[docker] No sensors found in configuration file "config.ini"

Hi.

I’m trying to run the mqtt-daemon in docker.

Everything installed fine but when i run the docker i keep getting this error:

[2020-02-14 15:08:27] No sensors found in configuration file “config.ini”

In my docker compose file i have this line:

  - /data/miflora2mqtt/config.ini:/opt/miflora-mqtt-daemon/config.ini

So the config is stored in opt/miflora-mqtt-daemon/config.ini. When i copy this file back from the docker to my local hard drive i see the right config.ini In this file i have this:

[Sensors]

# Add your Mi Flora sensors here. Each sensor consists of a name and a Ethernet MAC address.
# Additional location information can be added to the name, delimited by an '@'.
# Scan for sensors from the command line with:
#    $ sudo hcitool lescan
#
# Examples:
#
Flower_1 = C4:7C:8D:6A:74:7F
Flower_2 = C4:7C:8D:6A:74:23
Flower_3 = C4:7C:8D:6B:1A:70

Do you have any idea what i can try?

I would try to start the container witout the file or with a wrong path. So you know if you get another error like “config file not found” instead of “No sensors found”.

And you could replace your file with the example to see if you get something like “cannot connect to sensor”.

Just a little troubleshooting. 🤔

Hey, were you able to identify the cause of this error? Let us know and I’ll work on a mitigation or improvement of the documentation 😉
