Running Exec binding scripts in Docker using custom image

Tutorials & Examples

With the container init scripts support, a custom image is no longer needed for this use case. Here is the updated setup I am now using:

cont-init.d/50-exec-scripts

#!/usr/bin/with-contenv bash

# Include openhab scripts folder in path
export PATH=${OPENHAB_CONF}/scripts:${PATH}

# Install additional packages
apt-get -qq update && \
  DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get -qq install --no-install-recommends -y \
  curl \
  jq \
  python \
  python-pip \
  python-setuptools \
  python-wheel

# Install python required packages
pip install -q --no-cache-dir \
  <required_pkg_1> \
  <required_pkg_2> \
  ...

docker-compose.yml

version: '3'

services:
  openhab:
    image: openhab/openhab:snapshot
    container_name: openhab
    restart: always
    network_mode: host
    tty: true
    volumes:
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
      - /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro
      - ./addons:/openhab/addons
      - ./conf:/openhab/conf
      - ./cont-init.d:/etc/cont-init.d
      - ./userdata:/openhab/userdata
    environment:
      OPENHAB_HTTP_PORT: 8080
      OPENHAB_HTTPS_PORT: 8443
      USER_ID: 9001
      GROUP_ID: 9001

Commands
