feat: allow accessing broadlink controllers by referencing static ip.…

[jannylund]

… This allows use of non-host network mode in docker and makes the app work properly on mac.

This will provide a solution for the following issues:

• BroadlinkManager on Mac - No Devices #81
• No interface or no devices #55
• Can't access Boradlinkmanager on localhost #13
• Unable to find devices using Virtualbox and docker #10

To confirm, the following docker-compose file can be used:

services:
  broadlinkmanager:
    build: .
    environment:
      - ENABLE_GOOGLE_ANALYTICS=False
      - STATIC_IP_LIST=<ip-of-controller1>,<ip-of-controller2..>
    ports:
      - 7020:7020

Ping @t0mer - please check when you have time. I have another PR ready for opening to simplify dependency management, but would be great if this is handled first as they are a bit dependent on each other.

hey was trying out this branch to see if it would help me with my "no devices" issue...the IP of 192.168.1.151 is the RM4Pro.
docker-compose.yml

services:
  broadlinkmanager:
    build: .
    environment:
      - ENABLE_GOOGLE_ANALYTICS=False
      - STATIC_IP_LIST=192.168.1.151
    ports:
      - 7020:7020

still not seeing any devices.

seems like it's still only scanning 172.22.0.2 which I guess is the internal docker IP?

Hey @gorbypark , indeed, this looks like you are still on the master branch. Can you show the git log output from your clone to validate that it has my latest commit?

[gorbypark]

Ah, most likely that is it, I pulled your fork but didn’t switch from main. Now that you say it it’s obvious, haha! I’ll try again tomorrow and report back. Thanks!

So it turns out master is the branch I should have been on and I appear to be using the correct fork/branch..

Strange. I confirmed that this works in my environment. Note that the static ip is scanned only after clicking the rescan button in the ui. Please see my screenshot. If this still fails for you, I can push a container to dockerhub to ensure that it is the proper commit that is running.

So in the end I was missing the step of doing docker-compose build. I had run docker build ., which in theory should do the same thing if I am not mistaken. It's also possible I did the docker build . in the non-forked repo (but I'm about 90% sure I didn't!). Anyways, this works perfectly on my setup (macOS, docker desktop)! +1 for getting this merged.
