#Moving my docker HA from a Linux to a MacOS, having trouble with my sonoff zigbee 3.0 usb

I have a working usb passthrough on debian, and I am finding mixed messages on usb passthrough on mac for docker. I can see both the cu.serial devices as well as the tty device for the zigbee dongle, but docker gives the error that the device isnit found Error response from daemon: error gathering device information while adding custom device "/dev/cu.usbserial-202311201154291": no such file or directory my docker config has this: devices: - /dev/cu.usbserial-202311201154291:/dev/ttyUSB0

If you run HA privileged like documented you don't need to pass anything as it already has access to all devices.

I'm not sure, I don't own any apple products. Apparently it runs in a VM similar to docker desktop on windows and thus doesn't support that.

#

I'm curious why you switched from linux?
As a workaround you could use a ethernet coordinator like the SLZB-06/SLZB-06M.

moving to m4 for performance/power consumption

#

I will look for a different hardware option than the usb dongle or just move to a VM on the mac

I was going to suggest a VM but I'm not sure about the landscape of hypervisors for MAC. This could also allow you to use HAOS if that's something you want.

I am interested in going back to HAOS, I am winding through the UTM (hypervisor) maze right now since everything points to virtualbox for mac right now

#

I know how to move everything over, just bummed to see docker for mac doesn't support serial passthrough, and it's an old bug that they have closed

#

This m4 mac mini is fast though and sips power

yeah I found that after posting this question, which is how it always seems to go for me. thank you- macos+docker+device passthrough is def an edge case 🙂
