Enabling TLS support requires changing my_user_config.h but that file gets overwritten

[richardpowellus]

Per this Github issue for Tasmota: arendst/Tasmota#6084 in order to enable TLS support you need to set #define USE_MQTT_TLS in my_user_config.h directly (you cannot put it in the overrides file).

I'm using Tamocompiler in docker and even if open a shell and directly edit my_user_config.h, when I click "compile" all my changes to my_user_config.h get overridden.

So right now I can't use Tasmocompiler to build firmware with TLS support.

Can you either:

1. Give us a way to edit my_user_config.h that persists; or
2. Add "TLS" as a feature that can be added from the web UI?; or
3. Let me know if there is some other workaround for this issue?

Thanks!

Technically TasmoCompiler do not overwrite my_user_config.h - git does.
When you hit Compile button, TasmoCompiler callsgit reset --hard to throw away all uncommitted changes, to have clean, unmodified Tasmota source code for selected branch/version (all changes made before hitting Compile button will be discarded). Then TasmoCompiler create platformio.ini, user_config_override.h and starts compiling the source.
Since MQTT over TLS can be enabled only by editing/changing my_user_config.h this has to be implemented in TasmoCompiler to make it work as expected.

For now, you can prepare my_user_config.h file outside Tasmota source directory, and after hitting compile button you have to overwrite this file:

cp /home/dprus/my_user_config.h /tmp/Sonoff-Tasmota/sonoff

This is just idea for quick-fix, I haven't tested it.

Anyway, I will think about how to implement it in the future.

It looks like it is already solved: arendst/Tasmota#6330 - so, from the current development branch you can do this by user_config_override.h file.
You can use then "Custom parameters" field to put your MQTT TLS related stuff.

I will add an option inside "Select features" step to allow to check "MQTT over TLS"

It is already implemented. You can try it.
