Docker/VM question

Recommended Posts

I am running Home Assistant (home automation software) in a docker container. Home Assistant supports Z-Wave networks via Z-Wave USB sticks. Z-Wave USB sticks expose themselves to the system via a USB to serial bridge.

 

I'm running into the problem that the unRaid Linux kernel does not include the USB to serial bridge driver (CP210x).

 

I can think of two solutions, but both are not ideal:

[*]Compile the module for the kernel myself (instructions)

[*]Run Home Assistant in a virtual machine

 

Is there an option that I am missing?

I think the vm solution is your best bet.  Maybe a light weight Linux vm.
