hi folks, 1- the build of the docker container is made on alpine linux not on raspbian, to get the dt overlay parameters passed to it, they do have to be inserted in the Device configuration / Define DT overlays section of the device on the balena dashboard

2- for the gpio order in the parameters, the gpio-ir-tx has to be specified first (don't ask me why,i didn't check the reason) if not, you will get the reception working but NOT the transmit.

so while keeping the same parameters as per balena-ir-remote documentation, the commands to pass would look like that: "vc4-kms-v3d","gpio-ir-tx,gpio_pin=24","gpio-ir,gpio_pin=23"

hope this helps someone
