Problem installing OpenWebRX on CasaOS

Hello,

I recently tried installing OpenWebRX on my CasaOS system to use an RTL-SDR stick. Unfortunately, I'm encountering problems and I need assistance to resolve the issue.

When running OpenWebRX I get the following error messages:

2024-04-25 06:30:15,384 - owrx.source.rtlsdr - INFO - Started sdr source: rtl_connector -s 2400000 -g 29 -f 438800000 -p 38687 -c 43221

File "/opt/openwebrx/owrx/source/connector.py", line 57, in postStart
self.controlSocket.connect(("localhost", self.controlPort))
ConnectionRefusedError: [Errno 111] Connection refused

It seems that the Docker container does not have access to the RTL-SDR stick and I am not sure how to solve this problem. Could you please give me instructions on how to ensure that Docker container has access to USB devices and how to resolve this issue?

Docker Compose:

The docker compose as it was on that web page had the devices on:
‘- /dev/bus/usb/002/002:’

Your terminal looks to show them on 001.
Did you change the compose to reflect the other location?
