Unable to run zwave-js-ui using docker

[mbarton805]

I am try to run zwave-js-ui using docker in a local folder for persistence following the J-Wave JS UI quick start. When i run

sudo docker run --rm -it -p 8091:8091 -p 3000:3000 --device=/dev/serial/by-id/usb-0658_0200-if00:/dev/zwave -v $(pwd)/store:/usr/src/app/store zwavejs/zwave-js-ui:latest

I get this (banner snipped out):

**2026-01-24 11:19:36.669 WARN Z-WAVE: Z-Wave driver not inited, no port configured**

I bit of searching for "WARN Z-WAVE: Z-Wave driver not inited, no port configured" indicates /dev/zwave was not created. There wasn't a zwave tab in settings either.

I then created a persistant name "zwave" using udev and verified that /dev/zwave was created. I then tried running with the following:

sudo docker run --rm -it -p 8091:8091 -p 3000:3000 --device=/dev/zwave -v $(pwd)/store:/usr/src/app/store zwavejs/zwave-js-ui:latest

Same result, "2026-01-24 12:47:53.768 WARN Z-WAVE: Z-Wave driver not inited, no port configured"
I must be missing something simple. I am new to docker, any help is appreciated.

Thanks

That's totally normal, you first have to configure port and other settings in UI
