max-home-automation-docker

Files to create and run a Docker image with max_home_automation based on debian-bullseye-slim. It's is a GTK+ application written by Dmitry A. Kazakov to manage an eQ-3 MAX! cube and basically replaces the no longer maintained orginal ELV MAX! software adding lots of useful features. It will run headless using a virtual X11 framebuffer (xvfb) and can be configured using VNC on port 5900. The container also exposes ports 1883 and 8080 to control the cube and all connected thermostats using MQTT messages or HTTP REST commands. It can thus be applied as bridge between home automation software such as Home Assistant and the MAX! devices. A settings file for max_home_automation can be placed in the directory config. To get this great piece of software up and running just clone this repository, run docker-compose start and point your VNC client to port 5900.
