Domoticz - http://www.domoticz.com/

Docker containers with official Domoticz (beta) builds.

Currently available for the following Linux platforms:

Image Architectures
Arm 32 bit
Arm 64 bit
Linux 64 bit

Repository: https://hub.docker.com/repository/docker/domoticz/domoticz

Domoticz is a Home Automation System that lets you monitor and configure various devices like: Lights, Switches, various sensors/meters like Temperature, Rain, Wind, UV, Electra, Gas, Water and much more. Notifications/Alerts can be sent to any mobile device

How to use

The recommended method is to use Docker Compose (See below) For instructions how to install docker (server version) and docker compose see: https://docs.docker.com/engine/install/ https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/linux/#install-using-the-repository

Usage with docker-compose

mkdir /opt/domoticz
cd /opt/domoticz

Inside this folder create a file (docker-compose.yml) with the following contents

docker-compose.yml

services:
  domoticz:
    image: domoticz/domoticz:stable
    container_name: domoticz
    restart: unless-stopped
    # Pass devices to container
    # devices:
    #   - "/dev/serial/by-id/usb-0658_0200-if00-port0:/dev/ttyACM0"
    ports:
      - "8080:8080"
    volumes:
      - ./config:/opt/domoticz/userdata
      #- ./config/www/templates:/opt/domoticz/www/templates
    environment:
      - TZ=Europe/Amsterdam
      #- LOG_PATH=/opt/domoticz/userdata/domoticz.log

If you are using a serial device, uncomment the line above and replace with the correct serial device. (can be found by issuing ls -al /dev/serial/by-id)

Depending on your system, you can now launch the container by issuing:

docker compose up -d

or

docker-compose up -d

(Note the difference with/without the dash, this also applies for instructions below)

You can also specify a specific version to use with: image: domoticz/domoticz:beta (will pull latest beta version) image: domoticz/domoticz:stable (will pull latest stable version) image: domoticz/domoticz:2024.2 (will pull latest stable version 2024.2) image: domoticz/domoticz:2024-beta.12345 (will pull beta with build number 12345)

Environment values

ENV WWW_PORT=8080 - Specify default HTTP port
ENV SSL_PORT=443 - Specify default SSL port
ENV TZ=Europe/Amsterdam - Specify default timezone (see /usr/share/zoneinfo folder), only needed when you can not mount the volume /etc/localtime
EXTRA_CMD_ARG - Option to override additional command line parameters (See domoticz --help or wiki page)

You could use the extra_cmd_arg value to specify the SSL certificate

Usage with traditional docker (non-compose)

Pull image

docker pull domoticz/domoticz

You can also specify a specific version to use with: docker pull domoticz/domoticz:beta (will pull latest beta version) docker pull domoticz/domoticz:stable (will pull latest stable version) docker pull domoticz/domoticz:2024.2 (will pull latest stable version 2024.2) docker pull domoticz/domoticz:2024-beta.12345 (will pull beta with build number 12345)

Run container

docker run -d \
    -p 8080:8080 \
    -p 8443:443 \
    -v <path for config files>:/opt/domoticz/userdata \
    -e TZ=Europe/Amsterdam
    --device=<device_id> \
    --name=<container name> \ 
    domoticz/domoticz

Please replace all user variables in the above command defined by <> with the correct values (you can have several USB devices attached, just add other --device=<device_id>).

Custom Templates

If you want to use custom templates, remove the remark in the folder mapping as show below. (After you have started the container at least one time!!)

- ./config/www/templates:/opt/domoticz/www/templates

Custom startup script for the container

The container supports running a custom (bash) script before the domoticz process starts. This way, you can customize anything in the container that you need:

• install incremental apt packages (don't forget to apt update before you apt install)
• install incremental python functions (pip3 install)
• and so on/forth The container calls a script named customstart.sh in userdata, if that script exists. Please note that the script gets called on EVERY start of the container, not just at creation time. If you want the script to run only once, you need to build that in your script (e.g. test for a file you create in the script)

Python Plugins

When launching the docker container for the first time, a plugin folder is created in the userdata folder You need to place your python plugins is folder

Updating the image

From within the container folder issue:

docker compose pull && docker compose up --force-recreate --build -d && docker image prune -f

Access Domoticz

http://<host ip>:8080
*or*
https://<host ip>:8443

8080 can be another port (you change -p 8080:8080 to -p 8081:8080 to have 8081 out of the container for example).

Logging

Logging is disabled by default, and you can see the interna logs via the web gui. When you enable logging, keep in mind that the log file can become quite large. Do not leave this enabled when not needed.

Shell access whilst the container is running

docker exec -it domoticz 

Monitor the logs of the container

docker logs -f domoticz

Building the image

clone the github repository and issue the build.sh script (you might want to edit this file)
