Shell_commands on docker

[kperkowski (Karol Perkowski)]

To start off. I am pretty sure this is the right place for this thread, since hass.io uses docker.

I’m trying to use the shell_command component to execute a snmpset or logger command without any luck. Any ideas on what could be the issue? I am using a docker image running on a unraid box. It is running in privileged mode. Do I need to have another docker container running that I do remote execution? I mean that would be the easiest hack without modifying much right?

I guess no one here has this issue??

I do. Shell commands don’t work

I’m currently going through this https://home-assistant.io/hassio/run_local/

Okay I can see this working. Setup another container aka add-on and have it listen to a queue.

I was able to make it work with a local addon to play local audio files via shell command:

Hassio and local audio

I’ve created a local addon to play local audio files. This doesn’t entirely match the question because it won’t be able to play audio from Google Home but I think it’s still on topic.
