ioBroker-compose

ioBroker deployment using Docker Compose

recommendations

This compose-file is tailored and tested to be used on linux hosts using eth0 as network interface (especially Raspberry Pi) It can be adjusted for use on mac-os or windows hosts.

I recommend using ubuntu server for Raspberry Pi as OS, with latest Docker version and Portainer-Ce for easy Container management.

If you are using a Raspberry-Pi 3 or 4 with just 1Gig of ram, make sure to configure your swapfile correctly. (2Gig of swap with swappiness of 10 have worked just fine with my setup)

Networking:

For most usecases it is usefull to provide ioBroker direct access to your LAN
To allow the ioBroker-container to obtain a IP address in your LAN you have to provide

• Gateway ip address with env "GATEWAY_IP" (default: 192.168.1.1)
• Subnet mask with env "SUBNET_MASK" (dafault: 24)
• the ioBroker IP-address with env "IP_ADDRESS" (default: 192.168.1.2)
  make sure the provided IP-address is outside your DHCP range
• optional the ioBroker Mac address mith env "MAC_ADDRESS"

it is usefull to provide a Mac-address when using YAHKA adapter.

Database:

This Compose file uses Mariadb as a open-source drop-in-replacement for My-sql as database-container.
If You want to use some other Database like Influx, feel free to customize the compose file to your needs.

optional You can provide a password to your Database with env "DB_PASSWORD"

Access Database inside ioBroker:

inside iobroker you cann access Mariadb with the SQL adapter as MY-SQL

• Host: mariadb
• Port: 3306
• Database: iobroker
• User: iobroker
• Password: your DB_PASSWORD if set / 'mysqlpassword' if unset
