bluetooth in docker for windows host - windows

My docker version is:
docker --version
Docker version 20.10.2, build 2291f61
My windows version is:
systeminfo
Nom du système d’exploitation: Microsoft Windows 10 Professionnel
Version du système: 10.0.17763 N/A version 17763
Type du système: x64-based PC
My Dockerfile is:
FROM ubuntu:21.04
RUN apt update
RUN apt-get install -y bluez bluetooth usbutils
When I run the following command, I start the 'bluetooth_in_docker' container:
docker build -t bluetooth_in_docker . & docker run --privileged --net=host -it bluetooth_in_docker bash
Inside the container when I run the following, I get an error:
hciconfig dev
Can't open HCI socket.: Address family not supported by protocol

I got it working on Windows from inside WSL2, but it takes a lot of steps.
Follow https://github.com/dorssel/usbipd-win/discussions/310 to get
your bluetooth working inside WSL2. Verify that you can scan for
bluetooth devices inside your WSL2 distro.
modify your dockerfile to install bluetooth as you did (bluez and usb-utils might not be needed)
Now there are 2 options. First option shares bluetooth with container. Second option gives container exclusive control.
Sharing bluetooth between the host and the container is possible by making a volume mount of /var/run/dbus and running it with --privileged:
docker run -v /var/run/dbus/:/var/run/dbus/:z --privileged {containerImage}
Make sure that the dbus and bluetooth services are working in your host when running the container this way.
Giving the container exclusive control: in WSL2 (the host), run a docker container according to https://stackoverflow.com/a/64126744/1114918
run sudo service bluetooth stop to make your bluetooth not "claimed" by the host (the linked answer uses killall, I think sudo service ... stop is cleaner)
use a sh script to start dbus and bluetooth inside the container
run the container using
docker run --rm --net=host --privileged myimage:mytag

Acces Windows COM port from docker(linux container)

I need to have acces to windows com port(COM3) form docker linux contianer:
I tried like this:
docker run -d --name test_com_port -p 8090:80 --device=/dev/ttyACM14 --restart always test_com_port
docker run -d --name test_com_port -p 8090:80 –-device=COM3:/dev/ttyS2
--restart always test_com_port
docker run -d --name test_com_port -p 8090:80 –-device=//./COM3:/dev/ttyS2
--restart always test_com_port
but don't have any results. Also I visited microsoft tutorial but it is only for windows containers. Maybe some one have any solutions how to solve it?
hey there I was successfully able to map a windows serial device to a docker container, it was a long and tedious task but in the end I was successful. Any who has access to windows 10 with support for WSL 2 can follow these steps:
1.) Install WSL 2 with Ubuntu distro as it's easier to work with.
2.) On the windows host machine install this software called usbipd through command winget install usbipd for more information use this link
3.)Now we have to configure a few things in the Ubuntu distro so that the interfacing happens for that you will have to follow this link
4.)Once that is done you can now mount the device, before we start the mounting process make sure to plug-in the device to the windows host
5.)Before mounting you can check the list of available devices with usbipd wsl list. You will be able to see all the serial devices connected and now you can
interface or mount or attach using the command usbipd wsl attach --busid=<BUSID>
6.)Once the device is attached you can open the wsl Ububtu use the command lsusb to check all available serial devices which communicate over USB.
7.)Now the final step is to mount the device to docker container with command --device /dev/<available port>; ex doecker run -d --device=/dev/<available ports from liunx ubuntu distro> <container>

Playing sound in Docker container on WSL in Windows 11

Newer versions of Windows (build 21364 or later) enable GUI support in WSL2, including full audio support. This is pretty amazing.
Given that WSL2 now supports audio, how do we then get audio to work inside a Docker container running on Windows, using Docker's WSL2 engine?
On a Linux host, you can simply invoke a Docker image with e.g --device /dev/snd.
What is the equivalent command to run a sound-enabled Docker image from the Windows command line?
There is no /dev/snd or direct audio hardware emulation available in WSL, even in the new Windows 11 setup. Instead, the newest release of WSL achieves audio output by pointing PulseAudio clients to an external PulseAudio server via a socket in /mnt/wslg/. This server runs on yet another Linux distro calleed WSLg that runs inside Windows for the sole purpose of plumbing audio and graphical data between your WSL distro and Windows.
It looks a bit like this:
Docker container <-> WSL <-> WSLg <-> Windows 11
The actual PulseAudio server is located in WSLg. The location of the socket is stored in the environment variable PULSE_SERVER:
# On WSL
echo $PULSE_SERVER
/mnt/wslg/PulseServer
So, aside from making sure your Dockerfile has a basic PulseAudio installation (RUN apt-get install -y pulseaudio or equivalent), all you need to do is invoke the image like:
In WSL:
docker run -t -i -e "PULSE_SERVER=${PULSE_SERVER}" -v /mnt/wslg/:/mnt/wslg/ image_name
Or from the Windows command line like:
wsl docker run -t -i -e "PULSE_SERVER=/mnt/wslg/PulseServer" -v /mnt/wslg/:/mnt/wslg/ image_name
Or
docker run -t -i -e "PULSE_SERVER=/mnt/wslg/PulseServer" -v \\wsl$\Ubuntu\mnt\wslg:/mnt/wslg/ image_name

Why is the Docker service stopping?

I'm running Ubuntu as a subsystem on Windows 10.
I have just followed the steps to install Docker on Linux:
https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-ce/ubuntu/
And are now at the step to test the hello-world app:
$ sudo docker run hello-world
Where I get this error:
docker: Cannot connect to the Docker daemon at unix:///var/run/docker.sock. Is the docker daemon running?.
I have narrowed it down to that it actually is the service that is not running - despite lots of other solutions online that more or less fixes this type of error.
When I check the status:
$ sudo service docker status
* Docker is not running
It says it's not running so I start it successfully:
$ sudo service docker start
* Starting Docker: docker [ OK ]
If I check the status immediately it says it's running. But when I check it again a few second later, it's not runnning:
$ sudo service docker status
* Docker is running
$ sudo service docker status
* Docker is not running
Why is the Docker service stopping and how can I keep it running?
What you got is as expected.
Microsoft does not support running the Docker daemon (also known as the service) within the WSL instance. You can refer to this discussion.
What you can do is just use docker client in WSL to connect to a remote docker engine which means docker daemon still on other PC.
But, if you use WSL2 which announced in May 6th, 2019, then, from microsoft's announcement, it could be(There is also a demo in this announcement which you can have a look):
Today we’re unveiling the newest architecture for the Windows Subsystem for Linux: WSL 2! Changes in this new architecture will allow for: dramatic file system performance increases, and full system call compatibility, meaning you can run more Linux apps in WSL 2 such as Docker.
You need either Docker on Windows:

Disallow egress from Docker containers on Docker for Mac

I want to disable all outgoing connections that are initiated by docker containers to the outside world. I can do this in linux by adding a rule to the FORWARD chain in linux. How do I do this in Docker for Mac?
I found out that Docker for Mac uses an xhyve vm and that’s where docker0 interface lives. What interface in the host does this connect to? I used nettop on Mac and I see that Docker uses my en0 wireless interface. But, I’m not sure if Docker and xhyve are using the same interface.
Edit: Added docker-for-windows tag because they might have similar solutions (Hoping)
Edit 2: Docker for Mac has changed so the accepted solution changed a bit
Docker
$ docker run --net=host --privileged -ti alpine sh
# apk update && apk add iptables
# iptables -vnL
This and the rules could be turned into a Dockerfile and run with a -- restart option. I think on-failure might work to reapply the rules when Docker for Mac starts up.
Virtual Machine
To get to the linux VM:
mac$ brew install screen
mac$ screen ~/Library/Containers/com.docker.docker/Data/com.docker.driver.amd64-linux/tty
Since the move to linuxkit, this is not your average linux host, everything's a container:
linuxkit:~# ctr -n services.linuxkit tasks ls
TASK PID STATUS
acpid 925 RUNNING
diagnose 967 RUNNING
host-timesync-daemon 1116 RUNNING
ntpd 1248 RUNNING
vpnkit-forwarder 1350 RUNNING
docker-ce 1011 RUNNING
kubelet 1198 RUNNING
trim-after-delete 1303 RUNNING
vsudd 1398 RUNNING
Use runc to move into the docker-ce (or docker) namespace
linuxkit:~# runc --root /run/containerd/runc/default exec -t docker-ce /bin/sh
docker-ce # iptables -vnL
Note that rules will disappear after a restart of Docker for Mac. I haven't found the secret sauce for persisting system changes yet.
Use ctrl-a then d to exit the screen session otherwise you will bork the terminal.
OSX
For the easy but € option, use Little Snitch and block outbound connections on OSX from com.docker.supervisor via vpnkit.
Try Mac's pfctl command, it's kind of equivalent to iptables.
Here's man page: https://developer.apple.com/legacy/library/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man8/pfctl.8.html

Keyboard/Mouse are unresponsable when running x-org in a docker container

I want to create a docker image for a GUI application (e.g. Chrome) and I hope this GUI app could run at a bare Linux server without X server installed.
I know it is very easy to create and run a docker image just for X Window Client (The GUI application itself). This needs X server be installed and run at host.
sudo docker run -ti -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix xorg xterm -display :0
But for me, I need both X client and server run in docker container.
Here's my dockerfile:
FROM ubuntu:14.04
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y xorg
And I run the image by command:
sudo docker run -i -t --rm -e DISPLAY=:0 --privileged xorg xinit
The X server could be started and my screen turns black, after a few seconds, the xterm window displays. BUT, I can't use keyboard and mouse. The screen seems like freezen
I have searched and tried many solutions but no one could fix this problem. (the virtual x-server is not I needed)
I have resolved this problem.
At first, I thought maybe x server in docker container cannot access host devices, and I spent much time on LXC/cgroup. For example, I changed the docker exec engine to LXC, and I added option '--lxc-conf='lxc.cgroup.devices.allow = c 13:* rwm', and I also created /dev/input/* in container.
All of these operations are unnecessary.
If we run docker container in privileged mode, all host devices will be added automatically. Or we can use options like '--device=/dev/input/mice' to share host device.
The real problem is that x server could not discovery and add device automatically. I don't know why. But we could modify x server's configuration and customize the device.
add file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-input.conf
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
EndSection
Section "ServerLayout"
Identifier "Desktop"
InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/event2"
EndSection
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Mouse0"
Driver "mouse"
Option "Protocol" "auto"
Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice"
Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7"
EndSection
and run docker container:
docker run -i -t -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix --rm --privileged ubuntu startx
At first make sure that proper input modules are installed:
RUN DEBIAN_FRONTEND='noninteractive' apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends xserver-xorg-input-evdev xserver-xorg-input-all
In modern Linux udev is responsible for managing device nodes (including USB keyboards) in the /dev tree. It uses /run/udev/data which isn't available inside your container even with -privileged option.
So you need to mount that folder explicitly using -v /run/udev/data:/run/udev/data like this:
docker run -i -t -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix --rm --privileged -v /run/udev/data:/run/udev/data ubuntu startx
