Video surveillance software

Home Assistant has an addon that works with Tapo cams (and likely many others) and allows you to download videos and not have to pay the subs to use their cloud storage. Frigate is very heavy on resources unless you have Google Coral or similar hardware which I have not tried. Motion Eye is OK.

Here's a motioneye docker

Here's the docker run from there converted to compose. Modify as required.

services:
    motioneye:
        ports:
            - 8765:8765
        hostname: motioneye
        volumes:

Quote from Fiocsu

Thank you for your reply!

I'm new to OMV and DockerCompose, so my question is probably silly. So far, I've only used images already created via LinuxServe.io.

Is it possible to add an environment line with a PUID and PGID with the code you've provided, or do I have to create my own image?

Thanks!

Not all images support the PUID/PGID stuff. You have to look at the documentation to see if it's supported. If you need it and it isn't supported, you would have to build your own container, but if you are not used to doing that, there is probably a fairly steep learning curve.

You may not need it unless you are trying to access the files outside of the motioneye software (ie. via a samba share)

Docker-compose does support using something like user: "1000:100" to set a user/group for the container to run as, but I don't know if this will work quite the same as the linuxserver PUID/PGID, and if all the software in the container will honor it. I've never looked into how their containers are built to see what it is doing exactly.

For what it's worth too, the post I made was just taking the rocker run command from the motioneye site and passing it through composerize to generate the compose yaml file.

I'm sort of in the same boat as you, looking for a good ip camera security software to replace an off the rack NVR that I have which is having problems connection to it from mobile devices due to it's age.

I just fired up motioneye myself yesterday to test it, and it does seem easy to configure, I've also looked at shinobi and zoneminder, but I may try holding out to configure frigate, as so far that seems to play the nicest with my cameras on a quick test. The biggest issue with frigate, aside from really needing a coral device if you want to do motion detection, is that it's configuration is all done via a yaml file, and I find the documentation for the configuration is not a clear as it could be, and will probably require more time than I have available right now to wade through it.

I did find someone that is working on a config generator that hopefully is supposed to be releasing soon, (end of Q2 was the target), which would simplify things a lot if it works, but until it releases it's hard to say.
