When I run docker container and list properties of some device with udevadm
inside the container, there are only the basic information about the device. When I do the same thing on host, I can see much more. What can I do to get all the information inside the container?
host$ udevadm info --query=property /dev/bus/usb/004/008

I have also tried to mount other volumes from host: /sys, /dev. Did not help.
EDIT according to the Alex P.'s answer:
I'm not very experienced with udev. I have copied this
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="usb_device", IMPORT{builtin}="usb_id", IMPORT{builtin}="hwdb --subsystem=usb"
to /dev/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules, I have set udev logging to debug, reloaded config with udevadm control --reload
. Now I get this:
calling: info

N: bus/usb/004/016

For now still no luck. I tried to run the container with --privileged flag, did not help. I have no other rules in /etc/udev/rules.d. I tried to copy all rules from my host, no luck.
host$ udevadm monitor --environment
monitor will print the received events for:
UDEV - the event which udev sends out after rule processing
KERNEL - the kernel uevent

If you only care about getting information from the udev database, then you can mount the host's udev database into the docker container, e.g.,
-v /run/udev:/run/udev:ro
By doing so, you won't need to run a udev daemon inside the docker container, but still get all the ID_
attributes when doing udevadm info
. This worked for me for a Debian docker container running on a Debian host.
I also suggest mounting /dev
as well so your docker container will know about any changes to the device files.
According to this this blog, udev just does not play well with docker when running in containers. I thus decided that this problem needs a workaround. With udev I only get the path of the device in /sys, and get the needed information directly from that path, e. g.:
container# cat "/sys$(udevadm info -q path /dev/bus/usb/002/009)/idVendor"
I am going to mark this as solved, however it's just a workaround, not the real answer to the question.
EDIT
According to this post, these flags are needed to get udevadm display the udev events (along with attributes): --net=host -v /dev:/dev
This only works for udevadm monitor
, not for udevadm info
.
