FIXED: Docker: How to pass USB?

[flatline69]

I've been googling around and only see this in relation to virtual machines but how do I pass USB devices to containers? I have a serial port device I would normally pass in docker-compose as "devices" in compose yaml. I only see GPU as a resource in the guided compose.

 

[flatline69]

Fixed via Truecharts which allows me to expose the serial port (app zwavejs2mqtt)

edit: Was able to get my previous container working by running in host networking + privileged. Not ideal but allowed me to retain existing configuration and not have to reset my z-wave setup.

Hello,

Can you tell me what do you put in the app to select an usb port please?

Thank you for your answer but I didn't find USB path in your configuration.

What is your "Host device path" please?

I try to find the host mounted path but it doesn't exist.
I insert a USB key and I enter the command "lsblk" but the mounted point is empty:

There is no mounted point.

I used Truechart pre-built package to resolve it.

wanted to bump this topic to see if anyone else has figured out how to do this using the Docker "blue button"?

Seems to me if you want USB devices in the container, you can look at step 8 in the Docker Wizard:

It depends on what your use-case is... if you just want a quick and easy way to make it work, that checkbox would be it.

If you're more about a fully secured operational environment and/or it's not for home/personal/lab use, then look further into helm.

 

[shimian5]

That's how I did it for now. I figured for home use it's fine, but was curious if there was a more secure way to do it. All in all, it works fine though.
