Docker Build and Publish / Build Docker image and publish to Gitea (push) Failing after 41s
The .deb declares a dependency on udev but udev is a host service, not needed inside the container. Use --force-depends to skip that check. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
usb-crash-cart
Docker container wrapper for the NOTECONS02 USB Crash Cart Adapter software.
The vendor software (usb-crash-cart-adapter v20240517) was built against Ubuntu 16.04
(Python 2.7, wxWidgets 2.9/GTK2) and is incompatible with modern Fedora. This repo runs
it inside an Ubuntu 16.04 container with X11/XWayland passthrough.
New host setup (one-time)
Clone the repo and install the udev rules so the crash cart adapter is accessible without root:
git clone git@git.sdgarren.com:scott/usb-crash-cart.git
cd usb-crash-cart
sudo ./install-udev-rules.sh
Reconnect the adapter if it was already plugged in.
Running
Pull the pre-built image from the Gitea registry and launch:
docker pull git.sdgarren.com/scott/usb-crash-cart:latest
./docker-run.sh
docker-run.sh handles X11/XWayland socket sharing and USB device passthrough automatically.
Notes
- The container uses
ubuntu:16.04to match the original build environment. - The app bundles its own
libpython2.7,libwx_gtk2u-2.9,libpng12, etc. — the container only needs GTK2 and X11 system libs from the OS. - On Fedora with Wayland, XWayland provides X11 compatibility — no extra configuration needed.
- The Docker image is built automatically by Gitea Actions on every push to
main.
