Cant access USB Zwave dongle from Docker zwavejs-ui container

[joeblackdandt]

Hello,

I am trying to set up a z-wave smart home network, using 2 containers:
- homeassistant
- zwave-js-ui

I was able to have both container's UI up and running in their respective web ports, however, i am getting an error when configuring zwave-js-ui "Driver: Failed to open the serial port: Error: Operation not permitted, cannot open /dev/ttyUSB0 (ZW0100)"

I am using docker-composer and mapping the device by id (even though the zwave-js-ui detects the USB devices it self, so seems it can see them but cannot open serial ports)

device ID:
- usb-Silicon_Labs_HubZ_Smart_Home_Controller_61600520-if00-port0

Looks like the container is not getting access to the device.

Can you help with this?
