Setting up passwords

Security

By default, the Mosquitto container has no password. You can leave it that way if you like but its always a good idea to secure your services.

Step 1 To add the password run ./services/mosquitto/terminal.sh, I put some helper text in the script. Basically, you use the mosquitto_passwd -c /mosquitto/config/pwfile MYUSER command, replacing MYUSER with your username. it will then ask you to type your password and confirm it. exiting with exit.

Step 2 Edit the file called services/mosquitto/mosquitto.conf and remove the comment in front of password_file. Restart the container with docker-compose restart mosquitto. Type those credentials into Node-red etc.
