Re: [mosquitto-dev] Starting/stopping bridges dynamically
|
As as aside, RSMB had, and still does have the ability to create,
delete, stop and start bridges dynamically. Although the commands are
received through the file system rather than topics -- that was for
security reasons at the time.
Roger apparently wasn't too keen on that feature :-)

Hi Jan-Piet,

Can you say why you'd want to see this? I can imagine it being
interesting but only if we could inject a new/changed bridge
configuration via similar means. AFAICT, what you're asking for is
actually the `lazy' bridge which sort of comes up and goes away if
there's no traffic (though I haven't experimented with those).
First: yes, the new/changed bridged configuration would be my next
question :-), but a static configuration would also help.
For the static configuration: assume a broker runs in a local network with
one subscription to a broker on a remote (cloud) server. At some moment
the cloud broker wants to "tap" channels of the local broker (e.g. for
support reasons or because the remote site is a company HQ etc.).
The remote site cannot contact the local site (firewall, no VPN), so
a remote client cannot publish/subscribe directly to the local broker.
The remote site can "contact" the local site by publishing a message
to the subscribed channel and in this way request to start the bridge.
