Containers built with this Dockerfile build as source from published tarballs.

Three docker volumes have been created in the image to be used for configuration, persistent storage and logs.

/mosquitto/config
/mosquitto/data
/mosquitto/log

When creating a container from the image, the default configuration values are used. To use a custom configuration file, mount a local configuration file to /mosquitto/config/mosquitto.conf

docker run -it -p 1883:1883 -p 9001:9001 -v <absolute-path-to-configuration-file>:/mosquitto/config/mosquitto.conf eclipse-mosquitto:<version>

Configuration can be changed to:

• persist data to /mosquitto/data
• log to /mosquitto/log/mosquitto.log

i.e. add the following to mosquitto.conf:

persistence true
persistence_location /mosquitto/data/

log_dest file /mosquitto/log/mosquitto.log

Note: For any volume used, the data will be persistent between containers.

Build and tag the docker image for a specific version:

docker build -t eclipse-mosquitto:<version> --build-arg VERSION="<version>" .

Run a container using the new image:

docker run -it -p 1883:1883 -p 9001:9001 -v <path-to-configuration-file>:/mosquitto/config/mosquitto.conf -v /mosquitto/data -v /mosquitto/log eclipse-mosquitto:<version>

💥 if the mosquitto configuration (mosquitto.conf) was modified to use non-default ports, the docker run command will need to be updated to expose the ports that have been configured.
