A Dockerized SANE/AirSane scanner server.

This Debian-based Docker container contains daemons for SANE and AirSane.

This Docker container takes in the following environment variables:

• SANED_ACL (required): the IP range of hosts that are allowed to access the daemon.
• SANED_DEVICE (required): the device (as reported by scanimage -L) to broadcast to the network.
• SANED_DLL (optional): values used to overwrite /etc/sane.d/dll.conf for a faster saned response.

An example CLI usage is shown below:

docker run --device /dev:/dev --privileged -e SANED_ACL="192.168.0.0/24\n10.0.0.0/8" -e SANED_DEVICE="hpaio:xxx" -e SANED_DLL="hp\hpaio" sesceu/saned

It is important to make sure that the device node (e.g. /dev/usb/00x/) has group ID 7 (lp) and group read access.
