February 9, 20251 yr Is it possible to pass through a USB device to a docker? I'm trying to pass a Kindle to the Calibre docker. Browsing around all I can find is passing the device using Extra Paramaters. --device=/dev/bus/usb/###/### I don't get errors in the docker set up, but see this in the logs. raceback (most recent call last): File "calibre/devices/usbms/device.py", line 561, in do_mount File "calibre/devices/udisks.py", line 139, in mount File "calibre/devices/udisks.py", line 44, in __enter__ File "jeepney/io/blocking.py", line 342, in open_dbus_connection File "jeepney/io/blocking.py", line 310, in prep_socket File "jeepney/io/blocking.py", line 307, in with_sock_deadline FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory Is this even possible? Any guidance?
February 9, 20251 yr Community Expert yes, but sometimes a mounted usb has other locations need to pass or doen't like being mounted then pluged in to another machine... ?what device are you passing to what docker? As the docker image may/will need additional packages etc to use the device... For example in my plex I pass a usb antenna coax tuner device. Extra parm --device=/dev/dvb/ (I could use the template and add device) You need to make sure your grabbing the correct device and all its sub devices: as example: Some devices may need extra parm options, if full bus pass is not working you may need to pass this and look into passing via its serial ID. --cap-add SYS_ADMIN Proff of concept: Docker Compose example: devices: - “/dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb” # Mount the entire USB bus devices: - “//./USB/VID_1248&PID_1001/5&271999B4&0&1” cap_add: - SYS_ADMIN Similar to sr-iov, some usb device don't support moving forward unless they are sent the system unbind command... you can list your current devcie with this command: ls /sys/bus/usb/devices/ example: ls /sys/bus/usb/devices/11-2/ echo '11-2' | sudo tee /sys/bus/usb/drivers/usb/unbind will touch my usb attached disk driver. then unmount the entire usb port, making it easer to mount and rebind elses where. You can get more info with command: udevadm info -q property -n /dev/bus/usb/$BUS/$DEV *replace Bus# and Dev# https://www.losant.com/blog/how-to-access-serial-devices-in-docker with unraid v7 we have access and can use udev rules... mkdir /boot/config/udev touch /boot/config/udev/99-serial.rules You can then make a udev rule that is applied at boot... Otherwise you need to list the serial id and pass it via the serial id: ls -l /dev/serial/by-id extra parm: --device=/dev/serial/by-id/######### as: /dev/serial/by-id/ is a directory that contains symbolic links to serial devices (like USB-to-serial converters) identified by their unique ID Usually on the forum, its peps trying to pass a Zigbee to a HA docker... examples:
