Synology Docker USB Passthru for Zigbee

I have a Synology NAS running HA in Docker, and I was having a hard time making Home Assistant see the Zigbee USB whatever radio thingie.

I found this solution:

github.com/nunofgs/docker-octoprint

Add instructions for passing USB port to docker container

Suggest adding instructions to to identify the USB port being used and then pass…ing this device into the container. With the pi connected to the printer via usb `ls /dev | grep tty` This should return a long list of 'tty' The one we need is found at the end of the list and is probably `ttyUSB0` if no other USB devices are plugged in. In order to use this `ttyUSB0` add this to your docker run command `docker run -device /dev/ttyUSB0:/dev/ttyUSB0 .....` Now octoprint can detect the the USB port and connect to the printer.

“DSM docker UI application does not have option to set “device”.” - There’s a workaround

Export the docker container configuration, edit it to add a section referencing the USB device you want passed through (/dev/ttyUSB0, ttyACM0, whatever) and re-import it.

It worked for me, see the link above for more details.

(note, this won’t help with missing USB drivers in DSM 7. I’m lucky enough to be on DSM 6 still)

This feature (passthrough) has been disabled by Synology on the update. Really frustrating as now the systems I use in Docker are null and void. Sorry
