Docker image for mosquitto - superseded by eclipse-mosquitto
The puprose of this Container was to provide a configurable and decent mosquitto broker container. The Eclipse Mosquitto Project now provides a very similar Container - See Other Containers below. This container still uses Debian/Jessie as a base container which is kinda old.
Feel free to send Pull Requests. As I don't use this container any longer it's kinda tricky to test and keep compatibility at a level I would like.
docker run -ti -p 1883:1883 -p 9001:9001 toke/mosquitto
Exposes Port 1883 (MQTT) 9001 (Websocket MQTT)
Alternatively you can use volumes to make the changes persistent and change the configuration.
mkdir -p /srv/mqtt/config/
mkdir -p /srv/mqtt/data/
mkdir -p /srv/mqtt/log/
# place your mosquitto.conf in /srv/mqtt/config/
# NOTE: You have to change the permissions of the directories
# to allow the user to read/write to data and log and read from
# config directory
# For TESTING purposes you can use chmod -R 777 /srv/mqtt/*
# Better use "-u" with a valid user id on your docker host
# Copy the files from the config directory of this project
# into /src/mqtt/config. Change them as needed for your
# particular needs.
docker run -ti -p 1883:1883 -p 9001:9001 \
-v /srv/mqtt/config:/mqtt/config:ro \
-v /srv/mqtt/log:/mqtt/log \
-v /srv/mqtt/data/:/mqtt/data/ \
--name mqtt toke/mosquitto
Volumes: /mqtt/config, /mqtt/data and /mqtt/log
Using Docker Volumes for persistence.
Create a named volume:
docker volume create --name mosquitto_data
Now it can be attached to docker by using -v mosquitto_data:/mqtt/data in the
Example above. Be aware that the permissions within the volumes
are most likely too restrictive.
As an example this how you run the container with systemd.
The example uses a docker volume named mosquitto_data (see above).
