Today's IT project was to install an MQTT broker on my #SelfHosting #HomeLab. After a bit of shenanigans with DNS and certificates I've got it working. I'm using the Caddy proxy to generate me a certificate, and a shell script to copy the certificate to my docker host for use by the #Mosquitto #MQTT broker. My router and DNS server make sure the messages end up on the docker host, and a test application on my home desktop is able to subscribe and receive messages from the broker.

The real fun starts now... writing an app that receives my location data from #OwnTracks on my phone, stores it in a database, and ultimately does all sorts of pretty geospatial stuff.

Dva týdny jsem v #Homeassistant řešil senzor teploty a tlaku #BME280, který furt ukazoval konstantní hodnotu a občas se na zlomek sekundy objevila správná naměřená hodnota.
Hledal jsem v HA, hledal jsem v odesílajícím RPi5, restartoval nekonečnokrát, nenašel jsem chybu.
Až teď mě napadlo odinstalovat a nainstalovat #Mosquitto. A jede, #doprdelepráce.

Meine Fresse. #debian updaten ist ja eigentlich easy, aber wenns das alte LXC ist in dem noch der #mosquitto wohnt, dann ist die rote Lampe aber an, denn da war erstmal ganz von Hand die .conf nachpopeln angesagt.

hmm, does mosquitto not support bridge mode with MQTTv5?

Trying to bridge from EMQX to mosquitto 2.1.2 with MQTTv5 and bridge mode enabled and it fails with "protocol error"

Turn the protocol down to v3.1.1 and it woks

I've got #MQTT ( #Mosquitto ) running on #HardenedBSD and integrated with one of my #Meshtastic devices.

Manchmal braucht es nur einen einzigen Post in der Timeline, und man landet in einem Kaninchenbau. So geschehen heute: Ein Mastodon-Post von @Doppellhelix vom 2. März 2026 hat mich auf das Projekt evcc Crowdscience aufmerksam gemacht. Ein Forschungsprojekt der HTW Berlin, bei dem evcc-Nutzer:innen ihre Ladedaten anonym für die Energiewende-Forschung spenden können. Klingt gut, dachte […]

Unixorn - 90% Snark by weight Mar 1

I made a helm chart for running Eclipse Mosquitto in a k8s cluster for my Home Assistant and wrote a blog post showing how to configure and install it.

Install MQTT into k8s

Now that the cluster is up and has Argo CD controlling application deployment, I’m starting to move my homelab services out of docker-compose stacks and into my k8s cluster. I run MQTT (Eclipse Mosquitto in my case) as a message bus between zigbee2mqtt and zwave-js-ui and Home Assistant, so it’s the first service I’m moving into the k8s cluster.
