This is a simple Mosquitto broker to quickly initialize projects requiring an MQTT broker.
- Docker
- Docker compose +v1.27.0 (better to have v2)
To start the container, just :
UID=$UID GID=$GID docker-compose up -d
The Mosquitto broker is now available on localhost. You can test it easily (require Mosquitto client):
| In one shell:
mosquitto_sub -h localhost -t "sensor/temperature"
| In a second shell:
mosquitto_pub -h localhost -t sensor/temperature -m 23
The config file is in the file mosquito.conf
By default we activated the log and data persistance (logs are in the log
folder, and data are stored in a docker volume).
In the config file, set the value allow_anonymous
to false
, then uncomment the last line (password_file
) and finaly restart the container.
The default user is
admin/password
.
docker-compose exec mosquitto mosquitto_passwd -b /mosquitto/config/password.txt user password
docker-compose restart
docker-compose exec mosquitto mosquitto_passwd -D /mosquitto/config/password.txt user
docker-compose restart
