domoticz-docker's Introduction

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
