Error during setup of component mqtt

Installation Home Assistant OS
1

I tried to use the MQTT addon today, but got issues.

Here is my config:

{
  "plain": false,
  "ssl": true,
  "anonymous": false,
  "logins": [
    {
      "username": "<username>",
      "password": "<password>"
    }
  ],
  "customize": {
    "active": false,
    "folder": "mosquitto"
  },
  "certfile": "fullchain.pem",
  "keyfile": "privkey.pem"
}

Here is the part in the config file:

mqtt:
  broker: core-mosquitto
  username: <username>
  password: !secret mqtt_pass

And here is the error in the error log:

And the addon log:

starting version 3.2.2

1519939794: Warning: Mosquitto should not be run as root/administrator.

Any idea how I can fix this and where it comes from?

The broker part is wrong. It should be:

broker: 192.168.xxx.xxx

Or:

broker: mysite.duckdns.org

3

I took that from here:

But you installed the Mosquito add-on and you are calling the core mosquitto in the config…

Is that wrong?

I just followed the instruction on the linked page it says at the end:

02_11h40m24s_001_
02_11h40m24s_001_1214×895 50.1 KB

Where is the issue? Maybe I’m to blind to see it right now :stuck_out_tongue:

I still don’t see the issue. It was described like that on the addon page…

I mean is the addon page wrong or what’s the issue?

8

And did you tried changing the broker as i told you?

9

Broker was correct, but since I used the ssl option and disabled the plain mode, I needed to set the port to 8883
