⁠How to use

To run it as a daemon in background, use:

docker run \
        --name homegear \
        -v /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro \
        -v /etc/timezone:/etc/timezone:ro \
        -v /docker/storage/homegear/homematicbidcos.conf:/etc/homegear/families/homematicbidcos.conf \
        -v /docker/storage/homegear/sql.db:/var/lib/homegear/db.sql \
        -p 2001:2001 -p 2002:2002 -p 2003:2003 \
        -d \
        --restart=always \
        virtualzone/homegear

Notes:

• /etc/homegear/families/homematicbidcos.conf is the configuration file for HomeMatic BidCoS devices. If you're using another interface, you may have to use another config file. Please refer to the Homegear documentation.
• /var/lib/homegear/db.sql is the location of the SQL database file.
• The -d option launches the container into the background. Use -it if you want to use the container interactively.
