    Simply delete the EMQX Broker directory

# Install EMQX in Docker (Contain a simple docker-compose cluster)

WARING

Because emqx stores data in the 'data/mnesia/' directory, when using the container to start emqx, the hostname or FQDN must be used to form the node name of emqx. Otherwise, the data storage directory will be switched, resulting in data loss.

# Run a single container

  1. Get docker image

  2. Start docker container

    $ docker run -d --name emqx -p 1883:1883 -p 8081:8081 -p 8083:8083 -p 8883:8883 -p 8084:8084 -p 18083:18083 emqx/emqx-ee:v4.0.0
