Running on an Ubuntu Server

[ceinem]

I'm a big fan of this stack, great work!
I preferred running this on an Ubuntu server rather than a Raspberry Pi and thought I would share some of the changes I had to make. Maybe this is something for the documentation? The chapter on running on a Virtual Machine in the wiki is not the most extensive 😄

I had an issue with docker versions, manually changing the docker-compose file to version 3.3 fixed this. Not sure what the issue here is.

for some containers, the specification in the docker-compose file is not suitable for ubuntu. For example I had to change the homebridge entry to: oznu/homebridge:latest

There were also some issues with starting the stack, this was also reported on the original repo

run:

export DOCKER_HOST=127.0.0.1:2375
sudo service docker start
sudo docker-compose up -d

after rebooting, run:

sudo service docker start
sudo docker-compose up -d

Thanks for the info.
As IOTstack officially supports only Raspberry Pi, virtual machine setups are outside the scope of the project.
