domoticz-docker

Dockerfile for domoticz. Starts a container that can be 'seeded' with an available (backup) database, if one is in the context directory. Opens a volume for the backups directory, so you can easily retreive any database backups.

Requirements

• Docker: https://www.docker.io/gettingstarted/#h_installation

Getting your files

• Docker file from github : git clone https://github.com/NanneHuiges/domoticz-docker.git
• [optional] add your database to this directory. it is called domoticz.db

Building

• cd domoticz-docker
• sudo docker build -t MyDomoticz .

Running

The basic command is this:

sudo docker run --device=/dev/ttyUSB0 -v /SOMEPATH/domoticz-docker/backups:/root/domoticz/backups -p 8084:8080 -d MyDomoticz

Explantion

• sudo docker run -d MyDomoticz : the basic run command
• --device=/dev/ttyUSB0 means we expose a device we need to the container.
• the old way to do this was to use -priviliged (which is deprecated and will become --priviliged), but this is a better option
• when using priviliged, use something like: sudo docker run -privileged -v /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb
• as you see you might need to play with the device name. ttyUSB0, /dev/bus/usb, /dev/bus/usb/00x/00y .. try using lsusb to find out your device
• -v /SOMEPATH/domoticz-docker/backups:/root/domoticz/backups mounts the 'backups' directory to the created volume.
• you have your backups in a save place: keep them with your dockerfile in a backup-device and you're all set to 'reinstall'
• -p 8084:8080 means that we expose the 8080 port to local 8084
• domoticz (and our docker install) run on port 8080, but if you have anything running on your machine, this could be an issue
• if you want to access using 8080, just use -p 8080:8080

Browsing

• You can now access your install on http://server_ip:8084
