I have a feeling that on mac docker containers are run inside a linux vm. Or there will be some other translation layer going on as docker is a linux only thing. So maybe it will work if you can get the usb devices passed through into that docker vm/whatever, but in doing so they may no longer be available to macos.
A while back I tried to make a node application which used usb to work in docker (only considering being run on a linux machine), and gave up trying to get that working as there were many problems to workaround with doing usb in docker
@iKK001 Please update this issue with your workaround and cross-link your forum post: https://github.com/MadLittleMods/node-usb-detection/issues/123#issuecomment-1365276924
Any idea why this library does not work when executed inside a balenaOS docker container ?
I am not sure whether it is the library or whether it is the combination within the docker service.
Fact is that
lsusb
cmd works when logged into the running docker image. Also/dev
shows the USB-device correctly asttyUSB0
when observing in a terminal inside the running docker image. So theusb-detection
library does not recognize this for some reason.Everything works when locally running my code on a Mac. I can detect plugging a USB-device and the
usb-detection
library gives me the callback:I do
ENV UDEV=1
in my Dockerfile and addpriviledge: true
to the service in docker-compose.yml file. But it does not seem to work.Any idea why ??
