Installation

It is possible to run autodarts in a docker container.

If you do not know how to install docker, you can follow this guide.

Please note that this is only available for linux based systems with either arm64 or amd64 architectures so far.

Before getting started, you will have to know the names of your camera interfaces.

You can find them with a tool like v4l2-utils:

sudo apt install v4l2-utils
v4l2-ctl --list-devices

in the output, you will see your cameras. What you need is the first device path for each of them (in my case /dev/video0, /dev/video2 and /dev/video4:

USB HD Camera: USB HD Camera (usb-0000:01:00.0-1.2):
        /dev/video0
        /dev/video1
        /dev/media4

USB HD Camera: USB HD Camera (usb-0000:01:00.0-1.3):
        /dev/video2
        /dev/video3
        /dev/media5

USB HD Camera: USB HD Camera (usb-0000:01:00.0-1.4):
        /dev/video4
        /dev/video5
        /dev/media6

Use the following docker-compose configuration and add your devices in the devices section accordingly:

version: '3.3'
services:
  autodarts:
    image: michvllni/autodarts:latest
    container_name: autodarts
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
    - 3180:3180
    devices:
    - /dev/video0:/dev/video0
    - /dev/video2:/dev/video2
    - /dev/video4:/dev/video4
    volumes:
    - ./config:/root/.config/autodarts

This configuration will automatically expose the cameras to the container and provide the board manager at http://servername:3180.

You can also find this configuration at this link.

Save it into the directory of your choice, then navigate into that directory and execute sudo docker-compose up -d
