    No, you need to recompile it again in case you make that change. Have you ever tried dietpi for RPI?

    @gohan OK. I did that, the same socket error remains in Mosquitto just under new id.
    Is my syntax correct or am I somehow having problems with mosquitto user-pw...?

    Haven't tried DietPi. Would Mys+Mosquitto+Openhab2 have trouble running on it? Or why should I change to it?

      have you tried connecting with another mqtt client like mqttfx to see if everything is working?

        @masmat What is the mqtt broker / version you are using?

          @gieljnssns One way is to replace the changed files, in this case EthernetServer.cpp for the first patch and EthernetClient.cpp for the second patch.

          You can download from:
          https://raw.githubusercontent.com/marceloaqno/MySensors/linux-fix-stability/drivers/Linux/EthernetServer.cpp
          https://raw.githubusercontent.com/marceloaqno/MySensors/linux-fix-stability/drivers/Linux/EthernetClient.cpp

          Here is a step-by-step:

          git clone https://github.com/mysensors/MySensors.git
          cd MySensors
          curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/marceloaqno/MySensors/linux-fix-stability/drivers/Linux/EthernetServer.cpp -o drivers/Linux/EthernetServer.cpp
          curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/marceloaqno/MySensors/linux-fix-stability/drivers/Linux/EthernetClient.cpp -o drivers/Linux/EthernetClient.cpp
          

          from here just run ./configure with your options and then make

            @marceloaqno Mosquitto v1.4.14.
            The broker is working, at least sending & receiving command line (_sub & _pub) messages.

              @gohan

              Can you provide some installation instructions for dietpi?
              I will try this...

                just download the image and do the same as a Raspian image. I haven't tried mqtt gateway yet, so I don't know if it may be a gateway bug or else.

                  @marceloaqno :
                  Hi, unfortunately the latest patch did not work for me.
                  Still the gw stops receiving, but without high cpu usage :-(
                  Fortunately I can restart the gw now using a button and this udp-scripts :-)

                  Of cource I could give dietpi a try, but I would think, that a general solution would be better (for other users as well)

                  cheers,
                  Otto

                    @gohan I had another sd card and tried a ready image of DietPi with Mosquitto pre-installed.
                    I tried it without user/password and mosquitto accepting anonymous but:

                    /var/log/mosquitto/mosquitto.log:

                    ..keeps repeating...

                    ...and sudo ./bin/mysgw -d:

                      1st patch is still working good for me. have had no issues since applying it.

                      question. is it normal/correct for the gateway to ping or spam? every 10 seconds i see the gateway announce it's version.
                      its not doing the full restart or anything.. just giving the 2.2.0 every 10 seconds.

                        @masmat have you tried with ethernet gateway? If I have time I'll try the mqtt this weekend

                        @mvader I never noticed that.... is it the mqtt GW?

                            I think OH should support it, but I was just asking to make a test.

                              The controller doesn't exist on the DietPi card yet but I'm not sure if that's causing the problem.

                                @masmat said in 💬 Building a Raspberry Pi Gateway:

                                --my-controller-ip-address=127.0.0.1

                                remove that parameter as it is not needed for ethernet

                                  The controller doesn't exist on the DietPi card yet but I'm not sure if that's causing the problem.

                                    @masmat have you tried with ethernet gateway? If I have time I'll try the mqtt this weekend

                                    @mvader I never noticed that.... is it the mqtt GW?

                                    every 10 seconds on the dot. it shows me the version of the gateway.

                                        Yesterday I cloned the latest version on a recent raspbian (9.3) and I applied the first patch of @marceloaqno .
                                        We will see. So long there were no problems. I will send an update in a few days...
                                        As a last help I could switch to mqtt and do a restart after a defined amount of time (if no events are received)....

                                        Cheers,
                                        Otto

                                          @marceloaqno I got my gw rfm69 gateway suddenly stopped communicating with nodes. I tried everything to reinstall it but without luck. I was able to have it running on my test rpi with a complete OS reinstall. Is there anything else I need need to clean up from my install to reset every settings? (besides the mysensors folder and mysensors.dat file I already deleted)
