issue running in docker on Sonoff iHost

[roger-richards]

Allow me to elaborate on my environment and use case: I use a Sonoff iHost to integrate devices into Apple Home. iHost, in addition to native functionality which integrates a variety of Zigbee devices, it includes a docker hosting feature. iHost also includes a Matter Bridge for the devices it supports. For instance, I am using iHost to integrate Zigbee IKEA roller shade (without using an IKEA hub) and Zigbee Sonoff light controller and expose it to Apple Home via the integrated Matter Bridge. I am also running Homebridge in a iHost docker to integrate various WiFi devices to Apple Home. Shelly devices make up a large part of my home automation. I've integrated them via two Homebridge plugins but this does not seem to be a supported approach going forward (Shelly Gen3 devices are not supported by any Homebridge plugin.) Shelly recommends matterbridge and has a robust matterbridge-shelly plugin. In order to simplify my Shelly integration and add support for Gen3 devices, I installed matterbrige in an iHost docker. Added matterbridge-shelly via the web gui. It discovers all my Shelly devices. Before I add this matterbridge to my Apple Home, I noticed the two devices integrated via native iHost matter bridge (IKEA shade & Sonoff switch) stopped responding in Apple Home. I stopped the matterbridge docker and these two devices responded again. There seems to be a conflict between iHost Matter Bridge and matterbridge running in docker on iHost. The only log error in the matterbridge log is:

Hi,
first of all thank you for your interest in Matterbridge.
It actually supports all shelly BLU included.

Your setup is clearly super complicated.

I imagine the issue is the mdns.

Too many devices on the same host.

I would try to change matter port in Matterbridge
and see: add -port 5550 to the command line

Or since matterbridge also have matterbridge-zigbee2mqtt plugin… use Matterbridge for everything.
