Enocean Binding USB 300 on Synology DSM 6.2 Docker OpenHab 3.0.1 DS716II

[eboelens (Erik Boelens)]

a lot of effort has been put into setting up openhab by means of the manuals
openhab within Docker part of the install packages of Synology
in combination of the installation guide of Docker USB sticks
done

[eboelens (Erik Boelens)]

after some testing I want to start over with a clean slate but:

1. installed Docker on DSM 6.2
2. installed Openhab 3.0.1 as container
3. created the volumes
4. Openhab runs
5. installed Enocean Binding
6. add The EnOcean gateway, unfortunately this does not work.
   I add the required path for the gateway = /dev/ttyUSB0

Solved.

You need to check “Execute container using high privilege” in the tab General settings in the UI of Docker?

and from the Documentation:

USB sticks

If you want use an USB stick (for example for Z-Wave network), then it will be not available for the dockerized system by default. In Docker openHAB is running in name of openhab, a restricted user. The stick will work if you run the following command right after docker image is started.

(in my case)

docker exec \
    -d \
    openhab-openhab1 \
    /bin/chmod o+rw /dev/ttyUSB0

when you start the container after a stop you need execute the command again

This command changes permissions of the specific device as expected (readable and writable for everyone).

Note

The device path (/dev/ttyACM0) or container name (openhab) could be different in your system, command can be modified accordingly.
