Note: it's important to run with --net=host. This allows the container to
access bluetooth devices. Sadly, this will most likely only work under linux.
docker run -e PHOMEMO_BT_MAC=<your-printers-mac> --net=host -it ghcr.io/b4ckspace/phomemer
Instead of Bluetooth, you can also connect to your printer via USB.
This should create a character device at /dev/usb/lp0 (or a higher number).
You can pass this character device into the Docker container and omit the
PHOMEMO_BT_MAC setting to make phomemer use the USB connection.
(PHOMEMO_BT_MAC takes precedence over USB if it is specified!).
This requires that the Docker user has sufficient permission to write to
/dev/usb/lp0 — assign the correct group membership or modify the character
device's permissions through a udev rule if not.
--net=host is still required here to allow you/your users to access phomemer
through a well-known port on the Docker host's localhost.
docker run --device '/dev/usb/lp0:/dev/phomemo' --net=host -it ghcr.io/b4ckspace/phomemer
