Hey guys so ive hit a bit of a snag. I was able to successfully run my yaml files and get containers running for MQTT. The problem is when I try to connect to it, it just doesnt work. So here are my YAML Files

When I check if my containers are running they are running fine. When I check the logs it shows the following
1618785757: mosquitto version 2.0.10 starting
1618785757: Config loaded from /mosquitto/config/mosquitto.conf.
1618785757: Opening ipv4 listen socket on port 1883.
1618785757: Opening ipv6 listen socket on port 1883.
1618785757: Opening websockets listen socket on port 9001.
1618785757: mosquitto version 2.0.10 running
I try to connect on mqtt.local (as per the ingress) on port 1883 and the logs dont update and it just says connecting using my iPad app
If I go to mqtt.local on my browser the logs do update (I believe they are using websockets) and it shows the following
1618786368: Client <unknown> disconnected due to protocol error.
1618786368: New connection from 10.42.1.3:48912 on port 1883.
1618786368: Client <unknown> disconnected due to protocol error.
1618786368: New connection from 10.42.1.3:57298 on port 1883.
1618786368: Client <unknown> disconnected due to protocol error.
I'll be honest. I'm pretty stumped. Confirmed the username and password a dozen times. Open to ideas if anybody has some to share. Thanks in advance
Your Ingress declaration points to port 1883 which is running native MQTT over TCP.
Ingress sets up a HTTP reverse proxy that points to the service, since MQTT is not HTTP this just won't work.
As pointed out in the comments one option is to change the Ingress to point to port 9001 which is your WebSocket Listener on the broker
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: mqtt-ingress
namespace: mqtt
annotations:
kubernetes.io/ingress.class: nginx
nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/backend-protocol: "HTTP"
spec:
rules:
- host: mqtt.local
http:
paths:
- pathType: Prefix
path: "/"
backend:
service:
name: mqtt
port:
number: 9001
You will then be able to connect with any MQTT clients that support MQTT over Websockets as that protocol is bootstrapped via HTTP.
It's also worth pointing out that the Ingress reverse proxy will be exposing this route on port 80.
The only other way to connect is to connect directly to the cluster node that is running the MQTT broker. But this will mean changing the ServiceType to NodePort or LoadBalancer and mapping an external IP address.
