Description C. Gräfe 2015-10-16 07:27:47 UTC

Description of problem:
The package in question contains a systemd service description (/usr/lib/systemd/system/mosquitto.service) and provides a directory for configuration (/etc/mosquitto) including an example config file. When I create and modify the actual config from the example and restart the service, I would expect the service to load it. This does not happen though, since the mosquitto daemon requires any config file to be specified using the '-c' command line argument. This argument is missing in the service definition, so the daemon will always use its default configuration.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
1.4.2-1.fc22 

How reproducible:
Install mosquitto using dnf, create config in /etc/mosquitto, restart service.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. dnf install mosquitto
2. cp /etc/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf.example /etc/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf
3. edit mosquitto.conf
4. systemctl restart mosquitto

Actual results:
The mosquitto daemon is still operating on its compiled-in configuration.

Expected results:
The mosquitto daemon should load the configuration from /etc/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf instead.


Additional info:
I would suggest moving /etc/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf.example to /etc/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf in the package and modifying the service definition:

Comment 1 Rich Mattes 2015-12-10 00:49:21 UTC

I think that's reasonable, and it follows the same pattern as the upstart script shipped with mosquitto.  I can add the -c to the unit file, and install the example config file to mosquitto.conf as %config(noreplace) so it doesn't blow away anyone's custom mosquitto.conf
