Add a device without recreating the container?

[barakhub]

Ask a Question!

TL;DR: I want to add a mapping for a new USB device in my container. If use 'Duplicate/Edit' and add a device, I have to deploy the container, which practically erases everything in it and starts from fresh (with the added device). Is there a way just to add the new device without clearing everything?

More info: I have a Home Assistant docker running under Portainer. I need to add mapping for /dev/ttyUSB0 to support a new Zigbee USB dongle (SkyConnect), but if I do that, I'll wipe out my HA configuration.

Even more, once everything is setup, I'd like to remove my old Zigbee dongle, so I'll have to remove an existing device mapping - /dev/ttyACM0, and then everything will be cleared once again.

For a "simple" thing like adding a device mapping (or a volume), isn't there a way to just restart the container with a different configuration?
