Note: This repository has been abandoned for quite a while now as I no longer own any Dell servers. tigerblue77 has created an excellent fork that improves heavily on what I did here. I recommend you use that instead.
To use,
docker run -e IDRAC_HOST=<host ip> -e IDRAC_USER=<username> -e IDRAC_PW=<password> -e FAN_SPEED=<dec or hex fan speed> alombardo4/idrac-fan-control:latest
FAN_SPEED can be set as a decimal or hexadecimal value (0x00 to 0x64). Default value is 5 (%).
