Using your own script

To run the docker container with your own script you will need to mount a volume containing the script to the container. Using the --script option, you should then pass the path to the mounted lua script. For example:

docker run --rm --name bacnet-sim -e RUN_MODE=IP/MSTP -v {path-to-scripts}:{mounted-path-to-lua-scipts} iotechsys/bacnet-sim:2.0 --instance 1234 --name BACnetSimulator --script {mounted-path-to-lua-scripts}/custom-script.lua

A more concrete example

docker run --rm --name bacnet-sim -e RUN_MODE=IP/MSTP -v $(pwd)/lua-scripts/:/docker-lua-scripts/ iotechsys/bacnet-sim:2.0 --instance 1234 --name BACnetSimulator --script /docker-lua-scripts/custom-script.lua
