Please add avahi-daemon to the base container. #4

Closed scyto closed 5 years ago

Required for airplay and chromecast plugins. I can see other plugins wanting zeroconf along the way too.

this is what i did to get it working in a runnig container (i connected using bash process my synology docker UI can spawn)

apt-get install avahi-daemon service dbus start service avahi-daemon start

i have no idea what you would change in your startup script (i am really not a linux person - i poke and hope)

I will look into this...

I've just pushed the avahi branch to this repo and the avahi tag of the image is now building on Docker Hub (i.e. marthoc/homeseer:avahi). It's a drop-in replacement for the latest tag (meaning you can run it with the same command-line parameters) but runs avahi-daemon and dbus inside the container in addition to HomeSeer.

Please test and let me know if it's working for you.

As a heads-up, if the image including avahi is working with the plugins that need it, I think I’m going to take your suggested approach and make one image that disables avahi by default but makes it enableable with an environment variable. No real point in having two separate images when including avahi only adds about 30mb.

I tested the image last night, yes seems to be good.

Only issue was i normally use the 'clear' option in the synology UI, this recreates containers from original params - only works if the image name hasn't changed between versions. As such having one image defintely helps people who are less command line inclined. I am happy with whatever call you make, but was pleased with mu results using the env var - i literally had to google every item to figure it out :-)
