defaults.ini Explained

The installation process generates a defaults.ini file in /etc/autosol/defaults.ini which contains a set of values that define the properties of the server.

This file contains a set of values that define the properties of the server.

When installing, the prompts allow you to enter a default broker IP:Port, username/password and if you want to set enable TLS.

TLS will use the default server.crt the unit ships with, which allows for most simple unverified TLS connections.

Would you like to set default values for this Edge Node? (y/n) y
Edge Node name [Unnamed Node]: MyNode
Configure Broker settings? [n] (y/n): y
Broker IP [localhost]: 127.0.0.1                               
Broker Port [1883]: 8883
Username []: brokerusername
Password []: brokerpassword
Enable TLS? [False] (y/n): y

File type properties (cafile, certfile, keyfile) expect a valid file path to a file located in the unit upon usage of the defaults.ini

The defaults.ini has three default sections:

CONTROL
- apply: If set to True, the server will use the default values upon a server restart.
SERVER
- name: Name of the Node
- compress:
- https:
- wildcardname: If set to True, a random 4 digit number will be appended to the name.
BROKER1
- These properties are related to broker connections. See MQTT TLS for full details.
