The LinuxServer.io team brings you another container release featuring easy user mapping and community support. Find us for support at:

• forum.linuxserver.io
• IRC on freenode at #linuxserver.io
• Podcast covers everything to do with getting the most from your Linux Server plus a focus on all things Docker and containerisation!

Domoticz is a Home Automation System that lets you monitor and configure various devices like: Lights, Switches, various sensors/meters like Temperature, Rain, Wind, UV, Electra, Gas, Water and much more. Notifications/Alerts can be sent to any mobile device

docker create \
  --name=domoticz \
  --net=bridge \
  -v <path to data>:/config \
  -e PGID=<gid> -e PUID=<uid>  \
  -e TZ=<timezone> \
  -p 1443:1443 \
  -p 6144:6144 \
  -p 8080:8080 \
  --device=<path to device> \
  linuxserver/domoticz

You can choose between using tags, latest (default, and no tag required), or a specific stable version of domoticz.

Add one of the tags, if required, to the linuxserver/domoticz line of the run/create command in the following format, linuxserver/domoticz:stable-3.5877

• stable-3.5877 : latest stable version.

The parameters are split into two halves, separated by a colon, the left hand side representing the host and the right the container side. For example with a port -p external:internal - what this shows is the port mapping from internal to external of the container. So -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 http://192.168.x.x:8080 would show you what's running INSIDE the container on port 80.

• -p 1443 - the port(s)
• -p 6144 - the port(s)
• -p 8080 - the port(s)
• -v /config - location for the config files
• -e PGID for GroupID - see below for explanation
• -e PUID for UserID - see below for explanation
• --device - for passing through USB devices
• -e TZ - for timezone information eg Europe/London, etc

It is based on alpine linux with s6 overlay, for shell access whilst the container is running do docker exec -it domoticz /bin/bash.

To get full use of Domoticz, you probably have a USB device you want to pass through. To figure out which device to pass through, you have to connect the device and look in dmesg for the device node created. Issue the command 'dmesg | tail' after you connected your device and you should see something like below.

usb 1-1.2: new full-speed USB device number 7 using ehci-pci
ftdi_sio 1-1.2:1.0: FTDI USB Serial Device converter detected
usb 1-1.2: Detected FT232RL
usb 1-1.2: FTDI USB Serial Device converter now attached to ttyUSB0

As you can see above, the device node created is ttyUSB0. It does not say where, but it's almost always in /dev/. The correct tag for passing through this USB device is '--device=/dev/ttyUSB0'

Sometimes when using data volumes (-v flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container. We avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID. Ensure the data volume directory on the host is owned by the same user you specify and it will "just work" ™.

In this instance PUID=1001 and PGID=1001. To find yours use id user as below:

  $ id <dockeruser>
    uid=1001(dockeruser) gid=1001(dockergroup) groups=1001(dockergroup)

To configure Domoticz, go to the IP of your docker host on the port you configured (default 8080), and add your hardware in Setup > Hardware. The user manual is available at www.domoticz.com

• Shell access whilst the container is running: docker exec -it domoticz /bin/bash

• To monitor the logs of the container in realtime: docker logs -f domoticz

• container version number

docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' domoticz

• image version number

docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' linuxserver/domoticz
