Migration to Virtualisation
-
Not 100% sure this is the best place, but this seems to be the sticking point.
Background: My NotVera system has been working perfectly now for some years. USB Z wave stick in an old Intel NUC.
The NUC has a bare metal install of Debian buster, and on that we have:
Z-wave Smart Home
OpenLuup
AltUI
MSR
Mosquito server
Home Automation Bridge.
I also have a bare metal Raspian install of Home Assistant running on a PiDue to my Buffalo Linkstation doing some odd stuff (like suddenly disconnecting, while maintaining everything was fine) I bit the bullet and bought a Synology DS224+
Now, given the age of my NUC I'm thinking that I should probably start thinking about how to replace / safeguard it. Pretty happy that I can make an image of the existing disk and drop it onto a virtual machine in the Synology, or re-install / restore or do some other things (not decided what yet) but I get stuck on the USB dongle.
Can I connect that to a VM on the NAS, or do I need another solution?
TIA

I'm running everything in a VM except 1 thing, I'm using a raspberry using PoE + usb zwave stick that I sent the data over ethernet using socat/ser2net to act as an external serial device for the zwave

This is what I was beginning to think. Any performance issues?

Presuming your Synology is running the latest version of DSM, then there may be an issue in accessing the USB from docker. Earlier versions seemed to allow this, although I never had any luck getting my Z-Way stick to work.
