Using plugin in Docker (OZNU Homebridge) #50

Open harryslapalot opened 1 year ago

harryslapalot commented 1 year ago

I would like to use your plugin in my homebridge environment since it delivers exactly what I have been looking for for a long time. Unfortunately, I run homebridge in a docker container which seems to make it a bit more complicated. I already read a lot and added

apt-get update apt-get install -y chromium-browser

to startup.sh chromium-browser obviously got installed.

When I start the camera feed in homekit, I get this error in the homebridge log:

Any ideas how I can get chromium installed correctly? I tried putting "snap install chromium" in shartup.sh, that didn't work.

werthdavid commented 1 year ago

I guess the Docker base image uses ubuntu? Well, so the message clearly indicates that the installation should happen via snap. Is there any error when you run the snap install?

harryslapalot commented 1 year ago

No, there's no error in the log. But from what I've read I understand that snap is not supported with Ubuntu in Docker. I am now trying a different route. There's a chromium beta available without snap, but I didn't yet succeed installing it since add-apt-repository is not part of the OZNU homebridge docker file. I will let you know if I succeed. If you or anyone else has another idea I would very much appreciate it!

After consulting google for a while it could be an option to port-forward 9222 if it is an option to run chromium somewhere outside the homebridge container. Not sure if it really works though

harryslapalot commented 1 year ago

Ok. I really don't know how to setup a port forwarding from inside the container to another target. Only option would be to run a separate container in docker with chromium on it.
