Hey there,
we are trying to set up the netPi as an USB-Device-Server to share USB devices over ethernet. The server software we want to use is called VirtualHere and works great on a RaspberryPi3. But after setting up a container with raspbian and installing the server software we got some problems with the connected USB devices. The virtualhere server is not able to open the devices. We get this error message:
"LOG_ERR Error 1 opening device (/usr/sbin/bus_usb_001_005) file descriptor, Operation not permitted"
It seems that the container doesn't have enough permissions to use the USB devices. The same happens with USB mass storage devices. By configuring the container, the devices were linked to the container (/dev/ttyUSB0)
Is there any option to get is working on a netPi, maybe witch more permissions for the docker container?
Regards, daice
