I recently installed HiveMQ on a Ubuntu machine and everything works fine. Being new to Linux( I am more on windows guy) , I am stuck with following question.

  1. I started HiveMQ with command as ./bin/run.sh . A window opens and confirm that HiveMQ is running..Great !!!. I started this with putty and when I close the putty , HiveMQ also stops. How to make HiveMQ run all the time ?.

  2. I am using the HiveMQ for my IoT projects ( raspberry pi). I know to subscribe and publish to HiveMQ broker from python , but what confuses me is , should I be running the python program continuously to make this work ?. Assuming I need to trigger 2+ GPIO on Pi , can I write one program and keep it running by making it subscribe to 2+ topic for trigger events ?.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

  1. Start HiveMQ with the following: ./bin/run.sh &

  2. Yes it is possible to subscribe to two topics from the same application, but you need to create separate subscribers within your python application.

In order to start HiveMQ in the background, you can install it as a service. The details are covered in the documentation here. If you have a debian based system, execute the following commands:

cp /opt/hivemq/bin/init-script/hivemq-debian /etc/init.d/hivemq
chmod +x /etc/init.d/hivemq

For other Linux Systems the following should do it:

cp /opt/hivemq/bin/init-script/hivemq /etc/init.d/hivemq
chmod +x /etc/init.d/hivemq

Now you can start HiveMQ in the background with /etc/init.d/hivemq start.
