How to know the Bluetooth MAC address in Alpine Linux

I am deploying a docker in Raspberry Pi 3. Inside docker I need to know the MAC of Bluetooth device. Normally I would find that using




hciconfig | grep "BD Address" | awk ' print $3'




hciconfig is not installed by default inside Alpine Linux. I think it comes under bluez package so I installed by adding following line in my Dockerfile:




RUN apk add --no-cache bluez




But even after that I'm unable to run hciconfig. It says




sh: hciconfig: not found




So, what's the way to install hciconfig in Alpine? Also, if there's another easier way to get the Bluetooth MAC, that would also work.

Alpine package bluez does not include hciconfig any more. It has been deprecated and is available in bluez-deprecated.



Further, one can get BD address from latest bluez using the command:




bluetoothctl list
