Hi, I'm just barely getting started with zoneminder and need a bit of help.  I am trying to set up cron in zm to automatically change the state at specific times.  This is from this page: http://www.adeptus-mechanicus.com/codex/contrib/ro-zmind/ro-zmind.html

 

 

Is this related to what you are asking about adding the php-curl package?  If so, is the php-curl package needed for what I'm trying to do?  If not, should I be able to set up the cron changes above without add it?

 

My eventual goal is to figure out a way to record using motion detection during certain hours, but not the hours I'm normally home.  I would also really like to be able to easily turn off recording  during the times I'm home "off hours".

 

Thanks for all your work on this!

Scott

 

I really don't know anything about the link so I can't comment on it.  From what I saw it just uses cron to perform some tasks.  It doesn't look like it has anything to do with the php-curl package.

I was asked to add the php-curl package to the Docker for this script:

https://forums.zoneminder.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=25499&p=102289#p97465

It looks like it changes the cameras to Modect when you are away from home and back to Monitor when back home.  I don't know if this is interesting to anyone here, but let me know and I'll see about including the script in the Docker.

 

I looked at the script and I'm not sure I am comfortable with it.  It appears that the Zoneminder credentials are hard coded in the script.  This may pose a security risk.

I don't use Linux very often so when I do there is always a learning curve.  After a while I love it but then I don't use it for a while and have to start all over again the next time. :-)

 

I got the scheduling process all up and going (it was cron only) along with the email notifications.  So far, so good!  I personally would like the script to change the state from your phone location added but you know much better what you're looking at.  If you think it's a security risk, I would rather not have it.

 

Thanks again!

I'm getting what appears to be to be some kind of mysql error on first install:

I saw some posts on other forums about a bad upgrade script in the past...but that don't sound like the answer to me. 

 

Any ideas?

It looks like you're updating an older existing Zoneminder installation.  That won't work because the appdata layout is changed.

What's weird is this is my first install, tho it's possible I had an old one at some point. (the docker was deleted but maybe it left stuff behind) I'll delete everything and start over and see what that does.

Be sure any Zoneminder appdata folders are removed.  That's where the remnants would be located.

That appears to be exactly what it was. When you delete a docker "image" it does not clean up the appdata directory. Once I removed that and started over it worked great. 

 

Thanks for the help! 

 

Has anyone gotten email (gmail) to work in ZM 1.30.4 docker?

It looks like I need to install ssmtp in the docker.

 

EDIT: I'm working on updating the docker and will add ssmtp.  The ssmtp configuration files will be at appdata/Zoneminder/ssmtp.

Did you follow the instructions for setting up the ssmtp email in the first post?  The mailutils package is installed so you can test your email.

I've tried following the email setup that you linked to in your original post.  I can not send email from my unraid CLI with the "mail" command but can with this:

echo "Subject: Test message" echo "test text" | ssmtp [email protected]

You have to set up and test the Zoneminder email inside the Docker with the Docker cli, not the unRAID cli.

 

to get into the docker from the unRAID cli:

docker exec -it Zoneminder bash

Then test your email.

Ok, I knew it had to be something along those lines... I got logged into the docker and can send test email manually but when I set up a filter to email on an event (which I'm not sure I did correctly) I get the following message in the syslog inside the docker:

 

Dec  5 22:15:45 aeb2d1aae291 zmfilter[601]: ERR [Can't send email: SMTP Failed to connect to mail server: Connection refused
 at /usr/bin/zmfilter.pl line 817.]

Check your credentials.

Check your credentials.

Issuing the  echo "Hello, World" | mail -s "My email check" [email protected] command is successful while logged into the docker.  Wouldn't that prove credentials are good?

Maybe I don't know what else you are referring to.

Try the Zoneminder forum.  The link is on the first post.

Is it possible to attach a webcam to unraid and passthrough it to zoneminder? Thanks!

I've never tried anything like that.  I would check the Zoneminder forums and ask there.  The link is in the first post.

In order to use physical devices in docker, the host has to load the drivers first. Unraid doesn't have usb webcam drivers. 

 

That's why for dvb tuners, community is compiling and distributing custom unraid kernels with dvb driver support

Edited December 11, 20178 yr by aptalca

I have updated the Zoneminder Docker to include the zmNinja Event Notification Server.  Zoneminder can now push events to your iOS and Android devices.  There is a description of the event notification server in the first post.

 

EDIT: You will have to get the default template from CA and re-install Zoneminder to  enable port 9000 for the event notification server.

Edited February 5, 20188 yr by dlandon

I have changed the Docker to set the zmNinja Event Notification Server to secure by default.  A self signed certificate is generated and used for the Event Notification Server.  You can now also access Zoneminder securely using https.  The same self signed certificate is used for the https access.  You can supply your own certificate and copy it to config/keys.

Dlandon,

 

First off, thank you for all your work on this so docker. I've been spending the last week or so getting it up and running and it works beautifully. 

 

I'm getting to the point where I'd like to schedule camera modes, and have found that the recommended way to do this is with a line in the crontab file, like the following:

 

0 05 * * * /usr/local/bin/zmpkg.pl Daytime

 

The issue is the zmpkg.pl file doesn't exist when installed as a docker in unraid. Is it possible you could add it to the /mnt/user/appdata/Zoneminder/Control folder? Does it exist within the docker image?

Here's a listing of files in my usr/bin directory.

No sign of zmpkg.pl. I've scoured the unraid directories extensively and haven't found it anywhere. The "find" command has no luck either. Should I attempt a reinstall? I'm running Zoneminder v1.30.4, on unraid v6.4.0. And I'm pretty sure the docker is up to date.

It's in the docker image, not in unraid.
