64 OpenSSL 1.1.0* Light"
|
|
Required DLLs: libssl-1_1.dll, libcrypto-1_1.dll or libssl-1_1-x64.dll, libcrypto-1_1-x64.dll
|
|
|
|
Please ensure that the required DLLs are on the system path, or are in the same directory as
|
|
the mosquitto executable - usually C:\Program Files (x86)\mosquitto or C:\Program Files\mosquitto.
|
|
|
|
Windows Service
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
If you wish, mosquitto can be installed as a Windows service so you can
|
|
start/stop it from the control panel as well as running it as a normal
|
|
executable.
|
|
|
|
When running as a service, the configuration file used is mosquitto.conf in the
|
|
directory that you installed to.
|
|
|
|
If you want to install/uninstall mosquitto as a Windows service run from the
|
|
command line as follows:
|
|
|
|
C:\Program Files\mosquitto\mosquitto install
|
|
C:\Program Files\mosquitto\mosquitto uninstall
|
