Building

Install dependencies

sudo apt-get install make gcc libgnutls-dev ragel liburiparser-dev libmosquitto0-dev libev-dev libssl-dev

Build it

make

Run it

./mqtthttpd -v -r htdocs -l 8080 -n foo -s test.mosquitto.org -p 1883

Point a web browser at:

http://localhost:8080

HTTPS

To run with HTTPS, provide a certificate and key, eg.

./mqtthttpd -v -r htdocs -l 443 -n foo -s test.mosquitto.org -p 1883 -c ./libebb/examples/ca-cert.pem -k ./libebb/examples/ca-key.pem

Using ports 80 and 443

mqtthttpd should not be run as root. Install authbind (apt-get install authbind) to allow users to run services on low numbered ports.

sudo apt-get install authbind
sudo touch /etc/authbind/byport/80
sudo chmod 755 /etc/authbind/byport/80
sudo chown username.username /etc/authbind/byport/80
authbind ./mqtthttpd -v -r htdocs -l 80 -n foo -s test.mosquitto.org -p 1883
