Its default port 1883 is above 1024, so Android allows it.
mosquitto in Breadstick
Breadstick runs Debian's own mosquitto package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so mosquitto should behave as it does on a Linux PC. It is a command line program rather than an app with a window of its own: you run it by typing its command in Breadstick's Terminal, or in any terminal window on the Linux desktop, and it needs no Desktop or Floating session running.
Commands in the package
mosquittomosquitto_ctrlmosquitto_passwd
There is no systemd in Breadstick, so a server does not start on its own: you start it by hand from the Terminal. Android does not give apps the network ports below 1024, so a web or file server listens on a higher port, and other devices on your network can reach it at the device's address when it listens on all addresses and Breadstick is running. More in the docs: What Breadstick cannot do: the system itself.
About mosquitto
From Debian's package description
This is a message broker that supports version 3.1 and 3.1.1 of the MQTT protocol.
MQTT provides a method of carrying out messaging using a publish/subscribe model. It is lightweight, both in terms of bandwidth usage and ease of implementation. This makes it particularly useful at the edge of the network where a sensor or other simple device may be implemented using an arduino for example.
