  1. Deploy the Message Broker Mosquitto

Mosquitto can be deployed on the server machine where manta_manager will be executed or on a remote machine accessible to both the server and embedded devices.

$ mosquitto
[23218.338893]~DLT~76113~INFO     ~FIFO /tmp/dlt cannot be opened. Retrying later...
1726235842: mosquitto version 1.6.9 starting
1726235842: Using default config.
1726235842: Opening ipv4 listen socket on port 1883.
1726235842: Opening ipv6 listen socket on port 1883.

  1. Deploy Manta Manager

Once Mosquitto is deployed, you can start manta_manager on the server machine.

$ manta_manager -vv --debug
[09/13/24 15:57:24] INFO     2024-09-13 15:57:24,481 - manta_manager.database - INFO - Connected to MongoDB at localhost:27017 (database.py:710)                                                                                                                             database.py:710
                    INFO     2024-09-13 15:57:24,493 - manta_manager.mqtt_client - INFO - Connected to MQTT broker: localhost:1883 (mqtt_client.py:149)                                                                                                                   mqtt_client.py:149

Note

See the Manager CLI for more information on flags.

  1. Deploy Manta Node

After initializing manta_manager, you can start manta_node on embedded devices.

$ manta_node -vv --debug
[09/13/24 15:57:30] INFO     2024-09-13 15:57:30,613 - manta_node.task_runner - INFO - Connected to docker daemon ! (task_runner.py:29)                                                                                                                                    task_runner.py:29
                    INFO     2024-09-13 15:57:30,635 - manta_node.mqtt_client - INFO - Subscribing to topics: <...>

Note

By default, the node_id is generated from the machine’s MAC address; however, the MAC address value is not stored on the server. To specify an alias, use the flag --alias <your_alias>. To generate and use a random ID, use the flag --random_id.

Note

See the Node CLI for more information on flags.
