TCP-MQTT Forwarder

Simple utility that forwards TCP incoming payloads to a MQTT server over the specified topic.

Quick start in development mode

You can launch the server in dev mode with Foreman utility here https://github.com/ddollar/foreman. After Foreman install simply issue foreman start command in the local folder to start the server.

Quick compile binaries

You can also compile go source code thanks to the makefile here. Simply issue make all to compile binaries for amd64, 386 and arm platforms.

Quick debian package build

You can also prepare a debian package that could be installed directly on your server and be production ready. Simply issue make deb command here.

After debian package install you will find the json file at the following path:

/etc/tcp-mqtt-forwarder/config.json

The server is managed by a SystemD unit, you can control the service with:

sudo systemctl status tcp-mqtt-forwarder

sudo systemctl start tcp-mqtt-forwarder

sudo systemctl stop tcp-mqtt-forwarder

sudo systemctl restart tcp-mqtt-forwarder
