request mosquitto MQTTT hardware plugin

[pvklink]

Hi,

Is it possible to accept 127.0.0.1 as a MQTT connection in de MQTT hardware plugin to the localhost instead of hardcoded ipadress ?

To be sure: did you try it to use 127.0.0.1 as IP address instead of localhost in the MQTT hardware configuration?
And the conclusion was that it did not work?
And what if you fill in the IP address of your Domoticz server?

localhost and 127.0.0.1 dont work.
Using an harded coded ip adres is just my point...you want to avoid that if possible..
In my cases the mqtt server is always on the same rpi (one of 5) as domoticz.
When updating my images, container and sometime volumes you dont want a lot of configure actions.
When i copy my test environment to my production environment, i want to set one variable...test or production
I am almost there!
In the past i was two days buyi to configure about 10 environments on 5 rpi's
Now i have one software stack with volumes, docker compose and dockerfiles.. some clicks in a menu, anf after 15minutes everything is working

localhost used to work. Is mosquitto listening to localhost? You can check this with mosquito_pub

Edit: localhost within a Domoticz docker will only look to mosquitto in the Domoticz docker. Mosquito is on another docker...

localhost and 127.0.0.1 dont work (Edit: on docker.....)

Does it work now?
Edit: found this as possible solution (do not know if it is still valid (2014) )

Not sure why yours doesn't work, I've never used anything else
