The script installs Docker if needed and starts Z-Wave JS UI on port 8230, with a WebSocket server on 3005 and its store in a mounted volume. Note the USB stick is not passed through automatically — you edit the compose file to add your device.
sudo bash zwave-js-ui-ubuntu.sh4 Pass Through the USB Stick and Open the UI
Edit the compose file to map your Z-Wave USB stick (by its /dev/serial/by-id path) into the container, restart, then open the control panel:
