Local mode only [message #1848496]

Hi,

I have setup Mosquitto on my windows 10 machine but it starts in Local only mode and will not accept external connections, I have been googling all day and have tried several things but to no avail. I know there have been big security changes in Mosquitto since I last used it. This is what I have in my config file:

listener 1883 0.0.0.0
allow_anonymous true
password_file C:\mosquitto\p2

The encrypted password file was created using the utility and is in the Mosquitto folder called p2.txt, each time I have changed something I have stopped the Mosquitto service and then started again, in verbose mode it says that it is starting in local mode, any help would be appreciated

P.S. ports are forwarded in my router

Thanks
Stuart

I'm experiencing the exact same thing with the latest docker.

I'm trying to run the official docker container with the following docker compose segment:

  mqtt:
    container_name: mosquitto
    image: eclipse-mosquitto:latest
    ports:
      - "1883:1883"
      - "9002:9001"
    volumes:
      - ${PWD}/mqtt-config:/mqtt/config:ro
      - ${PWD}/mqtt-log:/mqtt/log
      - ${PWD}/mqtt-data:/mqtt/data

And the following config:

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

port 1883
allow_anonymous true

I even tried adding a `password_file` to avoid the error but I got the exact same one.

The error is:

Starting in local only mode. Connections will only be possible from clients running on this machine.
Create a configuration file which defines a listener to allow remote access.

I got the idea of adding a password file from the link in the line below this error.
From what I read and from all the examples I found it should work but It doesn't, what am I doing wrong?
