Mosquitto is an open-source message broker that uses the MQTT protocol to communicate with IoT devices. OwnTracks is an open-source GPS logging service that sends location data from mobile apps and recommends using Mosquitto as the receiving broker. The document outlines the process taken to set up a Mosquitto server on a DigitalOcean droplet to receive location data from OwnTracks.

Mosquitto is an open-source message broker service that uses the MQTT
protocol to send and receive messages, typically with IOT (Internet of
Things) devices. OwnTracks is an open-source GPS location history logging service (the main components are apps for iPhone and Android.) OwnTracks takes care of sending the data, and recommends using Mosquitto as the framework on the receiving or "broker" side. This is the process I went through to get a Mosquitto server up and receiving data on a DigitalOcean droplet, I customized the server for OwnTracks but most steps except config should apply for any use of Mosquitto server.
