Bluetooth dongle docker issues

I'm having big issues trying to pass through my bluetooth dongle to docker containers, I'm using homeassistant and it spits a nice error for me:

Error setting up platform bluetooth_tracker
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/src/app/homeassistant/components/device_tracker/__init__.py", line 183, in async_setup_platform
    disc_info)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.6/concurrent/futures/thread.py", line 56, in run
    result = self.fn(*self.args, **self.kwargs)
  File "/usr/src/app/homeassistant/components/device_tracker/bluetooth_tracker.py", line 72, in setup_scanner
    for dev in discover_devices():

    lookup_class=False)
  File "/config/deps/lib/python3.6/site-packages/bluetooth/bluez.py", line 26, in discover_devices
    device_id = _bt.hci_get_route()
OSError: [Errno 97] Address family not supported by protocol

 

I have --net=host as a an extra parameter which I understand should just pass through all usb devices. 

 

Does anyone have suggestions on how I could test whether or not the dongle is actually being passed to all dockers or not?

 

Thanks

After a bit more digging I've done the following:


root@Sven:~# lsusb
Bus 003 Device 010: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)

added 

--device=/dev/bus/usb/003/010

to my extra parameters, no change.

 

From within the docker container

root@Sven:/usr/src/app# bluetoothd -n
bluetoothd[133]: Bluetooth daemon 5.43
D-Bus setup failed: Failed to connect to socket /var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket: No such file or directory
bluetoothd[133]: Unable to get on D-Bus

Not sure what that means

root@Sven:/usr/src/app# lsmod | grep bt
ebtable_filter         16384  0
ebtables               32768  1 ebtable_filter

This shows there is a lack of BT devices?

 

root@Sven:/usr/src/app# hcitool scan
Device is not available: Address family not supported by protocol

Unraid does not have the drivers for BT dongles. See below

PS: i saw you posted there already. Just making more people aware of the problem by posting a followup here as well.

I got the same problem with a VM running home assistant (hassio). Can't figure out if its a unraid or hassio problem. If its a VM with the dongle passed trough, it should not matter if unraid has drivers?
I also tried the current beta of unraid.

Any ideas?
