P Pitag Member Licensed User Longtime User Feb 15, 2023 #1 Hi to all, i was wondering which is the best way to exchange data between apps. My scenario is: - a B4J application that runs on my home system (not on a remote server like a VPS) - a B4A app that send some data to the b4j app (maybe settings or, anyway, a small amount of text data) which is the smartest way for the two to communicate in your opinion? In a local network i find mqtt very useful for example, but over the internet? Consider that i do not want to expose my system on the Internet (no port forwarding).

You have either HTTP with Jserver or MQTT with JMqtt broker and Client Pitag said: n a local network i find mqtt very useful for example, but over the internet? Click to expand... If it isnt much information, mqtt is good even over the internet Pitag said: Consider that i do not want to expose my system on the Internet (no port forwarding).

(i remember CloudMqtt but as far as i know, has only payed plans) Firebase services can be a solution? I remember that worked well on Android, but on B4J? I know Tailscale and appreciate it, but i would prefer not to use it. I cannot leave it active on my phone, meaning that if i need to use the app, i have to remember to activate Tailscale first.
