title: Accessing Bluetooth dongle from inside Docker?
body: <p>Is it possible to use a bluetooth (BLE in my case) dongle inside of a docker container?</p>
  
  <p>On my host machine:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ hcitool dev
      Devices:
         hci0   5C:F3:70:64:F0:11
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Inside of Docker it doesn't find anything. I'm running Docker as:</p>
  
  <pre><code>sudo docker run --privileged -i -t ubuntu /bin/bash
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I don't know enough about the bluetooth subsystem in Linux to understand what is different between the host and docker.</p>
  
  <p>The <code>hci0</code> device does show up in both systems:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ ls -l /sys/class/bluetooth
  lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root 0 Mar  5 01:23 hci0 -&gt; ../../devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:11.0/0000:02:00.0/usb2/2-2/2-2.3/2-2.3:1.0/bluetooth/hci0
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Anyone try to use bluetooth inside of Docker?</p>
