Using soco from within a docker container ?

[Max Rydahl Andersen]

Hi,

Anyone succeeded to get soco to discover or even just interact with sonos from within a docker container ?

I tried running with —net=host but it does not seem to make a difference.

Any pointers welcome!

in case anyone finds this here is what i figured out:

the trick is to run the sonos container in --net=host mode. This at the moment only works on native docker hosts (such as Linux) and thus does not work on Docker for Mac.

If you are using docker compose you can run soco based apps the following way:

sonos:

tty: true

stdin_open: true

expose:

- 1915

ports:

- 1915:1915

image: maxandersen/sonos_exporter

command:

- '--address=0.0.0.0:1915'

network_mode: host

the main trick is network_mode: host

AND to bind to not just localhost but 0.0.0.0 or the direct ip as otherwise your app won't be properly exposed.

the rest are just example values (in this case for running a prometheus sonos exporter)
