I have 3 virtual machines VM1, VM2 and VM3. VM1 and VM2 are in the same network. My Mosquitto Broker is running in a docker Container on VM2. The docker container is connected to the Host network (so it has the same IP as the VM2). the configuration file of the broker is:
port 1883
pid_file /var/run/mosquitto.pid
persistence true
persistence_location /var/lib/mosquitto/
log_dest file /var/log/mosquitto/mosquitto.log
allow_anonymous true
I can access the broker on VM2 from a container on VM1 (VM1 and VM2 are in the same network). Also I can ping VM2 from VM3 (VM3 and VM2 not the on same network) but I cannot access the broker on VM2 from VM3 or via mqtt-explorer.
any hint?! where could the error be? where should I search?
Thanks in advance :)
port 1883 will not change the default listener which is bound to localhost only for security reasons.
You should remove port 1883 and replace it with listener 1883

I’m new in this field and I’m trying to create a device using arduino WiFi Rev 2 and the broker mqtt Mosquitto on an external network.
I’ve already installed Mosquitto on my PC and started it by the prompt. I changed the configuration file of Mosquitto in order to allow the listener on port 1883 and then run on prompt the command mosquitto -c mosquitto.conf -v and it worked.
But when I run netstat-a on the prompt, the port 1883 doesn’t appear on the address of the external network. What can I do to fix it ?
There’s the conf file I added
per_listener_settings true
listener 1883
protocol mqtt
allow_anonymous true
listener 8083
protocol websockets
allow_anonymous true
Thanks for the your attention, hope to find a solution!
With the configuration you have provided, mosquitto will bind to ALL addresses, this will be signified by it binding to 0.0.0.0:1883 (and 0.0.0.0:8083)
So there is nothing to fix. Assuming no firewall/NAT between the Arduino and the machine running the broker it should just connect.
I want to use docker eclipse-mosquitto just for communication on a local machine. Which settings do I need for mosquitto.conf to make the mosquitto broker only visible on localhost but not from outside? Since a second mosquitto is running, port 1883 is blocked and I'm using port 1884.
This is what I have:
port 1884
bind_address 127.0.0.1
is visible from outside.
port 1884
bind_address localhost
gives error Error: Address not available.
Binding to docker-ip
port 1884
bind_address 172.17.0.1
gives error Error: Address not available.
What can I do?
Your answer is the wrong approach, you should only really be using --network="host" for things that need to open raw sockets or receive broadcast messages from the local network.
The correct answer is to not use the bind_address option in the mosquitto.conf file and use the docker -p option to do the port mapping correctly (docs).
e.g.
docker run exec -rm -p 127.0.0.1:1884:1884/tcp mosquitto
Here the -p 127.0.0.1:1884:1884 maps port 1884 in the container to port 1884 bound to the loopback ip (127.0.0.1) on the host.
Ok, solved it myself:
Running docker with additional option --network="host" and than in mosquitto.conf:
port 1884
bind_address 127.0.0.1
does the job.
I'm working in mqtt broker bridge, I have to connect local mosquitto to remote mosquitto.
connection remote-mosquitto-bridge
address 10.1.0.9:1883
topic test both 1
Above code is added in mosquitto.conf file for connect remote machine(10.1.0.9 is my remote)
its enough for message sharing to local to remote
You need config the listener port
ex:
if your diagram is like that
broker 1 => broker 2
Broker 1 mosquitto.config:
connection remote-mosquitto-bridge
address 10.1.0.9:1883
topic # both 0
Broker 2 mosquitto.config:
port 1883
listener 8883
This work for me.

1) How to determine the Mosquitto bridge connection name.
The snippet written below is from the EMQx documentation (http://emqtt.io/docs/v2/bridge.html#mosquitto-conf)
connection emqttd
address 127.0.0.1:2883
topic sensor/# out 2
the connection name - emqttd is written on what basis?
2) I have a tcp connection open from EMQX on the host 172.22.25.53 and port 2883.
When i try connecting from the same system. It works absolutely fine. But from a different system, I get this error
C:\Program Files\mosquitto>mosquitto.exe -c mosquitto.conf -v

My mosquitto.conf file is:
connection emqx
address 172.22.25.53:2883
cleansession false
topic AB/# both 2
The connection name is the value after connection in the configuration file. As described in the bridge section of the mosquitto.conf man page
e.g.
connection foo
Will result in a connection name of foo.
172.22.25.53 is in the reserved range 172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255, I'm going to guess you are running emq in a docker container and you are trying to access the container using it's Docker internal IP address. You will need to expose the port on your host machine to be able to access it from a remote machine.
I'm struggling with exposing Mosquitto that I setup on my Centos7 homeserver to the outside internet through my router.
Mosquitto runs fine on my localhost and post 1883 on the homeserver. I am able to pub/sub, and it is listening on the port as 127.0.0.1:1883 (tcp)
My home router has a dynamic IP (for now), say 76.43.150.206. On the router I port forwarded 1883 as both internal/external ports to my home server, say 192.168.1.100.
In the mosquitto.conf file, I have one simply line "listener 1883 76.43.150.206".
When I then attempt to pub/sub using a python client on an external computer as mqttc.connect("76.43.150.206", 1883), it says connection refused.
Any hints on what I'm doing wrong or how to get it working? BTW, my understanding of this setup is very basic and I've pretty much been going off blogs.
Here's how it will work:
1.) Setup mosquitto.conf as
listener 1883 0.0.0.0
#cafile <path to ca file>
#certfile <path to server cert>
#keyfile <path to server key>
#require_certificate false
0.0.0.0 binds the server to all interfaces present.
You can uncomment the code to enable TLS for better security. But you'll have to configure the client to use the same as well..
2.) Port forward router's 1883 port number to port 1883 of IP of machine running the broker.
3.) Start the broker and test your client!
You should not put the external address into the mosquitto config file.
You should probably not even have a listen line at all as mosquitto will bind to all available IP addresses on the machine it's running with the default port (1883).
If you really must use the listen directive (e.g. in order to set up SSL) then it should be configured with the internal IP address of the machine running the broker, in this case 192.168.1.100 and with a different port number so it does not clash with the default
listen 1884 192.168.1.100
