dsmr-reader-docker

A docker-compose file in order to start the following application in Docker:
dsmr-reader (https://github.com/dennissiemensma/dsmr-reader)

The Docker image can be found in the following link: https://hub.docker.com/r/ualex73/dsmr-reader-docker/

Also it starts a PostgreSQL container for the application to store it's data.

You should first add the user you run Docker with on your host file system to the dialout group: sudo usermod -aG dialout $(whoami)

After starting the containers with docker-compose, the dashboard is reachable at:
http://\:8888

After starting the containers, don't forget to modify the default DSMR version (default is DSMR v4):
http://\:8888/admin/dsmr_datalogger/dataloggersettings/

dsmrdb in docker-compose is configured to use a docker volume. So when the application and docker containter have been removed, the postgres data still persists.

Also you could easily create a backup:

• docker-compose stop dsmr
• docker exec -t dsmrdb pgdumpall -c -U dsmrreader > /tmp/dumpdate +%d-%m-%Y""%H%M%S.sql
• docker-compose start dsmr

Or drop the database and restore a backup:

• docker-compose stop dsmr
• docker exec -t dsmrdb dropdb dsmrreader -U dsmrreader
• docker exec -t dsmrdb createdb -O dsmrreader dsmrreader -U dsmrreader
• cat /tmp/.sql | docker exec -i dsmrdb psql -U dsmrreader
• docker-compose start dsmr

The current configuration has been tested on Ubuntu 16.04 and 18.04

For Synology users:

• Drivers are necessary: http://jadahl.dscloud.me/drivers.html
• The docker-compose file must be set to version 2 instead of 3.
