docker run -d --name meterpi \
    -v /opt/lcarnevale/meterpi:/etc/meterpi \
    -v /var/log/lcarnevale:/opt/meterpi/log \
    --device /dev/i2c-1 \
    --net=host \
    lcarnevale/meterpi

Use also the option --restart unless-stopped if you wanna make it able to start on boot.

How to debug it

Open the log file for watching what is going on.

tail -f /var/log/lcarnevale/meterpi.log
