New to mqtt, need help connecting teslamate to hass via mqtt

Configuration
1

I’m following the instructions here:
Teslamate MQTT Integration · alandtse/tesla Wiki · GitHub

I have a running instance of teslamate on my synology nas docker.
I have mosquito installed and MQTT integration working as well.

I have configured the teslamate’s envr var with the following
Environment Variables | TeslaMate

However, following the documentation, when listening to the “teslamate/cars/#” topic, I’m not receiving any messages.

Am I missing something?

This was installed alongside my teslamate docker install. I kept the default values, but could this be where I am missing something?

What should be in here?

This was the docker-compose.yml I went off of.

version: "3"

services:
  teslamate:

    restart: always
    environment:

Step 1: Did you check with, e.g. MQTT Explorer, if MQTT messages are actually published?
Step 2: Did you check the HA log?

Thank you! Installing and using MQTT explorer made me realize my mqtt host was incorrect. That helped me fix my issue.

I did, i’m at the same spot and they’re nothing is showing up in mqtt explorer and teslamate and graphana are running perfectly fine

I have pretty much the same code as you but i’m not able to get it to communicate
