Usage

Here are some example to help you get started creating a container.

docker

docker create \
  --name=domoticz \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TZ=Europe/Stockholm \
  -e WEBROOT=domoticz `#optional` \
  -p 8008:80 \
  -p 6144:6144 \
  -p 1443:443 \
  -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime \
  -v path to db:/opt/domoticz/db \
  -v path to scripts:/opt/domoticz/scripts \
  -v path to backups:/opt/domoticz/backups \
  -v path to plugins:/opt/domoticz/plugins \
  --device path to device:path to device \
  --restart unless-stopped \
  fixdata/dockermoticz

Passing Through USB Devices

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:/dev/ttyUSB0'

docker-compose

Compatible with docker-compose v2 schemas.

Parameters

Container images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate external:internal respectively. For example, -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 outside the container.

Parameter	Function
-p 8008	Web-GUI
-p 6144	Domoticz communication port.
-p 1443	Domoticz communication port.
-e PUID=1000	for UserID - see below for explanation
-e PGID=1000	for GroupID - see below for explanation
-e TZ=Europe/Stckholm	Specify a timezone to use EG Europe/London.
-e WEBROOT=domoticz	Sets webroot to domoticz for usage with subfolder reverse proxy. Not needed unless reverse proxying.
-v /etc/localtime	Local time.
-v /opt/domoticz/db	Where Domoticz stores config files and data.
-v /opt/domoticz/scripts	Where Domoticz stores config script files.
-v /opt/domoticz/backups	Where Domoticz stores backup files.
-v /opt/domoticz/plugins	Where Domoticz stores plugin files.
--device	For passing through USB devices. One or more

User / Group Identifiers

When using 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 any volume directories on the host are owned by the same user you specify and any permissions issues will vanish like magic.

In this instance PUID=1000 and PGID=1000, to find yours use id user as below:

  $ id username
    uid=1000(dockeruser) gid=1000(dockergroup) groups=1000(dockergroup)

Application Setup

To configure Domoticz, go to the IP of your docker host on the port you configured (default 8008), and add your hardware in Setup > Hardware. The user manual is available at www.domoticz.com

Updating Info

Via Docker Run/Create

Update the image: docker pull fixdata/dockermoticz Stop the running container: docker stop domoticz Delete the container: docker rm domoticz Recreate a new container with the same docker create parameters as instructed above (if mapped correctly to a host folder, your /config folder and settings will be preserved) Start the new container: docker start domoticz You can also remove the old dangling images: docker image prune

Via Docker Compose

Update all images: docker-compose pull or update a single image: docker-compose pull domoticz Let compose update all containers as necessary: docker-compose up -d or update a single container: docker-compose up -d domoticz You can also remove the old dangling images: docker image prune

You can also remove the old dangling images: docker image prune
