Docker stack with Raspberry Pi C++ home project with autonomous domotics depending on sensors value.

Prerequisites

We recommend Raspberry Pi Model 3 to run this project.

WiringPi have to be installed: (http://wiringpi.com/download-and-install/).

Before going further, copy the conf file into /etc:

cp -a ./daemon/otal.cnf /etc/otal.cnf

Now, we install Docker and docker-compose:

sudo apt update && \
sudo apt upgrade && \
sudo apt install raspberrypi-kernel raspberrypi-kernel-headers && \
(sudo curl -sSL https://get.docker.com | sh) && \
sudo apt install docker-compose git libi2c-dev && \
sudo usermod -aG docker ${USER}
newgrp docker

Also, to use Postgresql, you'll have to compile and install libpqxx: https://github.com/jtv/libpqxx

Build & Installation

git clone https://github.com/Linzdigr/eCharles
cd eCharles/daemon
sudo make install

In order to the Pi to start the Daemon at boot time, you might want to add the following to your /etc/rc.local:
