Dockerized version of RFLinkGateway by dmartinpro/RFLinkGateway

Firstly to be able to run the RFLinkGateway as a docker instance, but also to make it easier to scale up, it you have several RFLink Gateways

Dockerfile
requirements.txt

Is for the actual build of the docker image. But it is awailable for download here from DockerHub.

Example of a docker build command

docker build -t "magpern/rflinkgateway" .

the file

config.json

is not really used. It is an example of a config file from dmartinpro/RFLinkGateway, slightly modified for this docker image. The config file wants a docker container with the name mqtt that hosts the mqtt broker and the username and password for the mqtt broker is myuser:secretpassword Of course, you need to change this config for your own usage.

Let's assume you've cloned repo to /home/pi/. Now you need to run your container with config and log mapped to your host filesystem and the USB port as well.

docker run -d --name=rflinkgateway -v /home/pi/RFLinkGatewayDocker:/config -v /home/pi//RFLinkGatewayDocker:/log -v /dev/ttyACM0:/dev/ttyACM0 --privileged magpern/rflinkgateway

docker-compose.yml

The docker-compose file is an example of how a multi docker setup could look. The docker-compose file sets up a mosquitto container and a RFLinkGateway container and links them together. For set up of the Mosquitto Broker, please see the Mosquitto Docker information here https://hub.docker.com/_/eclipse-mosquitto

Build the docker containers with

docker-compose up -d

If you already have a MQTT Broker. Modify the config.json for RFLinkGateway to point to your MQTT Broker.
