## brother\_ql\_web Dockerfile
This repository contains the Dockerfile to create images for the application
[brother\_ql\_web](https://github.com/pklaus/brother_ql_web), a web interface
to print labels with Brother's QL-series label printers.
*Ready to use images* can be found on Docker hub:
[pklaus/brother\_ql\_web](https://hub.docker.com/r/pklaus/brother_ql_web).
### Base Image / Tags
The image created are based on alpine and built for multiple
platforms/architectures. Your docker daemon will automatically
pick a suitable version when pulling the image.
Running this on a Raspberry Pi works like a charm!
The `:latest` tag is the most up-to-date version of the code.
Furthermore, there are tags like `:alpine_1234567` available,
they contain a specific commit of brother\_ql\_web if you want
to pin your deployment to a specific version.
### Usage
An example running the application with a QL-700 connected **via USB**:
```
docker run \
--name brother_ql_web \
--detach \
--rm \
--device=/dev/usb/lp0 \
--publish 8013:8013 \
--restart=always \
pklaus/brother_ql_web:latest \
./brother_ql_web.py --model QL-700 file:///dev/usb/lp0
```
Then you can access the web interface over via http://your-docker-host-ip:8013.
Instead of `--device=/dev/usb/lp0` you might also consider
`--volume /dev/usb/:/dev/usb/` which should be more robust
against device disconnects / reconnects.
If you have a **networked printer** like the QL-820NWB, you could start the GUI like this:
```
docker run \
--name brother_ql_web \
--detach \
--rm \
--publish 8013:8013 \
--restart=always \
pklaus/brother_ql_web:latest \
./brother_ql_web.py --model QL-820NWB tcp://192.168.0.57
```
For more options, consult the `--help`:
```
docker run --rm \
pklaus/brother_ql_web:latest \
./brother_ql_web.py --help
```
To **stop/kill and remove the container**, run:
`docker kill brother_ql_web`
