Is there a way to mount host snmp mibs to the container ?

2020-03-22T15:06:00Z E!

I'm not sure that it is i don't think we can manually mount a folder from within the addon, let me do some digging

[psolarcz]

When I was using telegraf container I had this volume mounted:

• "/var/lib/snmp/mibs:/usr/share/snmp/mibs"

yeah unfortunately i think hassio limits the ability to mount custom folders,

[jrbenito]

how about put the MIBS inside hassio config page and mount it inside the container or simply symlink it inside the container?

[sabuto]

@jrbenito that is not a bad shout, if i get time i will do this. Happy to take PR's on this :)

[jrbenito]

well, I want to learn how to work with addons for hassio so I will try to take time and look into this too. Thanks

[sabuto]

@jrbenito unfortunately i cannot symlink something outside the container to the inside, it won't work. Also I cannot mount a folder so unfortunately with this i don't think there are many options to consider unless the devs decide to change how we mount folders

[jrbenito]

@Sabuto Thanks for reaching back.

But do you have access to config folder from the inside the container or not? (I still don't understanding exactly how hassos does this).

[sabuto]

I have access to the config, ssl, addons, backup and share folders within hassio which are on the host fs. So I may do it so it create a new folder within the share folder in hassio and the user manually copies over the files to that and then telegraf can symlink them to the proper place

[jrbenito]

So, my idea is somehow like:

1. put MIBs in a homeassistant folder, for instance config/MIBs
2. inside telegraf container, copy or symlink to that directory so telegraf can find it. 2.1 in the case symlinking is impossible, the copy shall occur on every container restart (and new MIBs will be available upon container restart)

I think is the same you described above.

Hi,

I like the plugin but not being able to use MIB's was driving me mad. So updated the image to include standard MIB's such as IF-MIB. That's got me up and running with what I was trying to do but obviously if there's a better way of getting the standard MIB's included as a minimum that would save people a lot of time and frustration with what is a good addition to Home Assistant.

Thanks to @Sabuto for creating this!
