A simple .Net Core Windows/systemd service that subscribes to MQTT brokers and writes the messages into a local SQLite database.
The service will look for a config.json file in the same directory with the executable. A sample of the configuration file:
[
{
"host": "192.168.0.101",
"port": 1883,
"user": "user1",
"password": "password1",
"topic": "some/topic/1",
"table": "table1"
},
{
"host": "192.168.0.102",
"port": 1883,
"user": "user2",
"password": "password2",
"topic": "some/topic/2",
"table": "table2"
}
]Where table is the name of the table to create and write to in the SQLite database. The database will also be placed in the same directory with the name database.sqlite.
Make sure that .Net Core 3.1 or higher is installed. Example for Ubuntu 20.04:
wget https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/20.04/packages-microsoft-prod.deb -O packages-microsoft-prod.deb
sudo dpkg -i packages-microsoft-prod.deb
sudo rm packages-microsoft-prod.deb
sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y dotnet-runtime-3.1=3.1.21-1This project uses Topshelf to manage the Windows service. The Linux systemd installation will be the same as with Topshelf.
To install the service, open an elevated shell window and navigate to the directory with the executable, for example:
cd "C:\Program Files\MqttSql for Windows and cd ~/MqttSql for Linux.
And run the executable with install and start arguments, for example:
.\MqttSql.exe install start for Windows and sudo ./MqttSql install --user user1 start for Linux, where -u or --user arguments can be used to set the user the service should run with (default root).
To unregister and uninstall the service, run the executable with the uninstall argument, for example:
.\MqttSql.exe uninstall for Windows and sudo ./MqttSql uninstall for Linux.
Alternatively on Windows, you can use the Extractor tool included in the project, which will put all the necesary files into the target directory, install the .Net Core runtime if necesary and install the service.
