I'm trying to run https://github.com/mart1nro/joycontrol to spoof joycons from my PC. I'm trying to run it in a Linux (ubuntu:18.04) Docker container running in Windows 10 but it can't seem to find the Bluetooth devices. Here's my simple Dockerfile: https://github.com/juharris/joycontrol/blob/master/Dockerfile in there you can see the docker run commands that I tried. I tried with --net=host --privileged and --net=host --cap-add=SYS_ADMIN --cap-add=NET_ADMIN.

The error I get is: OSError: [Errno 97] Address family not supported by protocol.

Any suggestions to get Bluetooth working through a Linux container on Windows or joycon spoofing alternatives would be greatly appreciated.

I'm in exactly the same situation. I need to use bluetooth inside a Docker container that is running inside a Windows 10 machine. Have you had any success? – Salivan Dec 03 '20 at 18:23
@Salivan after lots of searching, I've seen many people conclude that it's not possible yet, sorry. – Justin Harris Dec 04 '20 at 19:10
thanks for your response. – Salivan Dec 04 '20 at 19:56
