Docker Script/ Container

[chrisgla]

Seen multiple threads about Z-Way on Docker and there are multiple containers, but can't see any that have all the persistence links clear or a build script.

Does anyone have a build script or recent container (x86) with persistence?

[PerH]

I'm learning Docker right now, and want to learn how to make an image. If someone could tell me which folders needs to be persistent, i could try an make one? Thinking of an ubuntu docker with 3.1.3.

EDIT: got the solution from @poltos. this image works fine, and is published on dockerhub.

So, I made the docker, but i'm struggling with transferring my system to it.

I tried to copy the /config/ folder to the docker volume, but that doesn't contain info about logon details or room configuration. Can someone help me with getting all necessary info in to run it in the docker?

dockerfile:

should be

Do you think it is worth to make a deb package with Docker? How would you like to see this if we integrate it?

[SweetGenius]

I would love to see a downloadable Docker Image compatible with Docker running on Synology NAS or complete instructions with a docker run command or different versions of docker compose file.
Thanks

Sorry, haven't looked into this forum in a while. (which means z-way works well! )

you are offcourse right about zddx, and i did fix it in my own files.. its just replacing the "l" with an "x" in the files.

I have all my automation components in docker now, and i find it so much easier to maintain! A lot of the HA SW providers are offering official dockers now, so i think taht would be a great addition for z-way.

The one i have works great now, but mabye an alpine build would be better? Mainly thinking of image size, which is fairly large with ubuntu, and size matters on some more bare-bone platforms.

adding my updated dockerfile and compose, as i've added timezone bind. I also changed to docker-compose version 3.7 in hope that the synology users can use it:

@PoltoS: Is information about plugins and settings stored elsewhere than the folders i've set to be persistent in the docker?

@SweetGenious here has some issues with the RemoteAccess app, and it works a bit differently in the docker for some reason..

And it seems like time-zone changes are not working inside the docker. Does Z-way just run a root command to change it? If so, there might be some permission issues to handle in my docker..

[sofakng]

I'm also wondering about this.

What folder(s) does Z-Way store it's persistent data/configuration data?

Are the two folders mentioned above the only two?

/opt/z-way-server/config/zddx
/opt/z-way-server/automation/storage

[PoltoS]

/opt/z-way-server/config/zddx
/opt/z-way-server/automation/storage

Correct.

But there are few more folders with downloaded content: /opt/z-way-server/automation/userModules and /opt/z-way-server/htdocs/smarthome/user/
