Mosquitto: 6. Change the configuration

This documentation is part of the Automate with the CLI guide. View the full guide here: Start Mosquitto, retrieve its credentials, and change its configuration programmatically with the Stackhero CLI.

👋 Welcome to the Stackhero documentation!

Stackhero gives you a fully managed Mosquitto MQTT cloud environment designed for reliability and flexibility:

• Unlimited message throughput and data transfers, so your workflows never hit artificial limits.
• Unlimited device authentication through your own external API, making onboarding and access management seamless.
• Advanced ACLs for fine-grained control over topics, users, and actions.
• A custom domain name with built-in HTTPS for secure, branded endpoints (for example: https://mqtt.your-company.com).
• Zero-hassle updates: apply improvements or security patches with a single click.
• Consistent performance and strong 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 needed)
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 way. To dive deeper, check out the full CLI documentation, which also covers the non-interactive STACKHERO_TOKEN authentication demonstrated here.
