Hi Rui,
Is there a blog regarding Rosen’s suggestions on RandomNerdTut?
It would also benefit me if there was any.

Thanks.
Saad

Place your custom configuration files in the /etc/mosquitto/conf.d/ directory, which is included by default in Mosquitto’s configuration. To add listener 1883 and allow_anonymous false, you should create a new configuration file inside /etc/mosquitto/conf.d/.

do not edit mosquitto.conf file

Hi.
We usually recommend using ngrok services to open a secure tunnel to your Raspberry Pi.
Another good alternative is using Clouflare Tunnels.

I have an account on a web host service with a fixed IP. I would really love to use it to host my MQTT broker but all my attempts and installing the required pieces have failed. Then I saw your tutorial. I wonder, is it possible to open the Raspberry Pi broker to the outside internet? I’m guessing I would need to use a Dynamic DNS to nail down the IP but I’m afraid I just don’t have all the pieces of this puzzle. Is it possible?

Hi.
Maybe it was some problem with the server.
It is working as expected for me.
Can you test it again?
Regards,
Sara

Much thanks for this very clear tutorial. It worked out for me just fine.

The link behind “Testing Mosquitto Broker and Client on Raspbbery Pi” on this page returns nothing. (An ever spinning wheel).

Are you aware of that ? I’d thought I let you know.

Rgds,
Diederik from Netherlands.

Hi.
The address already in use is not an error.
You can still connect to the broker. Just make sure to use the username and password when trying to establish a connection.
Regards,
Sara

Thank a lot for this tutorial and the others.

I have an issue when I try to enable the remote access.
with “allow anonymous” mosquitto work fine and I can connect an other device
If I follow your tutorial and try to set User/password, this doesn’t run and I get “error : address already in use ” on port 1883.
If I change the port to 1884 in mosquitto.conf it’s run correctly.
My question is: Why I can’t connect on 1883? (all mqtt devices have set on 1883).

Thank for your help
Jakl1

I have tried with both rpi3 Ang rpi5, installed broker and runs locally both mosquitto_sub and mosquitto_pub okay. I add listener 1883
allow_anonymous true

To mosquitto.conf file and save. Then I reboot RPi and check:
Sudo systemctl status mosquitto

Broker fails. I must be doing something wrong.
Best regards.
