Launch on Boot

[markolbert]

Apologies for what may well be a docker question rather than a zwavej22mqtt question...

I am running HomeAssistant in a docker container. It launches on boot (Raspberry Pi 4, latest 64 bit Raspbian).

However, I have not been able to figure out how to get zwavejs2mqtt to launch on boot as well. I have to do a docker run for it.

I tried adapting the default docker script (using local folder persistence) to match how HomeAssistant was set up for its container:

sudo docker run -d \
    --name zwavejs \
    -p 8091:8091 \
    -p 3000:3000 \
    --device=/dev/serial/by-id/usb-Silicon_Labs_CP2102N_USB_to_UART_Bridge_Controller_22bb70947894eb11b4af39703d98b6d1-if00-port0:/dev/zwave \
    -v /zwavejs/store:/usr/src/app/store \
    zwavejs/zwavejs2mqtt:latest

However, this didn't work -- zwavejs2mqtt does not launch on reboot.

Any tips or leads would be appreciated.

Apparently I didn't initially properly duplicate the HomeAssistant container configuration. The following works, and launches on reboot:

docker run -d \
    --name zwavejs \
    --restart=unless-stopped \
    -p 8091:8091 \
    -p 3000:3000 \
    --device=/dev/serial/by-id/usb-Silicon_Labs_CP2102N_USB_to_UART_Bridge_Controller_22bb70947894eb11b4af39703d98b6d1-if00-port0:/dev/zwave \
    -v /zwavejs/store:/usr/src/app/store \
    zwavejs/zwavejs2mqtt:latest

I thought the --restart option only affected what docker does if the container crashes while running. But apparently it also defines what to do on boot.

I usually prefer to use docker-compose for this 😊
