Oficial Docker Container Topic is solved

[knireis]

Some questions about the domoticz docker:

How can I create my own docker after installing some extra packages like:
- apt update
- apt install curl
- apt install python
- apt install python-requests
- apt-get install sudo
- apt-get install openssh-server
All needed for getting my scripts working.

How can I check for updates of domoticz?
I now run version 2021.1 (build 13243), will there be a pop-up notifiying me when a new version is available? Or is that a complete new docker image?

You mean you want to install those packages in the docker container? I did it with a switch in domoticz which is toggled automatically (with a dzvents script) after domoticz startsup. Then the switch triggers another script which installs the necessary packages.

Yes, I installed those packages in the docker container. and I'm looking for an easy way to do these steps whenever a new domoticz docker is available.
Can you share both scripts?

Code: Select all

return
{
    on =
    {
        system =
        {
            'start',
        },
    },
    logging =
    {   
        level = domoticz.LOG_DEBUG,
        marker = 'start',
    },
    execute = function(dz)
        dz.devices('Linphone-S').switchOn().afterSec(20)
    end
}

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash

apt update && apt -y dist-upgrade

apt install -y <here your packages> 

exit

i think you can do it 2 ways

docker ps -a
docker commit [CONTAINER_ID] [new_image_name]

eg
docker commit a94eb9694608 domoticzname:13188

this will give you the new image name with all the apt-get changes you made

you can also save the current image to an external directory
eg
• docker save domoticz/domoticz:latest | gzip >/volume1/docker/images/domoticz13149-curl-nmap.tar.gz


i would never ever run an update from within the container
if the update fails or screws up things you do not have a working container anymore

always create a new version of the container by copying the settings and use the new image
this way you have a new container with a new version but still have the old container with the old version

Hi

Quick question ; how do you do a restart Domoticz when you’re running it via Docker.?

I can get to the command line via the following ..

Code: Select all

 docker exec -it domoticz-bridge /bin/bash

But the standard approach below does not work, as sudo is not found ..

Code: Select all

 sudo systemctl restart domoticz.service

[pvklink]

which image/docker did you use...

maybe not a direct answer to your question, but why not restart the docker? does not take that much time

Hello everyone,
sorry if the question has already been raised previously.

Would that be possible to keep the "old" Build of DZ Beta to be able to roll back to a previous docker beta version in case of bugs?
I know I can keep my own dz docker image... but I would feel safer if I can retreive any version.

There is a issue with this suggestion, create more docker images, with stable. and maybe with all the betas or one before the last.
coment in the issue will be interesting

Hi,
I want to instal a python plugin i have nu userdata directory were must i do it?
As you can see all my data is in another volume this is for resetting the raspberry pi i don't lose the data from the containers

i have this in my yml file:

# Domoticz
domoticz:
container_name: domoticz
image: domoticz/domoticz
ports:
- "8081:8080"
- "6144:6144"
- "1443:1443"
volumes:
- ./volumes/domoticz/data:/config
restart: unless-stopped
environment:
- PUID=1000
- PGID=1000
- TZ= Europe/Amsterdam
devices:
- /dev/ttyAMA0
- /dev/ttyS0
- /dev/ttyACM0
- /dev/ttyACM1
- /dev/ttyUSB0

[waltervl]

Volumes should be defined as:
volumes:
- <path to domoticz volume>:/opt/domoticz/userdata

eg
- ./volumes/domoticz/data:/opt/domoticz/userdata

[antonlamers]

Hi,
Thanks, yes i ssee now te plugin directory
can i remove this line?:
- ./volumes/domoticz/data:/config

That line was an example from IOTstack. https://github.com/SensorsIot/IOTstack

[antonlamers]

another question,
i want to add plugin manager or this 2 plugins: wled and deconz plugin's
how must i do this in the conrtainer?

[waltervl]

Hi,
Thanks, yes i ssee now te plugin directory
can i remove this line?:
- ./volumes/domoticz/data:/config

That line was an example from IOTstack. https://github.com/SensorsIot/IOTstack

Yes, delete that line as that refers to another (non official) domoticz docker image.

[waltervl]

I am not sure plugin manager is docker compatible.
You have to enter the docker image and do the installations from the command line within the Domoticz docker installation if extra Python modules are needed. If not you can also install them outside the docker in the <path to domoticz volume>/plugins. After a restart of Domoticz it should see the plugins.

Hello.
the docker container have this variable: EXRA_CMD_ARG

someone know what is this? what do?

[waltervl]

Hello.
the docker container have this variable: EXRA_CMD_ARG

someone know what is this? what do?

Here you can put extra Domoticz command line arguments https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Command_line_parameters

Thanks for the info.
I want to lauch a script first time the container runs, lile he init file in the Linuxserver dockers, i thinks this will be similar but not

Thanks

Hi,
Now must I set up the network in the compose file?
I have a domoticz container with MQTT port 1883 enabled and a mosquito container
Domoticz say error: MQTT: Connecting to 192.178.1.5:1883
2021-08-04 19:16:18.466 Error: MQTT Gateway: MQTT: Failed to start, return code: 14 (Check IP/Port)

I think that mosquito and domoticz each have another ip adres. The raspberry where the docker is running has 192.178.1.5

[JackD]

To check your Mosquito you can use the mqtt-explorer (http://mqtt-explorer.com/).
Great Windows tool to check your how your Mosquitto server is running.

If Mosquitto and Domoticz are on the same IP then sometimes entering "127.0.0.1"(local) in Domoticz as the IP of the Mosquitto MQTT server will do the trick.

And there are also a few option in the Mosquitto settings file(mosquitto.conf) you have to make, depending on how you set up your system.
