Docker image that runs the Blynk server

Blynk Server Docker Image

Runs your own Blynk Server in a Docker container on your Raspberry Pi.

Blynk is the "first drag-n-drop IoT app builder for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP8266, SparkFun boards, and others." Super fun.

How To Use It

Docker compose

version: "3.0"
services:
  blynk:
    image: help14/blynk-server-pi
    container_name: blynk
    cap_add:
      - ALL
    volumes:
      - ./blynk:/data
    ports:
      - 8080:8080/tcp
      - 8441:8441/tcp
      - 9443:9443/tcp
      - 8080:8080/udp
      - 8441:8441/udp
      - 9443:9443/udp
    restart: unless-stopped
    #networks:
    #  myvlan:
    #    ipv4_address: 192.168.1.21

Docker command

Easy peasy:

docker run help14/blynk-server-pi:latest

To forward IP ports from the host to the container, do this:

docker run -p 8080:8080 -p 8441:8441 -p 9443:9443 help14/blynk-server-pi:latest

To persist data, mount a directory into the container:

docker run -v $(PWD):/data help14/blynk-server-pi:latest

To include your own server.properties file, mount it into /config/server.properties

docker run -v $(PWD)/server.properties:/config/server.properties help14/blynk-server-pi:latest

Or you can use a data volume in another container (check out different data volume techniques here).
