Using docker run --privileged to host a single USB device


Try --device /dev/bus/usb/002/005.

Side note: Docker version 1.17 from the Ubuntu repository has a bug with option --device that does not set group ownership of a shared device in a container to the same as on the host. If you have issues for this reason, try:

--device /dev/bus/usb/002/005 --volume=/dev/bus/usb/002/005:/dev/bus/usb/002/005

Never use --privileged for anything except short debugging tests.
