Hi, I received some emails about the new docker image that was released with a (mostly) functioning machine learning system along with the ES.

 

I though I'd post a message so that everyone trying it out can follow along (I am the author of the ES+hook system):

 

1. When the ES (Event Server =/usr/bin/zmeventnotification.pl) sends a notification, you can choose to embed a picture in the notification (can't be http or self signed HTTPS). That URL setting is picture_url in /etc/zm/zmeventnotification.ini. Note that the default certificates generated by this docker image will not work if you want picture notifications. You need to replace them with proper certificates like those from Lets Encrypt.

 

2. If you want to enable "hook_pass_image_path" path in zmeventnotification.ini, you need to be running ZM 1.33 or above. This docker image (as of Sep 20, 2019) is for 1.32 - the last stable ZM release. In short, it won't work. What this option actually does is when the ES invokes the hook script (/usr/bin/detect.py), it lets the script know the file system path of the current event that is being passed for object detection. This path is retrieved by the ES using a feature only available in ZM 1.33+. When /usr/bin/detect.py runs & if it finds an object of interest in the image(s), then it will write an image file to that path called 'objdetect.jpg' which is basically the image where it found an object and a bounding box around the object of interest. This is then shown both in zmNinja and ZoneMinder as an image with boxes around the object. None of this will work for you in ZM 1.32. It will magically start working when this docker image  is upgraded to the next version of ZM.

 

3. Next up, after detection is run, and it found something, the result is sent back to the ES. Lets say its "detected: car". This is prefixed to the existing motion notes of ZM in the DB. This feature works in 1.32 as well as is _not_ related to hook_pass_image_path at all.

 

4. If you are having issues, please read the documentation on ES and the hooks - including how to run it in manual mode and enabling debug logs 

 

Yes, it's a little convoluted the way it is today. I could have made it simpler, but its what it is at the moment

 

I don't follow this forum at all  - stopped by to clarify a few things. If you have questions specific to the machine learning stuff, you may want to ask in the ZoneMinder slack forum incase you are not able to resolve it here.

Hi @dlandon, There's a problem with the generated certificate - Chrome does not allow access to Zoneminder at all.

I'm guessing it's because of this? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43665243/invalid-self-signed-ssl-cert-subject-alternative-name-missing/56530824#56530824

 

Any chance the generation could be fixed so that it includes that parameter?

Hello, I am running Unraid /Zoneminder 1.32 When I set the system up I had failed to set the correct timezone in Unraid, it defaulted to Pacific time.

I installed the Zoneminder docker and it is wonderful except for my error. the events are marked as Pacific time.

I have changed the Unraid/Settings/Date and Time to the correct setting, restarted the Zoneminder docker, restarted the server but alas my screw up remains.

I am not an expert at this by any measure. I searched the forum and everything I found said that there are 3 php.ini files that need to have the same entry's, unfortunately I can't find the php.ini files.

 

Any help is appreciated.

Click on the "Basic View" switch on the docker page to switch to advanced view in the upper right corner and then click "Force Update" on the docker.  Check the timezone on the docker start command and see if it is the correct timezone.

Verify the 'ServerName' file in the appdata/zoneminder/keys/ folder contains 'localhost'.

Thank you that worked perfectly!

struggling to setup zoneminder in docker. Please help

I keep getting below error as soon as I try to add a camera (wyze). shm shows 0% on the UI

Sounds like a shm memory issue.  What value do you have set for shm in the docker template?  Click on "Show More Settings" to see.  How much memory do you have in your server?

doesnt seem to be ..i was trying with below docker compose file . Switched to your steps and it is working fine.

Not sure what is wrong. I am going to try again with docker compose and try again 

 zoneminder:
    privileged: true
    image: dlandon/zoneminder
    ports:
      - 8443:443
      - 9000:9000

      - INSTALL_YOLO="0"
      - PUID=${PUID}
      - PGID=${PGID}
      - SHMEM="50%"
    volumes:
      - ${USERDIR}/docker/zoneminder/config:/config:rw

     # - traefik.frontend.redirect.entryPoint=https
      - traefik.docker.network=web
      - traefik.port=80
 

i tried with docker-compose - have same issue. rebuilding with direct docker pull.

Yup, it's there. I switched back to Firefox anyway so it's a non-issue, though.

Firefox gives a warning but it lets me continue at least by adding an exception.

Working for me.  Try again.  Might be a temporary issue.

That screen doesn't look like 1.32.

I am having a little bit of an issue with Zoneminder taking up a lot of space in my docker container and I am not sure why.  Here is my docker container sizes below.

 

 

Also here is my config file...

 

 

bere is one of the errors i am getting inside of zoneminder which i believe is contributing to it

You are storing your data on a UD mounted disk.  I suspect there is a problem with that and the events are being stored in the docker image.  You should map your data to an array share.  Why are you using a UD disk for events?

My thinking although it is probably wrong was that by using a UD the parity disks would not be spinning all the time.  I understand that it is outside the array so I would lose all the data if the disk went bad but I was willing to live with that.  But I see this is causing my docker image to become full.

I use a UD disk and it works great for event storage.

Is there something that you had to change to get event storage on UD disk.

I just pointed to the UD disk in the docker settings. And then I checked the storage settings in the docker so it was ok there.

I have the same issue and localhost is present in the ServerName file. I cannot get past it to even get going.

What problem are you having?

Chrome is throwing NET::ERR_CERT_REVOKED error when trying to access the zoneminder url.
