Docker compose for this fork:

services:
  watermeter:
    image: riulopkat/watermeter:develop
    container_name: watermeter
    volumes:
      - ./watermeter/config:/usr/src/watermeter/src/config
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - "3000:3000"

Then access:

http://watermeter:3000/configure.php

Tip: The service will only output an updated value if the OCR recognized new value is greater than the last_value but also within the range of max_threshold, otherwise will be discarded as invalid

For the /config docker compose mapped folder, when mapped, if mounted to the container empty, the service will fail to start. So you must provide the files ahead of time config.php. You can copy it from the github repo src/config/ for the initial setup.

Original repo info ►

Reads analog water meters and provides a web service that returns the read value as decimal. The needles of the analog gauges currently have to be red.

Turns into 820.5745 so it can become .

services:
  watermeter:
    image: nohn/watermeter:latest
    container_name: watermeter
    volumes:

    restart: always
    ports:

You can access the configuration tool http://watermeter:3000/configure.php. The interface should be self explanatory. Source Image can be either in local filesystem or any HTTP(S) resource.

After configuration is done, you can access the current value at

http://watermeter:3000/

or

http://watermeter:3000/?json

or see debug information at
