Can't use STF with Docker

[sorccu]

You need to have a rethinkdb container running as well, and then link to it. There's a bit more complicated example over at https://github.com/openstf/stf/blob/master/doc/DEPLOYMENT.md, but you could skip the proxy container and just link against the rethinkdb container if you like.

ok, then it would be easier to install all Requirements by hand without Docker, no?

[sorccu]

Depends on how much you've used Docker before (especially with linked containers), and what OS you're running on. It won't work on OS X with boot2docker because it won't be able to see your USB devices.

@sorccu regarding OS X + Docker support, if I configure Virtualbox to forward USB ports to guest boot2docker machine would it work? Or using something like https://bitbucket.org/chabernac/adbportforward/wiki/Home ? The last one sounds a bit like a jerry rig.

[sorccu]

Yes it would be possible to configure the USB ports, however it's annoying and reliability is questionable. In fact https://github.com/openstf/setup-examples does that but some people are having issues.

The adb port forward thing may or may not work, but you could do pretty much the same thing with socat or similar common tools. Or try setting the ADB_HOST and ADB_PORT environment variables and STF will try to use those. Functionality is untested, though.
