QNAP | Container Station | USB Device

General

I have a QNAP NAS and can see my USB device registered and attached as ttyUSB0

I’m trying to make this available to zwave-js-ui Docker Container created via Container Station …

The container is running using Host mode and TTY devices.

Issue: specifying serial port /dev/tty/USB0 returns error “Failed to open the serial port - No such file or directory, cannot open /dev/ttyUSB0)ZW0100)”

Searching for a fix/solution suggests and leads to confusion

  • use /dev/serial/by-id/… rather than /dev/ttyUSB0, however, the directory and thus file does not exist, I can make this directory but adding the file …

  • how do I find the stick reference ?

  • do I need to create a symlink

  • alternative suggestion discuss CLI usage to create container etc.

Useful pointers or a definitive it’s not possible (which I don’t believe, as other seem to have achieved USB passthrough) please.
!

That question might be more suited to a home automation forum to users that deal with it daily.

And to the NAS forum which deals with their customized Docker package.

Another option is to check the issues of the application itself, some use Docker and have compose templates (example).
