Ubuntu 18.04 Docker USB Passthrough to Docker Containers has Ownership root:root instead of root:dialout

I’m running Ubuntu 18.04 as a vm. I installed docker using the docker ce install guide, so it should be using the latest version of docker with their ppa. I can provide docker versions once I’m home.

I’m trying to passthrough a Serial port or a USB to Serial to my container.

I was able to use both types of ports on my Ubuntu 18.04 vm and successfully connect to COM ports on my Cisco devices using minicom. In my docker container I installed usbutils so I could run lsusb. I see the USB serial adaptor in the container, but I’m not sure what COM port it’s using.

I’m needing to use this for the cm11a x10 module.

@rlkoshak what parameters did you use to great your docker container?

I can post mine when I get home.
