Mosquitto: 6. Change the configuration
This documentation is part of the Automate with the CLI guide. You can view the complete guide here: Start Mosquitto, retrieve its credentials, and modify its configuration programmatically using the Stackhero CLI.
👋 Welcome to the Stackhero documentation!
Stackhero provides you with a fully managed Mosquitto MQTT cloud environment, designed for reliability and flexibility:
- Unlimited message throughput and data transfers, so your workflows never encounter artificial limits.
- Unlimited device authentication via your own external API, making onboarding and access management straightforward.
- Advanced ACLs for precise control over topics, users, and actions.
- A custom domain name with integrated HTTPS for secure, branded endpoints (for example: https://mqtt.your-company.com).
- Effortless updates: apply improvements or security patches with a single click.
- Consistent performance and enhanced security, with every instance running on a private, dedicated infrastructure.
Accelerate your IoT projects and reduce operational overhead. You can have a secure, production-ready Mosquitto MQTT cloud hosting instance up and running in just a few minutes.
You can review an example configuration schema and then apply your own settings. When you update the configuration, the service may restart to apply the changes.
# View the configuration schema and an example for your service
stackhero service-configuration-example --service=svc-xxxxxx
# Apply a custom configuration (the service restarts if necessary)
stackhero service-configuration-set \
--service=svc-xxxxxx \
--configuration='{ "...": "..." }'
# Wait for the new configuration to be applied
stackhero service-wait-for --service=svc-xxxxxx
That is it. You have now seen the full lifecycle: start a service, retrieve its credentials, and reconfigure it, all in a scriptable, automated manner. To explore further, refer to the full CLI documentation, which also covers the non-interactive STACKHERO_TOKEN authentication demonstrated here.
