Idea: Launch MQTT broker from Node-RED-Desktop as ngrok

[rei-vilo]

The same way ngrok is included in Node-RED-Desktop, include a MQTT broker, e.g, mosquitto.

Eclipse Mosquitto™ An open source MQTT broker at https://mosquitto.org

More generally, the idea would consist on launching and optionally on including services that are commonly used with Node-RED.

Hi,

In my understanding,
Node-RED basic MQTT nodes can connect directly to the MQTT broker ( ex. test.mosquitto.org ).
So there is no need additional software to use it.

P.S.
I found the MQTT broker node node-red-contrib-mqtt-broker .

The idea is to launch the MQTT server from within Node-RED-Desktop the same way ngrok is currently managed.

this is a great idea because i can not access mqtt server from ngrok port 1880 inside node-red because mqtt is outside the node red on port 1883.
