Examples:

config file
aedes --stats -v --statsInterval 2000 Starts Aedes broker with stats
enabled
aedes --credentials ./credentials.json Add/Modify user1 with password1 to
adduser user1 password1 credentials
aedes --credentials ./credentials.json Removes user1 from credentials
rmuser user1
```
To fully use Aedes you need to define a configuration file where the communication
broker is defined. Here follows an example using Mongodb.
A configuration file is structured in the following way:
```js
module.exports = {
protos: ['tcp'],
host: '0.0.0.0',
port: 1883,
wsPort: 3000,
wssPort: 4000,
tlsPort: 8883,
brokerId: 'aedes-cli',
credentials: './credentials.json',
persistence: {
name: 'mongodb',
options: {
url: 'mongodb://127.0.0.1/aedes'
}
},
mq: {
name: 'mongodb',
options: {
url: 'mongodb://127.0.0.1/aedes'
}
},
key: null,
cert: null,
rejectUnauthorized: true,
verbose: false,
veryVerbose: false,
noPretty: false
}
```
## Programmatically
You can also use `aedes-cli` programmatically:
```js
const { start, adduser, rmuser } = require('aedes-cli')
start({
protos: ['tcp'],
})
```
## Docker
`aedes-cli` is available on [Docker-Hub](https://hub.docker.com/r/moscajs/aedes) for `amd64, arm64v8, arm32v6, arm32v7, i386` archs. If you want to use a local `credentials.json` file and/or a custom config file to pass using `--config` option you have to use docker volumes and map the local folder containing those files to a folder inside the container.
Minimal example:
`docker run --rm -it -p 1883:1883 moscajs/aedes:latest`
Example with custom config file:
`docker run --rm -it -p 1883:1883 -v $(pwd):/data moscajs/aedes:latest --config /data/myConfig.js`
- `-v $(pwd):/data` will map the local folder from where you are running this command to `/data` folder of the container
- `--config /data/myConfig.js` will tell aedes to use the configuration file that is in your local folder
[Here](/docker/docker-compose.yml) there is an example with `docker-compose` that runs aedes with `mongodb` as persistence
```yml
version: '3.7'
services:
aedes:
container_name: aedes
image: moscajs/aedes:latest
restart: always
stop_signal: SIGINT
networks:
- mqtt
command: --config /data/mongodbConfig.js # add here the options to pass to aedes
volumes:
- ./:/data # map the local folder to aedes
ports:
- '1883:1883'
- '3000:3000'
- '4000:4000'
- '8883:8883'
mongo:
container_name: mongo
networks:
- mqtt
logging:
driver: none
image: mvertes/alpine-mongo
volumes:
- db-data:/data/db
ports:
- "27017:27017"
volumes:
db-data:
name: db-data
networks:
mqtt:
```
When using persistences with docker-compose file remember that the database url will be the name of the service in docker-compose, in the mongo example it will be: `mongodb://mongo/dbName`.
## Authorization
Aedes supports user authentication through the use of a specific json file.
In order to create one run the following command.
```bash
// add a user
$ aedes adduser --credentials ./credentials.json
// add a user specifying the authorized topics
$ aedes adduser myuser mypass --credentials ./credentials.json \
--authorize-publish 'hello/*' --authorize-subscribe 'hello/*'
// remove a user
$ aedes rmuser myuser --credentials ./credentials.json
// start aedes with a specific set of credentials:
$ aedes --credentials ./credentials.json
```
The patterns are checked and validated using [Minimatch](https://github.com/isaacs/minimatch).
The credentials file is automatically reloaded by aedes when it receives a `SIGHUP`.
## Persistence and Emitters
The MQTT specification requires a persistent storage for offline QoS 1
subscription that has been done by an unclean client. Aedes offers several
persitance options.
Supported persistences are:
- [aedes-persistence]: In-memory implementation of an Aedes persistence
- [aedes-persistence-mongodb]: MongoDB persistence for Aedes
- [aedes-persistence-redis]: Redis persistence for Aedes
Emitters are needed to deliver messages to subscribed clients. In a cluster environment it is used also to share messages between brokers instances
All of them can be configured from the configuration file, under the `persistence` and `mq` key.
Supported mqemitters are:
- [mqemitter]: An opinionated memory Message Queue with an emitter-style API
- [mqemitter-redis]: Redis-powered mqemitter
- [mqemitter-mongodb]: Mongodb based mqemitter
