Mosquitto installing Message Queuing on _ubuntu/debian Mosquitto

MQTT is an Instant Messaging protocol developed by IBM. MQTT is a connectivity protocol for both the machine and the internet of Things, with lightweight publishing and subscription messaging. Mosquitto is an open source messaging agent software that implements the MQTT v3.1 protocol, providing a lightweight, publish/Subscribe messaging push mode that makes device-to-device short message communication easy to use.
If you first contact the MQTT protocol, you can first understand the following concepts:
"MQTT protocol Features"-the MQTT protocol allows for better remote control than the restful architecture of the IoT system, thanks to the messaging push feature.
The MQTT protocol role-The IoT system in the RESTful architecture, contains two role clients and server-side, while the MQTT protocol includes publishers, agents (servers), and Subscribers.
The messages in the MQTT protocol message--MQTT can be understood as the content (payload) exchanged by the Publisher and Subscribers, which contain specific content that can be used by subscribers.
Topics in the MQTT protocol topics--MQTT can be understood as message collections of the same type or similar type

The port is monitored by default:

1883:MQTT, no encryption
8883:MQTT, encryption
8884:MQTT, encryption, customer service side need to verify
8080:mqtt via WebSockets, no encryption
