Run this in a container?

[Nornode]

Has anyone managed to run this in a container (e.g. custom baked Homeassitant / Node-red)?

I have been trying to get Bluetooth and pycalima working however I'm getting permission errors (probably not a pycalima issue) but thought if someone are already running this in a container it would save me many hours of troubleshooting.

I can't wait to get my fan into Home Assistant! Thanks!

Not much for containers, running a few for applications I want isolated. I think there's loads of resources on getting Bluetooth supported in containers of Hass. However, I don't myself. If anyone else wants to chime in please do so! This is useful and related information!

OK, thanks! I got it running in my self-baked node-red image that pulls your repo and makes it available inside the container.

Let me know if there's interest to publish this for the public.

This is the docker file I used to make the container
