@Ronald1965 

We are on 3.2.10-1 now :-)  Also made the docker image smaller.

ronaldo1965/omada-controller:3.2.10-1 or ronaldo1965/omada-controller:latest for Raspian Stretch and Buster as host.

I am working on Buster in the docker image too, but Raspian Buster has no support for Java 8 SDK. But even got it working with OpenJDK 8.

@R1D2 

 

Hi,

 

since I have an eap245 AP, I want to check the omada controller software.

now I have an Rpi 3b+ running with Raspbian Buster.

on this rpi I have node-red running.

is it possible to install the omada controller software in a docker container alongside node-red?

Anjerlaan, sorry, I have no experience with docker. Maybe Ronald1965 can answer this question, he made a docker image of Omada Controller.

@Anjerlaan I can't say for sure, but I don't see any reason why a docker container can't run along side node-red. The container won't take up much system resources and it runs self-contained and separate from the rest of the os. As long as the communication ports for the container don't conflict with something node-red is using it should have no conflicts.

And omada controller software doesn't use that much recources?

@Anjerlaan It doesn't seem to on my pi, but I'm not familiar with node-red or how resource intensive it is.

@R1D2 Its the idea of Docker to have multipe docker containers running on your system. As long they don't use the same exposed ports it shouldn't be a problem.

They only problem in this case they share the memory of PI3B+ which is only 1GB memory. By default the java process started by entrypoint script runs with -Xmx1024m which says a maximum memory usage of 1GB.

Now if you only want to manage one or a few accesspoints I think it should be possible to lower the maximum memory the container image may use to let see 512M or even less.

But no garantee for that and you have to rebuild the docker image yourself. Which is rather easy by the way.

You can also try to start the container with a memory limit:
--memory 512m for example.

Haven't tested it how far I could go.  But I have it running with --memory 900m on a Banana PI M2 Berry which also have 1GB memory but nothing else.

I must say the omada-controller is a heavy process for the PI. It runs well if it has a dedicated PI. But I wouldnt run much more on it.
