My repository including MQTT and Dashboard modules
-
add .env file At the root level of the solution (same level of the deployment.template.json) add a .env file including:
CONTAINER_REGISTRY_USERNAME_edgemodules="The-name-of-your-registry" CONTAINER_REGISTRY_PASSWORD_edgemodules="The-password-of-your-registry"
-
(optional), edit module settings For each module you can edit the module.json file, and modify:
"repository": "afoedgemodules.azurecr.io/dashboardmodule"
"version": "0.0.6",

Subscribe to Topics from a MQTT Broker, to receive and forward messages to Azure IoT Hub
To setup this module :
-
you first need to install a MQTT Broker (we installed Mosquitto on the same machine)
-
you need to configure Mosquitto to use TLS with a custom port (8883 is already in use with Azure Iot Edge)
=> follow this configuration step by step: http://www.steves-internet-guide.com/mosquitto-tls/ -
once your Mosquitto instance configured, update the Module Twins accordingly:
"MQTTClientModule": {
"properties.desired":{
"Temp_Threshold":100,
"MQTT_BROKER_ADDRESS":"192.168.0.32",
"MQTT_BROKER_PORT":4321,
"NBDevices":2,
"Device1_ID":"Dev367",
"Device1_Schema":"DefaultEngine",
"Device1_DataTopic":"Dev367/data",
"Device1_FeedbackTopic":"Dev367/feedback",
"Device2_ID":"Dev7854",
"Device2_Schema":"DefaultEngine",
"Device2_DataTopic":"Dev7854/data",
"Device2_FeedbackTopic":"Dev7854/feedback"
} } -
Finally update the certificate used by the module to authenticate against Mosquitto (CA.crt file in the folder /certs)
Visualize data that are received by the MQTT Client module and sent to Azure IoT Hub
for the moment you need to update the source code to adapt to your device definitions.
Changes to come to simplify the customization through Module Twins
