  3. Persistence DB file not created with mosquitto mqqt broker

Persistence DB file not created with mosquitto mqqt broker

  • D

    Thx for your answer i already tried with Sigusr1 but will try again with also sigusr2 maybe this gives more info. Messages are retained, i can check this by reconnect to the broker without stopping the broker,so this has been working.

    Where can i switch on check_retain_source and retain_available? In mosquitto.conf?

    The strange thing ist that exakt the same config was working in older version of openwrt/mosquitto...

    @DocHardinger Are you using the Onion beta 22 or is this a custom build? I'll check on on of my devices.

    You can turn these options on by just adding them to the mosquitto.conf just add them to the bottom of the file and set to true.

    @crispyoz Yes were using beta build 22.03.05 with custom build. But i already tried it with standard beta build 22.03.05 from onion. Same issues.

    i will try now with the new settings in mosquitto.conf.

    @DocHardinger also try not setting the persistence location, it will default to /var/lib/mosquitto/mosquitto.db

    If none of these work then I start to wonder if persistence was not included in the build options, I can check on my owt 22 unit when I'm at home later.

    @crispyoz i used the openwrt beta 22.03. original from onion and installed mosquitto with opkg (the ssl version) but still the same issue, i also tried without setting the directory for the db file, but no success.

    @DocHardinger I tested on a stock OpenWrt 22 build, I also had an issue with the persistence. There was nothing in the logs but it was having an issue creating the database. If you run it in the console instead of as a service then you can see the error. This is mosquitto nossl version 2.0.18

    Stop and disable the service:
    service mosquitto stop
    service mosquitto disable

    Now run mosquitto in the console:

    mosquitto -c /etc/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf

    In my case I set the database to be stored in my data directory /etc/data

    mkdir /etc/data
    chown mosquitto /etc/data

    This is the error I was receiving:

    i did exact the same but not even getting an error. Same configuration as in my previous post and getting:

    @DocHardinger

    You can download my ipk and config here:
    https://drive.proton.me/urls/R5XPJM90XG#LIJ04l5vml8R

    This was a build from openwrt git main with only the minimum required changes to the config

    I uploaded both the ssl and nonssl ipk's, I ran my tests on the ssl version.

    @crispyoz Tried this but no success because of different architecture. But what i now find out is that version 2.0.15-1 and 2.0.17 of mosquitto is working as expected. Downloaded it from original openwrt packages ( https://archive.openwrt.org/releases/packages-22.03/mipsel_24kc/packages/ ). Version 2.0.18 from same source isnt. So there seems to be a bug inside the mosquitto package.

    @DocHardinger What different architecture are you referring to? The ipk I shared was for Omega2+.

    @crispyoz yeah its strange i tried your ipk but gets an error because of architecture. When im using the ipk from the source of my last post its working fine. Were using an Omega2+ with custom build firmware.

    @DocHardinger it just wants libopenssl3 installed, I assumed you had it installed on you.r system already. You should just be able to install libopenssl3 using opkg install libopenssl3.

    I also shared the non-ssl version since you don't seems to be using ssl.

    @crispyoz Yes and and some other libraries. Problem is that i need internet connection to install this or all the single packages.

    Anyway we will use mosquitto 2.0.17, but im not sure how to integrate this when building the firmware. normally we use the profile file for this but then it takes 2.0.18. So how can we achieve to use 2.0.17 when building the firmware?

    @DocHardinger

    In your feeds.conf, you can specify the source repository and branch, here is an example of the feed I use for plan44 repo just fine the branch for the version you want and add it like so:

    src-git plan44 https://github.com/plan44/plan44-feed.git;main

    Then run:
    scripts/feeds update -a
    scripts/feeds install -a

    This should add the feed for the branch you want to your make menuconfig

    Another option is to make your own source feed locally, you can see the details how to do this in the developer docs here

    @DocHardinger Third option is basically the same as the second option but instead of placing any source there just duplicate the existing mosquitto package directory in your local directory and modify the Makefile to change the version you want. Make will then pull down the source for the version you specify:

    PKG_NAME:=mosquitto
    PKG_VERSION:=2.0.18
    PKG_RELEASE:=3

    You'll also need to amend the hash.

    You probably need to amend the name also so you can distinguish the two versions in the make menuconfig menus.

    The existing package will be in <build directory>/feeds/packages/net/mosquitto

    I now just integrated the the mosquitto 2.0.17 package inside the firmware and removed the Mosquitto 2.0.18 package from the profile file. The i install the package after booting with the new firmware. So i just hope mosquitto will be fixed in the feature and i just can use the standard package again. If they didnt fix it i will go your way.

    Thx for your help, its a nice experience to get answers really soon in the onion community!
