Re: Docker Script/ Container

Post by iotgregg »

Hi
I'm very much a docker noob so I tried to start my image from the example posted above and changed the zway server to download the raspberrypi version of the zway server. However I not able to get the image to build. Any help would be appreciated. I have been looking for a current docker image for the zway server but this seems to be the most recent image I could find.

The error I am seeing is:

Hi!
Would you like to use docker on a raspberry pi?
Try this docker file: https://github.com/Z-Wave-Me/docker-z-way-raspberry-pi
I ran this Dockerfile on raspberry pi.
If you want to use docker with ubuntu: https://github.com/Z-Wave-Me/docker-z-way-ubuntu
Tell me how you would like to configure docker, what functions you need and I will help you

Hi Tnemele!

Stumbled onto that dockerfile as well and was able to build the image on my windows machine. Then push it my docker repo but it failed to install on my Pi not being to correctly locate the start.sh file based on the error message I saw. Was only able to build the image after removing the app-get and update commands so I may be missing things.

This is the Dockerfile I was able to build but did not succeed in installing:

Code: Select all

FROM balenalib/rpi-raspbian

WORKDIR /opt/z-way-server

RUN wget -q -O - https://storage.z-wave.me/RaspbianInstall |bash
COPY start.sh .
RUN chmod a+x start.sh

EXPOSE 8083

CMD /opt/z-way-server/start.sh
What I am looking in a dockerfile is:
  1. Be able to build the image on a windows 10 machine
  2. Run n a Raspberry Pi 3 running Raspian Lite
  3. Be able to select the version of zway server
  4. Have the container autorestart
  5. Be able to access the config files of the Zway sever in persistent volume(s)
Thank you for any help or advice!

@poltos:

I have an issue with the z-way container filling op disk space over time, and I have restricted "logging" in my docker to 2x5 mb. Any clue to what's filling space? I see that the communication logs are quite extensive, could that be whats accumulating?

As to the guys above, i'd recommend using existing containers and docker-compose to to start with, if you're new to docker.
Making new containers (dockerfile) is a bit more difficult, and requires a bit more understanding about docker.

That being said, it's great if more people contribute to make good docker images, so go for it! :)

Looks like logrotate is missing in the docker script

You need to add logrotate to the https://github.com/Z-Wave-Me/docker-z-way-raspberry-pi

We will do that soon

I like my docker-compose images to have a volume for the persistant data so I can just re-create the container from scratch but keep my configuration intact.

For a mariadb container I have this row:
volumes:
- ${PWD}/mariadb:/var/lib/mysql

So for us we could do something like this:
- ${PWD}/config/dir1:/foo/bar
- ${PWD}/config/dir2:/foo/baz
...
and for logs I prefer them on the host for easy access, something like this:
- ${PWD}/log/z-way-server.log:/var/log/z-way-server.log

If you do like this you can just make the logrotate on the host instead :)

If you otherwise want the logrotate to work in the container you need to do something like this in a post-install script after the container has been created, you can see how it is setup when the arch-aur package is built:
https://github.com/saez0pub/archlinux-zway

PS. It's not required but quite nice to share the Dockerfile of the image you have uploaded to dockerhub so people can see how it is built and/or even improve it by sending you a PR

Cool, it looks neat, I failed to get it working though, I have created an issue on the github page.
