How are you starting it?

#

docker compose -f /opt/docker-compose.yml up -d

snow pilot Apr 23, 2024, 3:50 PM

#

Check with docker logs -t mqtt5.

buoyant iron Apr 23, 2024, 3:50 PM

#

or something like that it is an alias so i forget the exact command

snow pilot Apr 23, 2024, 3:50 PM

#

You can check with alias.

buoyant iron Apr 23, 2024, 3:51 PM

#

alias dcp='docker compose -f /opt/docker-compose.yml '

#

then dcp up -d

snow pilot Apr 23, 2024, 3:51 PM

#

Yeah that's fine.

#

becuase the lack of logs is unbelible

snow pilot Apr 23, 2024, 3:52 PM

#

Try docker compose -f /opt/docker-compose.yml up mqtt5.

buoyant iron Apr 23, 2024, 3:53 PM

#

hanging on Attaching to mqtt5

snow pilot Apr 23, 2024, 3:55 PM

#

Hmm. Try docker compose -f /opt/docker-compose.yml down mqtt5, then try again.

buoyant iron Apr 23, 2024, 3:56 PM

#

already did

#

well clt c, stopped mqtt5, did a docker ps to double check it wasn't running

#

then ran the command again and it hung

snow pilot Apr 23, 2024, 3:57 PM

#

I replicated your setup and it works fine here with your config.

buoyant iron Apr 23, 2024, 3:57 PM

#

oh didn't have the -d that is what it was "hanging"

#

but still no logs

snow pilot Apr 23, 2024, 3:57 PM

#

The -d just puts it in the background. We don't want this right now.

buoyant iron Apr 23, 2024, 3:57 PM

#

i know

#

but it wasn't returning the prompt which is why i was thinking it was hanging on startup

#

explained by running it in the background

#

ok, lets start this from scratch

#

i am going to delete teh folders and try from that

snow pilot Apr 23, 2024, 3:59 PM

#

Just for reference

#

when you recreated it did you create anything?

#

when i did that all it did was get to "attaching to mqtt5"

snow pilot Apr 23, 2024, 4:01 PM

#

did you create anything?
Like what? I only created the mosquitto.conf.

buoyant iron Apr 23, 2024, 4:02 PM

#

i meant directory struture

snow pilot Apr 23, 2024, 4:02 PM

#

Maybe try pulling the latest image if not already: docker compose -f /opt/docker-compose.yml pull mqtt5
But strange because it worked a minute ago.

#

No I let it create everything. It creates a mosquitto.conf/ directory that way so I deleted this and created a file with your config values instead.

#

# namei /opt/appdata/mosquitto/*
f: /opt/appdata/mosquitto/data

buoyant iron Apr 23, 2024, 4:05 PM

#

now that is intresting becuse it dosn't want to create it for me

snow pilot Apr 23, 2024, 4:06 PM

#

But it worked before you edited the path? Very weird.

buoyant iron Apr 23, 2024, 4:07 PM

#

yes

#

so i went back to the preedited path

#

/opt/appdata/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf:/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf

snow pilot Apr 23, 2024, 4:07 PM

#

And that works?

buoyant iron Apr 23, 2024, 4:07 PM

#

and it creates it as a directory drwxr-xr-x 2 1883 1883 4096 Apr 23 12:06 mosquitto.conf

#

so it works as in the container comes up

#

but there is no configs for it (just realized this part)

snow pilot Apr 23, 2024, 4:08 PM

#

Can you share your compete mosquitto config?

buoyant iron Apr 23, 2024, 4:08 PM

#

which explains my inital problem/question

#

right now there is none

snow pilot Apr 23, 2024, 4:08 PM

#

Please also always share the command prompt like I did when you show command outputs.

Stop the container and run

rmdir /opt/appdata/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf
echo "listener 1883 0.0.0.0" > /opt/appdata/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf

Then try again.

#

You might want to chown -R ... the /opt/appdata/mosquitto directory.

buoyant iron Apr 23, 2024, 4:12 PM

#

sanfordg@mab:~$ sudo echo "listener 1883 0.0.0.0" > /opt/appdata/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf

#

wont' let me just echo to it

snow pilot Apr 23, 2024, 4:13 PM

#

Run mkdir -p /opt/appdata/mosquitto/ first.

buoyant iron Apr 23, 2024, 4:14 PM

#

well that is intresting

sanfordg@mab:~$ sudo echo "listener 1883 0.0.0.0" > /opt/appdata/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf
-bash: /opt/appdata/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf: Permission denied

#

never got that from sudo

snow pilot Apr 23, 2024, 4:14 PM

#

Probably because of the redirect. It pobably does the part before the > as root and the rest as your user.

#

Try sudo -i and work as root for now.

buoyant iron Apr 23, 2024, 4:15 PM

#

well that seemed to have worked

of course, the real question is why

#

don't get me wrong glad it is working but what is different

snow pilot Apr 23, 2024, 4:16 PM

#

You can know this better than I do. You know your environment best.

buoyant iron Apr 23, 2024, 4:17 PM

#

it is like the container didn't like the file being created by VI or through SMB

snow pilot Apr 23, 2024, 4:18 PM

#

Remove the file and try to create it again. My guess is it was a directory like in my case or something like that.

# rm mosquitto.conf
# docker compose -f /opt/docker-compose.yml up mqtt5

buoyant iron Apr 23, 2024, 4:20 PM

#

should i put the other stuff back in there?

persistence true
persistence_location /mosquitto/data/
log_dest file /mosquitto/log/mosquitto.log

#

and great news HA is now connected to it

snow pilot Apr 23, 2024, 4:20 PM

#

If you want.

buoyant iron Apr 23, 2024, 4:20 PM

#

what persistance is there with MQTT? i though the hole point was send it and forget it

snow pilot Apr 23, 2024, 4:21 PM

#

Retained messages are a thing.

#

Hmm. It might have been log_dest. Maybe it stops logging to console then.

#

I already teared down my test VM and I don't want to replicate it again so you have to test that yourself.

buoyant iron Apr 23, 2024, 4:21 PM

#

thats fine, thank you for your help

snow pilot Apr 23, 2024, 4:22 PM

#

I'm not sure if that syntax is valid but you can try

log_dest file /mosquitto/log/mosquitto.log stdout
