Docker image for alexa-fhem

A FHEM complementary Docker image for Amazon alexa voice assistant, based on Debian Stretch.

Installation

Pre-build images are available on Docker Hub. We recommend pulling from the main repository to allow automatic download of the correct image for your system platform:

docker pull fhem/alexa-fhem

To start your container right away:

docker run -d --name alexa-fhem -p 3000:3000 fhem/alexa-fhem

Usually you want to keep your FHEM setup after a container was destroyed (or re-build) so it is a good idea to provide an external directory on your Docker host to keep that data:

docker run -d --name alexa-fhem -p 3000:3000 -v /some/host/directory:/alexa-fhem fhem/alexa-fhem

After starting your container, you may check the web server availability:

http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:3000/

You may want to have a look to the alexa-fhem documentation or FHEM Connector documentation for further information.

Image flavors

This image provides 2 different variants:

latest (default)
dev

You can use one of those variants by adding them to the docker image name like this:

docker pull fhem/alexa-fhem:latest

If you do not specify any variant, latest will always be the default.

latest will give you the current stable Docker image, including up-to-date alexa-fhem. dev will give you the latest development Docker image, including up-to-date alexa-fhem.
