No interface or no devices

[zmlklfe]

Running broadlinkmanager on docker on synology.
I can get the web-interface working by running the container, but then i cannot find any broadlink devices.
I guess it is due to network_mode is supposed to be set to host. If i set it to host, the web interface disappears.

Does anyone know how to solve this?

Can you post the output of your docker or docker-compose?

I have many other docker networks which caused problems. I solved it by setting the environment variable DISCOVERY_IP_LIST in my docker-compose.yml:

version: "3.6"
services:
  broadlinkmanager:
    image: techblog/broadlinkmanager
    network_mode: host
    container_name: broadlinkmanager
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - ./broadlinkmanager:/opt/broadlinkmanager/data
    environment:
      - ENABLE_GOOGLE_ANALYTICS=False
      - DISCOVERY_IP_LIST=10.0.4.103 #set this to your host's ip address; must be same subnet as your Broadlink devices

Without setting it I had many interfaces but no devices were found (timeout issue?).

After setting it, Broadlinkmanager only looks on this one interface:

I am having the same issue. Adding - DISCOVERY_IP_LIST did not change anything.
without it, multiple ip's are checked including the host machine's. It is not finding any broadlink devices.

[dwaynelarose]

Some things that worked for me:

• Added the ip of the system that scanning from under the Enviromental variable DISCOVERY_IP_LIST
• make is in Docker is Host networking mode
• make sure to unlock the device in the Broadlink app
  o Open the Broadlink app.
  o From the Home screen, tap on your Broadlink device.
  o Tap the ... in the top right.
  o Scroll down and toggle "Lock device" to Off. (may be under properties)
  o Tap OK when prompted "Confirm to unlock the device"

If you are running on a Mac, docker does not support host networking mode.

If you are running on a Mac, docker does not support host networking mode.

WSL2 doesn't support it either.
