unable to run with emqx_auth_mongo env variables

[chipec84]

Hello,

I am unable to run emqx-docker-v3.0-beta.3:latest with environement variables using the auth_mongo plugin.

Everything works perfectly fine when I configure the plugin through the DASHBOARD.

run command:

docker run --rm -ti --name emqx
-p 1883:1883 -p 8083:8083 -p 18083:18083
-e EMQX_ALLOW_ANONYMOUS=false
-e EMQ_LOADED_PLUGINS=”emqx_auth_mongo”
-e EMQX_AUTH__MONGO__SERVER=”192.168.1.3:27017”
-e EMQX_AUTH__MONGO__LOGIN=”xxx”
-e EMQX_AUTH__MONGO__PASSWORD=”xxx”
-e EMQX_AUTH__MONGO__AUTH_SOURCE=”xxx”
-e EMQX_AUTH__MONGO__DATABASE=”xxx”
-e EMQX_AUTH__MONGO__AUTH_QUERY__PASSWORD_HASH=plain
emqx-docker-v3.0-beta.3:latest

error log:

run_erl[678]: Erlang closed the connection.
20:27:56.767 [error] /opt/emqx/data/configs/app.2018.10.23.20.27.52.conf: Error converting value on line #2078 to latin1

EMQ version

emqx-docker-v3.0-beta.3:latest

Docker version

17.05.0

Work around

AUTH_MONGO configuration works with EMQX DASHBOARD, but every time the container is restarted, the whole configuration needs to be done again.

Thank you.

Aren't you overriding all the default plugins when you set EMQ_LOADED_PLUGINS=”emqx_auth_mongo” ? And you have a typo in that. It should be EMQX_LOADED_PLUGINS.

@chipec84 Sorry to reply to you so late, you can try our latest version and specify the environment variable "EMQX_LOADED_PLUGINS=emqx_auth_mongo"

just pulled emqx:latest and ran the following:

docker run --rm -ti --name emqx
-p 1993:1883 -p 2993:8083 -p 18083:18083
-e EMQX_ALLOW_ANONYMOUS=false
-e EMQX_LOADED_PLUGINS=”emqx_auth_mongo”
-e EMQX_AUTH__MONGO__SERVER=”192.168.1.3:27017”
-e EMQX_AUTH__MONGO__LOGIN=”xxx”
-e EMQX_AUTH__MONGO__PASSWORD=”xxx”
-e EMQX_AUTH__MONGO__AUTH_SOURCE=”xxx”
-e EMQX_AUTH__MONGO__DATABASE=”xxx”
-e EMQX_AUTH__MONGO__AUTH_QUERY__PASSWORD_HASH=plain
emqx/emqx:latest

I get the following error with no other logs:
run_erl[680]: Erlang closed the connection

Docker version: 17.05.0

Found the issue:
ENV variables should be passed without quotes.
It is very misleading because the quotes don’t appear in the logs, therefore thinking all is ok.
Maybe it should be written somewhere in the documentation?
