Error: Unable to open password file

[Luky12568]

So i tried running sudo docker run eclipse-mosquitto:2 mosuitto_passwd -b ~/chirpstack-docker/configuration/mosquitto/config/passwd (username) (passwd) and it throws Error: Unable to open password file /home/(user)/chirpstack-docker/configuration/mosquitto/config/passwd. No such file or directory. Is there any easy fix? I am runninng it on docker with chirpstack on Fedora. Any help appreciated

It's unlikely that path exists inside the container. That path is likely mapped to /mosquitto/config/passwd inside the container

I am using docker-compose up and everything else reads fine from there, i can nano to it

[Daedaluz]

Can you post compose file?

[Luky12568]

How?

[hardillb]

Copy and paste the content on the file

Wrap the pasted text in triple back ticks e.g.

```
version: 3.1
...
```

1. docker-compose.yml
2. passwd file

[hardillb]

OK, as I mentioned the path you passed to the command is the path on the host machine, not inside the running container. The command you should actually be running is going to be something like

docker run -it chirpstack-docker-mosquitto-0 mosquitto_passwd -b  /mosquitto/config/passwd [username] [password]

This breaks down to

• -it tells docker to assign an interactive terminal to the command
• -chirpstack-docker-mosquitto-0 the name of the running instance of the container (I've assumed you didn't use the -p option when running docker compose up
• mosquitto_passwd the command to run
• /mosquitto/config/passwd the path to the file inside the container. This is because ./configuration/mosquitto/config/ is mounted on path /mosquitto/config/ from the volumes section of the mosquitto section of the docker-compose.yml file
