Cannot assign requested address

[drthanwho]

Hey, I tried running your python but it doesn't seem to work

I'm not sure why this is happening. Any chance you could help me out?

This is thought to be used inside of a docker. I notice you are using raspberries. One option would be to try to run the commands from the Dockerfile on the raspberry.
Install this: pip install paho-mqtt

That is what I tried at first. I did install the package but it's not working and gives me the socket error because it's not inside the container I guess. This is the issue though. I tried building the container first but that also gave me errors.

Seems to have an issue with installing the paho-mqtt in the container, so the 'mqtt-syslog' image is never created and then there's nothing to run

Why is your dockerfile doing: "sudo pip install". the code in github does not have that sudo. and you don't need to sudo inside containers.

That was me playing around. I was getting the exact error with the original dockerfile too

[jorgebonilla]

exec user process caused "exec format error" means "you are trying to run container for other architecture.

RaspberryPi is arm architecture.

That "python:3.5.2-alpine" does not have an arm architecture version. Try changing for "python:3-slim". Check https://hub.docker.com/_/python?tab=tags&page=4 for other options.

Ah thanks! That was the issue. Sorry for all these questions. I'm very new to Docker.
It now creates the container with no errors. But of course now there's some new error :(

I checked the container and its excited. The logs show it cannot assign the requested address to the TCPSocket. I thought that might be a port issue maybe. But then tried with a completely different port and I still have the same error

[jorgebonilla]

try "--network host" on the docker command to bind to the port to the host network.

It doesn't like that either
