Healthcheck in Mosquitto docker container

Open genieai-vikas opened this issue 4 years ago • 7 comments

I setup mosquitto password using a password file

volumes: - /password:/mosquitto/config How can I add healthcheck in docker-compose? I tried the below solution provided here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/39275666/script-to-check-mosquitto-is-healthy

but getting error Connection error: Connection Refused: not authorised 

healthcheck:
  test: ["CMD-SHELL", "timeout -t 5 mosquitto_sub -t '$$SYS/#' -C 1 | grep -v Error || exit 1"]
  interval: 10s
  timeout: 10s
  retries: 6

Also, I tried a couple of other options but they are asking me to pass username and password. Can't I use this password file?

If you're using a password file for authentication then the client connecting for a health check must use authentication as well.

I did another example here without required password for probes. #1270

Is it probless to expose a http API for health check?

Any resolution to this? The http API would be nice.

That’s perfect. Thanks for pointing it out.

Well... not neccessarily. Being rejected by the server's auth also means that it is running 🙂. In many cases that might suffice.
