I’m new to Docker. The whole reason I installed it was to use the Cedalo Platform Docker stack. So I’d like to migrate my previous MQTT setup over to use the new Mosquitto container but how do I edit the Mosquitto config?

Hi m\_elias,

If I understand you correctly you are looking for the configuration file for the Mosquitto Broker, right?  
You can find it right here 🙂 :

Thanks. I realized later that I can just browse the docker volumes through the host’s file system.

Hi there,

I am having the same issues, however my host does not offer support for a file manager system and I would have to access the file from console is this possible? Would I be better served using SSH to change the file?

Hi Matt,

you should be able to SSH into your host and then modify the `mosquitto.conf`. The file should be located at `${installation_directory}/mosquitto/config/mosquitto.conf`. Your installation directory is `~/cedalo_platform` if you followed the installation instructions on [Installation | Cedalo Platform](https://docs.cedalo.com/streamsheets/2.4/installation).
