    Can CloudLinux OS React to IoT HTTP/MQTT Posts from ESP32 for Logging or Automation?

    Hi everyone! I’m working on a small IoT setup where an ESP32 board reads motion via a PIR sensor and sends that data via HTTP POST or MQTT to a server. I found this tutorial very helpful: [Possible spam]
    Inspired by it, I envision a scenario where motion detection triggers an HTTP/MQTT message to a server like a Linux VM running CloudLinux OS which could log the event, run custom scripts, or even block suspicious IPs.
    My question: can CloudLinux be configured to receive such incoming HTTP or MQTT notifications and act on them like logging events to syslog, triggering scripts, or modifying firewall behavior? Are there recommended packages, tools, or simple approaches that make this kind of integration smooth and maintainable?

    Quick answer is Yes.
    It's just the same as on other Linux Operation Systems.
