Lunaticoastro Dragonfly Controller

Python code serves as a client that controls and queries a dome (DragonFly Dome) controller over a network, allowing it to send commands, and fetch relay and sensor data remotely.

Once the container is running you can open the API at http://<container_ip>:8080/docs/
