# [Eclipse Mosquitto™](https://mosquitto.org) on Ubiquiti Unifi Dream Machine (Pro)
> Run the MQTT message broker Eclipse Mosquitto™ on your Unifi Dream Machine (Pro).
## Prerequisities
- Working **`on_boot.d`** setup (check [unifi-utilities/unifios-utilities#on-boot-script](https://github.com/unifi-utilities/unifios-utilities/tree/main/on-boot-script) for instructions)
- A VLAN network (you can use one you are already using)
**Recommended**
- Use [container-common](../container-common/README.md) to prevent growing disk usage from accumulating logs
**Optional**
- Port forwarding, ie. WAN -> [MOSQUITTO_IP] (TCP/1883) if needed
**Note**
Throughout this guide I'm using `VLAN 20` with gateway `10.0.20.1/24` as an example; Mosquitto's IP will be `10.0.20.4`.
_Adjust according to your setup._
## Setup
1. First, lets create the folder structure we'll be working with.
`$ mkdir -p /data/mosquitto/config /data/mosquitto/data`
This is where Mosquitto's configuration file and data ("persistence database"; if enabled) will live.
If you're unsure on how to configure mosquitto, use the provided barebone config [`config/mosquitto.conf`](config/mosquitto.conf) to get it initially running.
2. **Optional:** Customize [`on_boot.d/45-mosquitto.sh`](on_boot.d/45-mosquitto.sh) to your setup and copy to `/data/on_boot.d/`.
Most likely you'll need to mark the script as executable, this will do the trick:
`$ chmod a+x /data/on_boot.d/45-mosquitto.sh`
3. Then take a loot at [`cni/45-mosquitto.conflist`](cni/45-mosquitto.conflist) and make sure it matches your previously defined configuration; then place it in `/data/podman/cni/`
4. Run boot script (to create the mosquitto network set it's ip routes)
`$ sh /data/on_boot.d/45-mosquitto.sh`
It fail when trying to run the container, but thats okay, its just for setting op needed configuration before initial image run.
The script will also create a [minimal configuration](config/mosquitto.conf) for Mosquitto in `/data/mosquitto/config/`, _**only if it doesn't already exist**_.
> **Note:** You can use this config to get everything started, but I highly recommend securing your instance with authentication (links to the offical documentation & other resources are at the bottom)
5. Register the container with podman:
```shell
$ podman run -d --network mosquitto \
--restart always \
--security-opt=no-new-privileges \
--name mosquitto \
--hostname mosquitto.local \
-e "TZ=Europe/Berlin" \
-v /data/mosquitto/config/:/mosquitto/config \
-v /data/mosquitto/data/:/mosquitto/data \
eclipse-mosquitto:latest
```
6. Run boot script again and we are done!
`$ sh /data/on_boot.d/45-mosquitto.sh`
> You should now be able to connect with any MQTT client to Mosquitto, in my case `mqtt://10.0.20.4:1883`
## Commands
**Updates**
To update container image to its latest version, first delete the current container (`$ podman stop mosquitto && podman rm mosquitto`) and follow through setup steps 5. & 6.
**Logs**
If you want to know what mosquitto is doing, run `$ podman logs -f mosquitto` to follow the logs.
