Docker: missing module solaredge_modbus

[mickvandijke]

Hi @addiejanssen ,

First of all, thank you for this great plugin! I have been using it for some weeks and it works perfectly.

Issue

Today however, I wanted to move my Domoticz installation to a Docker container and ran into the following error message after installing this plugin: Error: SolarEdge Inverter: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'solaredge_modbus'.

This is of course because after running sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt, all the modules will be installed to the global module folder. The Docker container has no access to these globally installed modules.

Fix

To fix it, I had to install the requirements using sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt -t .. This will install the modules in the current directory (domoticz-solaredge-modbustcp-plugin) where the Docker container can access it!

Proposal

Maybe it would be better to change the instructions to use sudo pip3 install -r requirements.txt -t ., so that others do not run into this issue.
