Stupid question @cmccambridge....

 

The community apps version of the container is 1.5.8... But I see the current version on your github is 1.6.x.

 

EDIT: Never mind. It looks like when it installed originally the repository was listed as "cmccambridge/mosquitto-unraid:1.5.8". I changed it to "cmccambridge/mosquitto-unraid:latest" and all is good.

Ugh, great catch. Thanks for letting me know @JasonJoel!

 

This bug has been there since I migrated from quay.io in April 2019 and I never noticed, because I made the same edit locally that you've just done...

 

Good news is your fix is exactly correct. I've committed the same to the template repository, so other new installs and folks accidentally pinned at 1.5.8 should receive the update soon as well. Fixed with this PR.

Hello all,

 

BREAKING CHANGE ANNOUNCEMENT!

If you have never customized your Mosquitto container, you MUST take action after the next container update!

 

Starting with Mosquitto 2.0.0, the Eclipse project requires explicit configuration to enable listening on non-loopback network interfaces and to allow anonymous (unauthenticated) connections to the MQTT server. This change was made by the Eclipse project to harden their security posture, and is documented in the 2.0.0 release announcement and the official Eclipse migration guide.

 

The unRAID container is taking this breaking change as well, though I'm trying to make it as painless as possible... Three options for you to consider, in order of increasing difficulty:

  1. Set the RUN_INSECURE_MQTT_SERVER variable to return to the old default/insecure 1.x settings: A MQTT server on port 1883 that allows anonymous connections. If you have never customized Mosquitto configuration files, this will be your easiest option!
    1. In Docker Manager, click "Check for Updates" and wait for it to complete.
    2. Edit your Mosquitto-unraid container configuration
    3. You should see a new variable field, "Run Insecure MQTT Server". Change the value from 0 to 1.
    4. Save your changes.
    5. If available, run the Mosquitto container update.
  2. Edit the mosquitto-unraid-default.conf file in the configuration directory. If you would like more hands-on customization of this new security posture, give this a try.
    1. Run the Mosquitto container update.
    2. You will find a generated file mosquitto-unraid-default.conf in your "Config" path, e.g. /mnt/user/appdata/mosquitto/mosquitto-unraid-default.conf
    3. Read the file, select an option to enable, and save your changes.
    4. Restart the Mosquitto container.
  3. Configure the Mosquitto container to your liking (or update your existing configuration), including at least one listener. For advanced users.
    1. Refer to the mosquitto-unraid documentation or the official Mosquitto configuration docs.
    2. Restart the Mosquitto container after making your changes.

Let me know if you have any questions, and apologies for the disruption!

 

I debated a long time about whether I could somehow work around this breaking change, and in the end concluded that I cannot... without knowing how you may have customized Mosquitto, any automatic change I might attempt could be even more disruptive than this change, so I have erred on the side of caution in propagating the breaking change. Hopefully the pre-generated configuration options in mosquitto-unraid-default.conf or the override RUN_INSECURE_MQTT_SERVER option will provide you a quick way to resume previous functionality!
