HDD Temps inside docker container?

[jtpavlock]

Description

Is there anyway currently to get hdd temps while glances is running inside of a docker container?

Maybe I'm bad at searching, but I couldn't find anything / could use some help if this is possible.

Versions

• Glances (glances -V): current docker container image
• PSutil (glances -V):
• Operating System (lsb_release -a): Debian 9.2

Not an easy trick...

Glances uses a socket connection to the HDDTemp daemon running on the host (by default on 127.0.0.1:7634). So you had to :

1. configure your HDDTemp daemon to listen to all interfaces
2. find a way to map this host local port inside the Glances container

If a contributor has an idea...

So I think this should be possible:

1. hddtemp has --listen option that would allow listening on all interfaces.
2. It is possible for a container to access services on the hosts but the address is different based on whether Docker is running natively or not (i.e. Docker for Mac / Windows). This seems like a simple wrapper script that can handle the differences though: https://github.com/bufferings/docker-access-host

docker increase --net=host
