Docker container cannot access dynamically plugged USB devices

Product support balenaOS

Hey @jaredro

This is for an Intel NUC, we’re connecting the devices before we power on, but they also work if we connect them after boot.

I’m not completely sure what else I had to add to my Dockerfile.template to get the udev rules to work. Using git pickaxe (git log -p -S “video4linux” …) to try to find what I added:

apt-get libsm6 libext6

# switch on systemd init system in container
ENV INITSYSTEM on
RUN echo 'SUBSYSTEM=="video4linux", ATTR{name}=="Boson", SYMLINK+="video_boson"' > /etc/udev/rules.d/boson.rules

If that doesn’t help, let me know!
