Home Automator for RPi 3

Home Automator MQTT service for the RPi

Docker

Check out Installing Docker on the RPi for setting up Docker on the RPi.

Building the image

Clone the git repo on the RPi and build the image

cd && git clone https://github.com/BioBoost/home_automator_rpi.git
cd home_automator_rpi
docker build -t home_automator .

You can force a rebuild using the command below

docker build --no-cache -t home_automator .

Running the docker image

By passing the privileged we give the docker image access to GPIO and I2C

docker run -d --privileged --restart unless-stopped --name automator home_automator

Development with Docker-compose

To get a development build environment fire the docker container up as follows:

docker-compose run build /bin/bash

Now you get a bash shell to start building using make. Once finished and you wish to start the container normally:

docker-compose -d up
