See this: [Execute fswebcam running Node Red in Docker](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/execute-fswebcam-running-node-red-in-docker/17395)

The issue is of course because of the isolation a docker image provides.

If you dont _need_ docker, then install node-red directly on the PI and it will work without having to jump through hoops.
