Hi!
I was wondering what the best way to obtain an unique identifier from within a docker container running on the netPI core 3. I'm using the netpi raspbian image and use the command
to read the serial, similar as I would on a regular Raspberry Ri. Is this id unique to the hardware or does it belong to the container? Is there any other unique identifier for the netPI core 3 available which is better than the one i obtain? Also, i notices that the id which you get by doing this contains the 6 last characters of the MAC-addr of the device and two additional characters which seem random. Are these random or is there a logical way to figure them out without using the command above?
Thank you!
