How to solve "not a device node" error in docker

I moved from HA in Docker to HA OS on a VM on my Synology. I did a clean install on the VM on purpose. Before deleting the docker install, I wanted to upgrade it to download my historical energy data.

I used the tutorials, but probably missed something: after the upgrade the container doesn’t start anymore. Message: “Start container home-assistant1 failed: {“message”:“error gathering device information while adding custom device "/dev/ttyUSB0": not a device node”}.”

I tried to create the node with command mknod /dev/ttyUSB0 c 188 0
This doesn’t work: mknod: ‘/dev/ttyUSB0’: File exists

Any ideas on what I’m missing?
