If you're up for it there's a lot of fiddly work you can do to make your windows serial device exposed with a RFC2217 network server and then mapped as a serial device inside your container. Can see the basic idea here: https://gist.github.com/DraTeots/e0c669608466470baa6c https://gist.github.com/DraTeots/e0c669608466470baa6c You'd want to use hub4com to go serial device -> network server on windows and then socat or ser2net inside the container to go network server -> serial device. I agree though it is entirely too complicated and much more of a pain than it should be in practice.
