rwblinn Posted February 18, 2016 at 02:08 PM Posted February 18, 2016 at 02:08 PM Hi, noticed that the brick-mqtt-proxy is not by default installed on the red-brick - using image 1.8 What is the best way to install on the red-brick the brick-mqtt-proxy and ensure it is automatically started during boot?

rwblinn Posted February 29, 2016 at 10:04 AM Author Posted February 29, 2016 at 10:04 AM Hi, tried to install on the RED Brick via Brick Viewer > RED Brick > Programs. After creating, receiving following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "brick-mqtt-proxy.py", line 1003, in <module> proxy.connect() File "brick-mqtt-proxy.py", line 888, in connect self.client.connect(self.broker_host, self.broker_port) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/paho/mqtt/client.py", line 612, in connect return self.reconnect() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/paho/mqtt/client.py", line 734, in reconnect sock = socket.create_connection((self._host, self._port), source_address=(self._bind_address, 0)) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/socket.py", line 571, in create_connection raise err socket.error: [Errno 97] Address family not supported by protocol The red brick configuration file (tfrba) is attached. Any help appreciated.red-brick-export-20160229-110050.tfrba Quote
photron Posted February 29, 2016 at 11:47 AM Posted February 29, 2016 at 11:47 AM Uploading it as a program like that is the correct way to go. The error message is a bit misleading. The script tries to connect to an MQTT broker as localhost:1883 by default. If there is no such broker then you get that error message. You need to install an MQTT broker on the RED Brick or tell the script to connect to another broker. You can install a broker with this command on the RED Brick: sudo apt-get install mosquitto Quote
rwblinn Posted February 29, 2016 at 12:45 PM Author Posted February 29, 2016 at 12:45 PM Thanks for your help. Installed Mosquitto by using: sudo apt-get install mosquitto mosquitto-clients python-mosquitto It is working fine now. Quote
