Second Pi won't connect to MQTT on First Pi

General
1

I have two Pi's, one as MQTT broker.
This can connect MQTT-out just fine, with MQTT server set to localhost, or IP address

On Pi2, I cannot get the node-red MQTT-in node to connect to Pi1

What have I missed here?

Thank you

Have you configured mosquitto (assuming you are using mosquitto) to allow network connections? If not then create a file in /etc/mosquitto/conf.d/ called, for example mossy.conf (anything.conf will do) and in there put

# allow network access without a password
listener 1883
allow_anonymous true

# human readable timestamps in log
log_timestamp true
log_timestamp_format %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S

The timestamp bit is not essential, but tells mosquitto to put readable timestamps in its log. Then restart mosquitto
sudo systemctl restart mosquitto

That's done it, thank you.
