Raspberry pi camera on Hassio

Is this a solution to a different problem or the one referenced in this thread?

Problem:

Rpi_camera error

I have a brand new raspberry pi 3 with the pi camera module. I am running HA using the official rpi2 docker image. It runs great on my system. However, when I try to activate the rpi_camera module, I get an error when I start up HA. It says “file not found.” I have tried using the default directory, I have tried using the config directory. I have changed permissions to no avail. Is there any explanation why the rpi_camera component cannot set up properly?

Solution:

Rpi_camera error

I figured out the error. The rpi_camera component uses the Linux killall command and for some reason this is not included in the official raspberry pi docker image. Either install killall or change the code to use pkill which fixed it for me.
