# MQTT scripts
0b0750
0b0750
The mqtt.git.centos.org server requires authentication.  As a result we've provided some client server scripts that will let you protect your keys.
0b0750
0b0750
These can also be used as a basis for building your own MQTT automation scripts.
0b0750
0b0750
## Scripts:
0b0750
0b0750
* send-mqtt-to-dbus.py - Connects the MQTT messages to a dbus interface.
0b0750
    To fully protect your keys you can setup the system bus (a config is provided by --dbus-config)
0b0750
    Then you can have this run as a dedicated user that has access to your keys.
0b0750
    See the `on_mqtt_connect` and `on_mqtt_message` functions for customizing the behavior.
0b0750
0b0750
* listen-on-dbus-for-mqtt-signals.py - Listens to messages sent to dbus and performs an action.
0b0750
    You can set this to run a generic command or customize it to fit your needs.
0b0750
    See the `signal_recieved` function for customizing the behavior.
0b0750
0b0750
* example-safe-command.py - It is an example of how to run a command from listen-on-dbus-for-mqtt-signals.py
0b0750
0b0750
* send-mqtt-to-irc.py - An untested IRC bot that will (in theory) chat out the messages.
0b0750
0b0750
## Systemd Unit:
0b0750
0b0750
Some sample systemd unit files are provided to work with the example scripts.
0b0750
0b0750
NOTE: They require customization before use.
0b0750
      You must at minimum set the User= to a trusted user.
0b0750
0b0750
* listen-on-dbus-for-mqtt-signals.service
0b0750
    You should adjust the path of commands and select a safe command to execute.
0b0750
0b0750
* send-mqtt-to-dbus.service
0b0750
    You should setup the system dbus profile with --dbus-config
0b0750
0b0750
## Container notes:
0b0750
0b0750
It is _not_ considered safe to share the host dbus (system or session) with a container.  This can permit the container to escape into the host and violate the security of your system.
0b0750
0b0750
For example, here is how you can reboot a host from dbus if you've got rights.
0b0750
```
0b0750
DBUS_SYSTEM_BUS_ADDRESS=unix:path=/run/dbus/system_bus_socket \
0b0750
  dbus-send --system --print-reply    \
0b0750
  --dest=org.freedesktop.systemd1     \
0b0750
  /org/freedesktop/systemd1           \
0b0750
  org.freedesktop.systemd1.Manager.Reboot
0b0750
```
