Hi folks, just discovered Rhasspy the other day and decided to see if it’s suitable for an offline voice assistant. Being familiar with Docker I have installed it in a container on my Debian server with the intention of it being the central processing hub and to use satellites to send/receive mqtt messages for audio. So, the service is running but no audio devices though, and as I have an external Mosquitto MQTT server v2.0.14 already installed I connected to that. The Rhasspy logs show that connection and subscriptions are okay, however if I enter text in the Recognize textbox and enter it, it fails as follows:

Plus I don’t see anything when watching my mqtt broker using MQTT.fx.
So, I tried using the internal mqtt server and it worked instantly BUT why? WHY does it not work with my external mqtt server? Any advice appreciated. Thanks.
