Management center to Mosquitto on different host

Tech Talk
1

I’ve installed a Mosquitto instance (2.0.11) on a Raspberry Pi under Ubuntu 22.10. It’s working and is seen by Home assistant.

I would like to use Docker Management Center on MacOS with the Mosquito instance on the Pi. Is that possible?

Hi,

That will work yes. The OS Version does not allow reconfiguring much in the UI, unlike the in the Pro version. There you are also allowed to add more than one Broker to the UI.

To change the input URL in the OS you have to adjust your docker-compose file.
There you find the following:

  CEDALO_MC_BROKER_URL: 
  CEDALO_MC_BROKER_USERNAME: 
  CEDALO_MC_BROKER_PASSWORD:

This way you can address a broker, which is not connected locally.
