I had a few issues when getting RTL433-to-mqtt up and running:
I couldn't get docker build to work out of the box
MQTT auth wasn't working but I didn't know why
To try and help other avoid these snags, this PR:
Changes the Docker base image to the Python 3.7 version, which is a drop in to fix compilation of RTL433
Make the container print a more descriptive message to help debug the MQTT connection
Print the exit code of RTL433 to help work out issues at that step too
Made the auth a logging configurable from config.py instead of by editing the script, hopefully a step towards being able to share this image on Docker Hub
I hope this helps, and thank you for making & sharing such a useful tool!
