All commands hang indefinitely

Hi, @koalazak!

My rest980 http endpoints are not working at all after the server successfully gets started.

> systemctl status rest980
systemctl status rest980

config/default.json and config/production.json (they have same content):

}

> nc -v 0.0.0.0 15955
(UNKNOWN) [0.0.0.0] 15955 (?) open

After I try requesting curl 'http://<my-server-ip>:15955/api/local/info/state' -vvv from my laptop to my server running rest980 all I get is this in journalctl logs:

Aug 02 13:59:02 home npm[1200937]: GET /api/local/info/state - - ms - -

I then tried running your example dorita980 script using Node.js v20 and got nothing. It just hangs indefinitely. The roomba get password app works nicely (it uses http towards my roomba directly), so I suppose it's something with mqtt comms going on?

My setup:

Roomba 981
Firmware: 2.4.17-138 (24 Dec 2023)
rest980 Node.js v20.19.4

The official app is fully working and roomba is functioning well. I have uninstalled it after checking.

May the issue be of security nature? If I try this (with --insecure and without) from my server, it fails:

mosquitto_sub -h x.x.x.x -p 8883 -u foo -P 'bar' --insecure -t '#'
Error: A TLS error occurred.

Any ideas what the issue might be? Maybe any steps on how to debug this via mqtt? Thanks in advance!
