Running HiveMQ on Docker

Download and run HiveMQ

Running the HiveMQ trial with Docker is the simplest way to experiment with HiveMQ and MQTT. The following command downloads and starts a single HiveMQ trial node.

docker run -p 8080:8080 -p 1883:1883 hivemq/hivemq4
HiveMQ MQTT Broker Control Center

Try it out

Navigate with your browser to http://localhost:8080 and open the HiveMQ Control Center. If the HiveMQ Control Center is available, HiveMQ is up and running.

You can login with the default credentials:
User: admin
Password: hivemq

Any MQTT client can now be connected to HiveMQ on port 1883.
