Documentation

• Astarte Documentation

Requirements

• protobuf >= 3.15
• Rust version >= 1.72.0

Configuration

The Astarte Message Hub is configured through message-hub-config.toml in the current working directory, otherwise the system wide /etc/message-hub/config.toml can be used. In alternative, you can specify the path to the configuration file with the -t/--toml cli option.

The format for the configuration file is the following:

##
# Required fields
#
realm = "<REALM>"
pairing_url = "<PAIRING_URL>"
grpc_socket_port = 0 # Required, 0 is only a placeholder

##
# Optional fields
#
interfaces_directory = "[INTERFACES_DIRECTORY]"
# Device id, if not provided it will be retrieved from `io.edgehog.Device` dbus-service
device_id = "[DEVICE_ID]"
# Used to register a device and obtain a `credentials_secret`
pairing_token = "[PAIRING_TOKEN]"
# Credential secret, if not provided the `pairing_token` is required
credentials_secret = "[CREDENTIALS_SECRET]"
# Path to store persistent data, defaults to "./"
store_directory = "<STORE_PATH>"

[astarte]
# Ignore SSL errors, defaults to false
ignore_ssl = false

An example configuration file can be found in the examples direction.
