October 26, 201510 yr Author EDIT: I was able to "fix" this by removing all traces of zoneminder form my server and reinstalling. I am having trouble with ZoneMinder. The container installs fine with no errors but when it is started I get this in the logs on the docker page.

October 26, 201510 yr Thank you. Getting the Foscam 8918W control to work seems more challenging now. I get this error. Any thoughts? I tried adding the control as well as a script outlined here http://www.zoneminder.com/wiki/index.php/Foscam_FI8918W but it still does not seem to work "Control response was status = undefined message = /usr/bin/zmcontrol.pl --panspeed=2 --autostop --command=moveConRight --id=2=>"
October 26, 201510 yr Author Thanks for the quick reponse Aptalca.I have tested my IP Camera it works fine. Most users of usb's in docker containers have had success with the --device option and the one to one mapping i.e. -t -i --privileged -v /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb On the google site in https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/docker-user/UsekCwA1CSI/PH5ZftXyTvcJ this is mentioned "Assuming that your host system does that, if you want to use those USB devices in Docker, you need two things: - make this /dev/bus/usb visible to the container, - allow the container to actually open those devices. On my machine, those steps are achieved with: docker run -t -i -privileged -v /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb ubuntu bash Then I can "apt-get install usbutils" and "lsusb" in the container, and see my devices" Is that perhaps what is missing in the Zoneminder container? Thanks flamegrilled, I checked and indeed usbutils is not included in this container. Can you please follow the next steps to see if installing that fixes the issue with the usb camera? If so I'll go ahead and update the container. First, make sure that the option -v /dev/bus/usb:/dev/bus/usb is added to the extra parameters in the container settings Then in unraid terminal, while the container is running, type: docker exec -it Zoneminder bash then do: apt-get install usbutils Then restart the container and see if it picks up the usb camera

Not sure. That might be a question best suited for the zoneminder forums

But I realize I did not expose that folder or make it persistent (didn't realize it existed to be honest) Did you docker exec in to copy the script in there? I'll go ahead and expose the folder into the local folder and push an update in a day or two so it is easier to add new scripts
October 26, 201510 yr I tried doing it through midnight commander but given my limited ability, don't think I did it right at all. I may not have even been in the right folder. That would be great if you could expose that folder, I will make an attempt to use that control once you push the update. Thanks again.
October 28, 201510 yr Author Pushed an update to Zoneminder The perl/ZoneMinder folder is now exposed in the config folder and is persistent. That's where custom perl scripts go. Also included is usbutils for usb camera support although that still needs to be tested.
October 29, 201510 yr Hi, Thanks for the help.I've mapped the usb successfully in the Zoneminder container and can see outside and inside iwth the lsusb command,but the camera is not see on /dev/video0/1/2/3/4/5 etc.I have also tried the various advanced options in the container "--device" and "/dev/bus/usb:/devbus//usb" and nothing works.Maybe I have missed something.
October 30, 201510 yr Hi Could it be that I cannot see the the /dev/v4l/ directory in the Zoneminder container and that the "script" won't find path /dev/video0 it talks about in the ZM logs. I plugged my webcam into an Ubuntu desktop and I can see the camera displayed as a device in /dev/v4l/by-id$ ls usb-0c45_USB_camera-video-index0.

Did try to exec into the container and see if the device is available? Exec instructions are in a recent post in this thread
October 31, 201510 yr apt-get install usbutils.I did all that after your first reply.I see the host(unraid) does not have the /dev/v4l directory so I cannot see the usb camera either.

Update your app to Meteor 1.2.1 by running 'meteor update'. Where do I run this command from in order to update meteor? The container automatically updates meteor (the latest version does). Although I'm not sure what exactly is causing your issue, while going through my logs, I did catch another issue that was preventing a successful git pull. A new version will be out in a few minutes. That might solve your issue as well. If not, post a full log and I'll take a look at it.
November 2, 201510 yr Author There is an update for the PlexRequests container A previous meteor update was preventing git pull (and future updates to PlexRequests). The issue is now fixed. Also note that there is a new web interface available at the dev branch. Keep in mind that it is still in development and may not be stable. If you would like to test it, please read the following post first: https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/comment/1046947/#Comment_1046947 Then you can modify the container settings and change the branch variable from master to dev

November 4, 201510 yr Hey Aptalca, Just playing around with the zoneminder app and I have a question. Can I change where the events are stored (ie. videos/imgs)? In the options menu it has a location listed as DIR_EVENTS and gives a warning about changing it from events. Can I just set up a share in Docker /events /mnt/user/zoneminder and then the events will go to that file? Thanks, Rick

November 5, 201510 yr Author Hey Aptalca, Just playing around with the zoneminder app and I have a question. Can I change where the events are stored (ie. videos/imgs)?

Can I just set up a share in Docker /events /mnt/user/zoneminder and then the events will go to that file? Thanks, Rick The disclaimer in the settings say that the directory cannot be outside of the web root. So one would need a symlink to put it elsewhere. As is, it is actually symlinked to the data/zoneminder/events folder in your config (local data) folder (I had to move it there with a symlink to preserve the data). You can try creating a symlink there and point it to another share.
