Listening to Unix Domain Sockets on a Windows machine

Mosquitto MQTT Broker Community Q&A
1

I am trying to run the Mosquitto broker (mosquitto version 2.0.15) on a Windows host listening to a Unix Domain Socket.

I tried from the command line:

‘C:\Program Files\mosquitto\mosquitto.exe’ -v -p /tmp/mosquitto.sock

and with a config file that contains:

listener 0 /tmp/mosquitto.sock

In both cases I get the error messages:

1689803629: Error: Invalid port specified (0).

or

1689803643: Error: Invalid port value (0).

Can someone please help me in get that working? Do I need to recompile the broker with Domain Socket support?
