Western Digital Hugo in Docker

Run the WD Hugo util inside of Docker. Useful if the host cannot run the binary, like on Debian Trixie.

Guide

Build docker image

$ ./build.sh
# OR
$ docker build -t wd-hugo .

Start docker with the SG device, not the block device.

$ lsscsi --generic
[0:0:12:0]   disk    ATA      HUH721212ALE601  0002  /dev/sdm   /dev/sg13
[0:0:13:0]   disk    ATA      HUH721212ALE601  0002  /dev/sdn   /dev/sg14

$ ./run-with-devices.sh /dev/sg12 /dev/sg13

# OR

$ docker run --device /dev/sg12 --device /dev/sg13 --network none --rm -it wd-hugo /bin/bash

# OR (lazy)

$ docker run --privileged --network none --rm -it wd-hugo /bin/bash

Now can run hugo
