RPi-RF try running as root error, adding user doesn't help

Configuration

Getting the same issue as this:

but adding pi to gpio group or any other adduser command does not work. I’m running HASS in a docker container and HASS gives me the normal “try running as root!” error. What’s going on here?

Could I run this as a shell file and set to autostart at boot?

Traceback (most recent call last):

That changes everything. The post you referred to was running HA in a virtual environment. I doubt if they have the same solution. I don’t know how, but you will have to look up how to expose gpio to your docker container.

Hi, I have exactly the same problem, did you solve?
