How to run HAP-NodeJS inside Docker container about hap-nodejs HOT 5 CLOSED

I believe you need to run it (docker container) in the host mode.

It might be able to have a look at the official homebridge docker image as an inspiration https://github.com/oznu/docker-homebridge.

The primary problem, most likely, is to make sure that the mDNS advertisements reach the „outside“ of the container. That’s the reason to use the container in host mode as of right now.

Thanks for the replies!

In my docker-compose file I added network_mode: host and removed any other network, ports and expose entries.

To access the container from another service, this might help https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24319662/from-inside-of-a-docker-container-how-do-i-connect-to-the-localhost-of-the-mach

extra_hosts:
      - "host.docker.internal:host-gateway"

and access via host.docker.internal:<port>

Could you share how your dockerfile or docker-compose turned out, please?

I'm facing the same problem.
