Docker image based on Debian Stretch for running the Mozilla IoT Gateway.

While the gateway doesn't necessarily require full local network access, some add-ons may. Therefore, it is best to run with the --net=host flag. Currently, this flag will not work when using Docker for Mac or Docker for Windows due to this and this.

• On Linux:

  docker run \
      -d \
      --rm \
      -v /path/to/shared/data:/home/node/.mozilla-iot \
      --net=host \
      --name mozilla-iot-gateway \
      mozillaiot/gateway:latest

• On Windows or macOS:

  docker run \
      -d \
      --rm \
      -p 8080:8080 \
      -p 4443:4443 \
      -v /path/to/shared/data:/home/node/.mozilla-iot \
      --name mozilla-iot-gateway \
      mozillaiot/gateway:latest

Tested on Raspberry Pi 3 Model B/B+:

docker run \
    -d \
    --rm \
    -v /path/to/shared/data:/home/node/.mozilla-iot \
    --net=host \
    --name mozilla-iot-gateway \
    mozillaiot/gateway:arm

• -d - Run in daemon mode (in the background)
• --rm - Remove the container after it stops
• -v /path/to/shared/data:/home/node/.mozilla-iot - Change /path/to/shared/data to some local path. It will be used to store the "user profile", i.e. add-ons, logs, configuration data, etc.
• --net=host - Shares host networking with containeri (highly recommended)
• -p 8080:8080 / -p 4443:4443 - Forward necessary ports to the container
• --name mozilla-iot-gateway - Name of the container

After running the container, you can connect to it at: http://<host-ip-address>:8080

If you'd like to build an image yourself, run the following:

git clone https://github.com/mozilla-iot/gateway-docker
cd gateway-docker
docker build -t gateway .
docker run \
    -d \
    --rm \
    -v /path/to/shared/data:/home/node/.mozilla-iot \
    --net=host \
    --name mozilla-iot-gateway \
    gateway
