Mosquitto deployment compose

General
1

I have a couple of issues deploying mosquitto, I hope someone can shine a light on it.
I am using docker compose and want to add the container to a custom network (called mynetwork)
Besides that, I want to use the password file I have created (mosquitto.passwd)
What happens when I deploy the container with docker-compose:

  • The container runs, but not in the defined network.
    it mentions Stack: docker, dont know why.
    No ports are published, although I have defined some ports to be published.

I have a mosquitto.conf file and a mosquitto.passwd file which I would like to deploy automatically using my docker-compose script, how do I do that ?

Below my compose script and config file

compose file:

version: '3.8'
services:
######################################
# Mosquitto (mqtt)
######################################
  mqtt:
    image: eclipse-mosquitto:2.0
    hostname: mqtt
    container_name: mqtt
    restart: always
    volumes:
      - /docker/mqtt/data:/mosquitto/data
      - /docker/mqtt/config:/mosquitto/config
      - /docker/mqtt/log:/mosquitto/log
    ports:
      - "1883:1883"
    network_mode: "mynetwork"
    environment:
      - TZ=Europe/Amsterdam  
    command: "mosquitto -c /mosquitto/config/mosquitto.conf"

config file:

persistence true
persistence_location /docker/mqtt/data/
log_dest file /docker/mqtt/log/mosquitto.log

## Authentication ##
allow_anonymous true
password_file /docker/mqtt/mosquitto.passwd

When something doesnā€™t work as expected, read the documentation again and again until you see what your mistake was. Do this even if you are sure you did everything right because there is a good chance you are just not able to notice the difference when you subconsciously donā€™t want to believe that could be the solution. network_mode is not for setting a network name. It is a ā€œmodeā€ not a name. You have networks to set network names.
