How to Install EMQX on EndeavourOS Latest

EMQX is an open-source MQTT message broker that is designed specifically for IoT applications. In this tutorial, you will learn how to install EMQX on the latest version of EndeavourOS.

Prerequisites

Before you start, you need to have the following prerequisites:

  • A running instance of EndeavourOS.
  • Root or sudo user privileges.

Step 1: Add the EMQX Repository

The first thing you need to do is to add the EMQX repository to your system. Open the terminal window and execute the following command:

$ echo "deb https://repos.emqx.io/emqx-ce/debian/ buster main" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/emqx.list

Once the EMQX repository is added to your system, you need to import the public GPG key:

$ wget -O - https://repos.emqx.io/gpg.key | sudo apt-key add -

Step 2: Install EMQX

After adding the repository and the key, it is time to update the system's package cache and install EMQX. To do that, run the following commands:

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install emqx

After installing EMQX, the service will start automatically. You can check the status of the EMQX service by running the following command:

$ sudo systemctl status emqx

If the service is active and running, you should see the message "Active: active (running)" in the output.

Step 3: Accessing the EMQX Dashboard

EMQX provides a web-based dashboard that allows you to monitor and manage your MQTT messages. To access the dashboard, you need to open your web browser and navigate to the following URL:

http://<your-ip>:18083

Replace "" with the actual IP address of your EndeavourOS system. If you are accessing the dashboard from the same system, you can use "localhost" instead of the IP address. Then, you will be prompted to enter the default username "admin" and password "public". It is highly recommended that you change the default password after logging in for the first time.

##Conclusion

In this tutorial, you learned how to install EMQX on the latest version of EndeavourOS and access the web-based dashboard. You can start using EMQX to deploy your MQTT messages and develop your IoT applications.
