How to change the MQTT ClientId of a Repetier-Server

mbartholet

Hi there,

is there currently a way to change the MQTT clientId of a Repetier Server to be something different than its Server UUID?

Best regards

No, this is hardcoded so multiple servers can use same MQTT server in a collision free way.

Thanks for the quick reply.

I understand why you choose to hardcode it in the first place, but are there plans to make this an option via configuration in the future? Maybe with a warning hint that the customizing of the clientId is discouraged?

In the end, as someone who has control over this, its my fault If I use the same clientId twice and cause troubles with my MQTT setup.

Best regards

No plans to change this. Actually any id is good as long as user knows it and why make it complicated by forcing users to select one more key.

Understandable - thanks.

Modify the MQTT settings in the Repetier-Server configuration file to modify the MQTT ClientId of a Repetier-Server. Go to Push Service under Config > Preferences. Change the ClientId field to the value you want, making sure it is distinct to prevent conflicts.
