Just navigate to that link and put in your server credentials and you should be able to connect using port 9001 (this is the default unless you changed it). You can use the HIVEMQ Websocket Client page for testing out MQTT from your web browser. Now you have your MQTT instance secured with authentication! Testing it out The password.txt file we created will then be deleted. You now need to restart the MQTT container from the Unraid web UI and the container will encrypt the credentials and move them into the passwords.mqtt file ( Do not add users directly to the passwords.mqtt file, only delete and re-order users from here).
#UNRAID SETUP BRIDGE HOW TO#
You can read the /mnt/user/appdata/MQTT/passwords.README file for more information on how to format the passwords.txt file if you are having issues (or comment below and I can help you out).Īfter that we need to edit the nf file and change the line allow_anonymous true to allow_anonymous false in order to force users to authenticate to access the server. Usertwo:password2 password.txt example with two users What we need to do is add a new file called passwords.txt inside this directory that we will then add our users and what passwords we want for them like so: userone:password1 In order to generate users and passwords for our MQTT instance we need to go to our MQTT appdata path (default location is /mnt/user/appdata/MQTT unless you changed it during install). You can run MQTT without authentication but having an extra layer of security is always great and highly recommended.

#UNRAID SETUP BRIDGE INSTALL#
Note: You will need to install the container and have it run at least once in order for it to create all of it's config files. Go to Apps and search for MQTT and install the container from user spants. Installing MQTT in Unraid is actually really easy as long as we have Community Applications installed. This post is going to cover how to install a MQTT Mosquitto broker docker container using Community Applications within Unraid. Example of basic MQTT network consisting of publishers and a subscriber communicating via a broker All it needs to know is what channels to subscribe or publish to. This way you can have multiple devices communicating with each other without having to have each device know about the other devices. There are channels and any client can subscribe or publish to any channel. If you have never heard of MQTT think of a chatroom (like Slack or Discord) but for devices to communicate. I also log all this data for later graphing in Grafana.
#UNRAID SETUP BRIDGE SOFTWARE#
I then have software like Home Assistant or Node-RED use this data for doing automations. It runs on my home server and all of my devices/sensors connect to it to publish their data. Now you can assign the port 80 to the container and run it.I use MQTT for all of the sensors in my Home Automation setup. Go ahead and enter the static IP address that you want to use for the Docker container: You should now have an additional field called: Fixed IP Address (optional). In the settings and look for the Network Type variable and change it to: Custom. To use this feature, open up your Docker tab on UnRaid and then click on your container to access it's settings. Luckily UnRAID has an excellent feature that does exactly that! Unfortunately, port 80 is already reversed for my UnRAID server! So I had to figure out how to run my Docker container on another static IP address. In setting up PiHole, the port 80 must be used, otherwise the container won't work. Click here to read about how I setup my UnRAID PiHole Docker container. I've recently set up a PiHole sever for my home network (to block those pesky ads - mainly on my mobile devices). Any time I wanted to set up a new Docker container, I would assign it another port on .X, for example, .X:8112 for my Deluge container and .X:7878 for my Sonarr server. Up until now, I've been running all my Docker containers on different ports on my UnRAID server - I've assigned my UnRAID server the static port .X. You can read more about how I set it up here: Building my UnRAID NAS Server Last year I build and configured setup my UnRAID server to act as my little home NAS.
