Set up a [mosquitto](https://mosquitto.org/) MQTT broker.

```json
{
  "plain": true,
  "ssl": false,
  "anonymous": true,
  "logins": [
    {"username": "testuser", "password": "mypw"}
  ]
}
```

Configuration variables:

- **plain** (*Optional*): Listen to broker on port 1883 without SSL/TLS. Defaults to `true`.
- **ssl** (*Optional*): Listen to broker on port 8883 with SSL/TLS. This requires certificates. Defaults to `false`.
- **anonymous** (*Optional*): Allow anonymous connection. If *logins* is set, anonymous user can only read data. Defaults to `true`.
- **logins** (*Optional*): A list of user that will be created with *username* and *password*.
