Proxmox virtual machine HA + docker container: Zigbee USB pass

Configuration Zigbee
1

I don’t see my Zigbee USB with the docker containers?

My setup:
Proxmox 7.3-3
HA in a virtual machine
All add-ons setup in docker containers (portainer, mariadb, phpmyadmin, influxdb, grafan, mosquitto, nodered, zigbee2mqtt)

logged in the terminal HA:

lsusb               
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 1a86:7523
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0627:0001
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002

ls -la /dev/ttyUSB0 
crw-rw----    1 root     audio     188,   0 Dec 13 12:53 /dev/ttyUSB0

This is my USB stick that I can see in my virtual machine, and would like to see in my docker environment.

Logged in the terminal pve environment:

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0bda:c821 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. Bluetooth Radio 
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

I would like access to:
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 1a86:7523 QinHeng Electronics CH340 serial converter

In my docker container, I can not find anything related to my Zigbee USB stick.
Hopefully, someone can help me out?

Kind regards,
Robert

Use “-- device” to map zigbee device to docker container

You can use portainer to add usb device as well.

This is true if using HA container in VM but HAOS In VM i believe this would not be needed. Its not clear which your using?

Thank you for your quick response!

Can you explain how to map Zigbee device to docker container using “-device”

I found the following video Proxmox Sonoff Zigbee LXC USB Passthrough [ioBroker SONOFF Zigbee 3.0 USB Dongle Plus,TI CC2652P] - YouTube

My problem seems to start at step 3)
root@pve:~# ls /dev/serial/by-id/
ls: cannot access ‘/dev/serial/by-id/’: No such file or directory

Thus, anybody knows how I can solve this?
