Two things I might add to Pat's great tutorial:
1. Mosquitto not only hates extra spaces at the end of lines in config
files, it also hates not having a newline at the end of each config file.
Also, if Mosquitto exits due to a config file format issue, it doesn’t
respond to a systemctl start command properly. I think that when it
tries to restart, it sees that there is a PID file in existence and just
exits. Even restarting the server (ugh) didn’t help me. What I found to get
by that is to issue a systemctl stop command first. I think that clears
the PID file. Then I issue the systemctl start command.
2. I set up an Nginx webserver on my external website (which is running
Ubuntu) to serve the pages. I used Let’s Encrypt to set up my certs (used
for both Mosquitto and Nginx web pages). Rather than use the certbot
certonly command as suggested by Pat, I used the Nginx plug-in for
Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:certbot/certbot
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-certbot-nginx
sudo certbot --nginx
This really automates the cert installs. It edits the Nginx
config files, sets up the cron job for renewing the certs and even
automates redirecting http://URL’s to https:// ones if you want it to. Very
cool.
