Docker Image / 2min setup

[Pierozi]

If some of you don't want loose time to find right python version and so on.

1. Need docker installed
2. Need Bluetooth device ( mine is USB key )
3. Clone this repository ( mart1nro/joycontrol ) and move your terminal on this root folder
4. Run the docker image

   docker run -ti --privileged --net=host --volume $(pwd):/joycontrol pierozi57/python-ble:latest

5. Start DBUS

   service dbus start

6. Start Bluetoothd without input (https://github.com/mart1nro/joycontrol/issues/8)

   bluetoothd --noplugin=input > /var/log/bluetoothd.log 2>&1 &disown

7. Launch Joycontrol

   python ./run_controller_cli.py PRO_CONTROLLER

8. Do whatever you have to do

If I use docker to run on mac, I will get an error: Address family not supported by protocol， What device are you running docker on?

[Pierozi]

It must be because you already have bluetoothd running on your OSX, and it will be tricky to kill as it restarts automatically.

I have the same issue on Mac, I have no time to research it, but it seems incompatible

You might be able to stop bluetoothd on Mac with:

sudo launchctl stop com.apple.bluetoothd
