For Linux and macOS users, you can deploy TBMQ as a single-node Docker setup using the installation script below.
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thingsboard/tbmq/release-2.2.0/msa/tbmq/configs/tbmq-install-and-run.sh &&
sudo chmod +x tbmq-install-and-run.sh &&
./tbmq-install-and-run.shOnce the installation is complete, open your browser and access TBMQ at your host address on the default port 8083. For example:
http://localhost:8083

Check out our Getting Started guide to learn the basics of TBMQ. In minutes, you will learn to:
- Connect MQTT clients to TBMQ.
- Configure authentication and authorization.
- Subscribe to topics.
- Publish messages.
Utilize diverse communication patterns effectively, ensuring comprehensive coverage of your use cases. TBMQ places particular emphasis on mastering fan-in, fan-out, and point-to-point (p2p) messaging.
Numerous devices generate a large volume of messages that are consumed by specific applications. Normally, a few applications are set up to handle these lots of incoming data. It must be ensured that they do not miss any single message.
Numerous devices subscribing to specific updates or notifications that must be delivered. This leads to a few incoming requests that cause a high volume of outgoing data.
Messages are routed between a single publisher and a specific subscriber through uniquely defined topics. Pattern that is primarily used for one-to-one communication. Ideal for private messaging or command-based interactions.
Acknowledging these scenarios, we intentionally designed TBMQ to be exceptionally well-suited for all three.
|
Scale horizontally to manage more than 100M MQTT connections on a single cluster. |
Process millions of messages per second with 1 TBMQ server and single-digit latency. |
|
Guarantee the persistence and replication of your data to ensure it's never lost. |
Prevent single point of failure with masterless nodes in the cluster. |
Gain full visibility over your IoT ecosystem with the user-friendly session management dashboard, enabling you to monitor vital session attributes. Seamlessly administer your device subscriptions for efficient data communication.
Efficiently manage subscriptions with a powerful and intuitive interface, ensuring optimal client communication and data flow across your IoT network.
Strengthen your IoT security using the MQTT client credentials management system, crafted to handle authenticaion methods as Basic, JWT, X.509 Certificate Chain and SCRAM.
Manage fine-grained access with per-client ACL rules, and easily monitor or control connectivity using built-in tools for handling Blocked clients and Unauthorized clients.
Keep a pulse on your IoT environment by tracking key metrics in real-time, ensuring your network's health and performance are always at their peak.
Enable smooth data transmission between IoT devices, the broker, and external platforms with a reliable and scalable solution — all without impacting core broker performance.
Interact with your IoT devices in real-time through the WebSocket client, offering a streamlined and responsive interface for device messaging and monitoring.
