How to install mosquitto

[tommi32 (Tommi)]

Hi there!

I need help with installing mosquitto to my openhab.
The tutorials says, just only execute “sudo openhabian-config” and install it from “Optional components”
But my openhab running from docker, and after executing sudo openhabian-config, gives me: command not found.
What can i do now?

You would need to explain your setup first.
It’s either Docker or openHABian.

Mind this please

Before you ask… Community forum is NOT a helpdesk Let’s put this in the front: nobody here works for openHAB. The community members are helping with an Open Source Project, not a commercial software. Additionally, the forum is NOT dealing with general Home Automation topics, the focus is on openHAB. In some cases, various products or technologies which are not directly linked to openHAB can be discussed but with the proper title, category or tag. We are ALL volunteering our free time to help…

Hi Markus,
Its a docker, installed from here: https://hub.docker.com/r/openhab/openhab/
version: 2.5.10

I tried install it with command: apt-get install mosquitto, but service cant start:
root@SimpleNAS:/openhab# service mosquitto status
[FAIL] mosquitto is not running … failed!

root@SimpleNAS:/openhab# service mosquitto restart
[ ok ] Restarting network daemon:: mosquitto.

root@SimpleNAS:/openhab# service mosquitto status
[FAIL] mosquitto is not running … failed!

You need to run Mosquitto in a separate container. https://hub.docker.com/_/eclipse-mosquitto

A Docker container is not a VM. A Docker container is not like installed software either. You don’t control them through service or systemd or the like. You control them using the docker command. If you plan on using Docker, you would do well to go read about some of the basics for how containers work.
