efrecon / docker-mosquitto

Easily configurable eclipse MQTT broker

Dear Reader 📖

I am slowly migrating all my docker-related work to an organisation, whalimeter

• 🗞 I seldom update my blog
• 🛠 I often create or update private OSS projects here, at bitbucket and gitlab
• 💰 I sometimes create or update corporate OSS projects, formerly at Yanzi, HealthIntegrator and Mitigram, now at GpsGate
• 💖 I have a special love for the misunderstood Tcl
• 🐚 Lately I have focused on POSIX shell to better target the embedded and devops spaces
• 🐳 I have a gist that, from a running container, prints out the command-line docker command to create it.
• 🐋 I have a script to rebase a slim Docker image on top of another one without changing its original configuration.
• 🏢 I am always open for opportunities in the beautiful Stockholm, or remote. But I am enjoying my time at GpsGate.

docker-mosquitto's Issues

Updates?

This is a great idea and a sound implementation but it's not been updated since May. Is it still maintained?

config backup file issue

Hi,
Thanks for this customisable docker image.

So everything works fine for the first time container creation and run (using the mentioned docker-compose file). However, starting the container results in the following error:

mosquitto_1 | Keeping backup at /mosquitto/config/mosquitto.conf.bak

mosquitto_1 | error renaming "/mosquitto/config/mosquitto.conf" to "/mosquitto/config/mosquitto.conf.bak": file already exists

Furthermore, any examples for the security property with the TLS certificate can be quite helpful. Cheers

Docker Hub Latest image doesn't point at 2.15

Hey,

Thanks for making Mosquitto work with environment variables. Much less pain.

I notice that efrecon/mosquitto:latest on dockerhub is pointing at version 1.6.8 which is quite old.

I can see there is a tag for 2.15 however it seems to be broken. It complains it can't write a PID file and there are a bunch of missing sections of config.

Break down main configuration file

The syntax of the configuration file contains implicit sections that are marked by leading comments similar to the following one (for bridges).

# =================================================================
# Bridges
# =================================================================

Given that the default listener and other extra listeners share most options, the current implementation will end up changing options at the wrong place, resulting in errors.

A way to alleviate this would be to recognise variables which names is MOSQUITTO__BRIDGES__xxx (note the double underscore) as pointing into a file called bridges.conf in the same directory, a directory that needs to be included in the main file.

arm64 containers?

Are there any plans to build arm64 containers as well as the current amd64?
