cannot find Mosquito on port 1883

Hi,

I just installed Mosquito via dietpi-software but cannot see it on port 1883.

I can see it is running using htop.

Is there anything obvious I should be checking?

edit: Typo

ss -tulpn | grep LISTEN tells me that Mosquito is listening on 1883.

ss -tulpn | grep LISTEN

and my logs seem to show it is OK…

OK, I get this in the logs after trying to browse to :81113

Wait, is there even a webpage for Mosquito?

When I read “clients authenticate” in the docs, I assumed that meant a webpage. Is this the address that HA (for example) should be using?

yes, I guess. There is no web interface if I’m not mistaken. This is an interface that can be used by other apps only.

Thanks for confirming. I’m feeling a bit stupid right now, :stuck_out_tongue:

There are 3rd party HTTP frontends available for MQTT, e.g.: https://github.com/fabaff/mqtt-panel :slight_smile:.

cheers!
