February 14, 20188 yr 7 minutes ago, dlandon said: Why do you need to run the cron? What does it do? It changes the running state of zoneminder. Zoneminder allows for the saving of multiple running states, for the purpose of having different cameras running at different times of day. Myself, I would use it to set all my cameras on motion detection at like 9pm daily, and change it to motion detection for only cameras in the front of my house during the day while the dogs are in the backyard. But whats also nice is it would allow any script run in unraid to manipulate the running state of zoneminder automatically just by calling the zmpkg.pl file and naming the running state. Like a security system on a raspberry pi, or something like that.

You are seriously awesome, i really appreciate you being so responsive. Let me know if there is some fancy way to run that script straight from unraid without you modifying the docker image.

February 25, 20188 yr I just installed this and a bit of a newb with it but I cant seem to get it to run. I keep getting this error when i add a RTSP source: Memory map file '/dev/shm/zm.mmap.2' does not exist. zmc might not be running.

March 8, 20188 yr I am completely new to unraid so sorry for the noob questions but I am struggling to get Zoneminder started. When I go to start the Zoneminder docker it will seem like it will start but then stop after awhile. I assume this is because it was failing so I looked at the log which is below. Can someone point me in the right direction as to what I am doing wrong. It looks like I need to set up apache and maybe MySQL but I am not really sure how to do that in unRAID.

March 15, 20188 yr Hi, A problem: I'm trying to activate zmeventmonitor in SSL (zmNinja) but unsuccessful on iOS. It works with the Mac version of znNinja.I installed the certificate manually by sending it to me by email. In the documentation: It's very important to ensure the Common Name selected while generating the certificate is the same as the hostname or IP of the server. For example if you plan to access the server as myserver.ddns.net Please make sure you use myserver.ddns.net as the common name. If you are planning to access it via IP, please make sure you use the same IP. My Common Name contains * but should contain tower.localdomain.net What do you think ?

March 30, 20188 yr Hi, Sadly no dice. Creates the events/images/temp folders and then nothing. Restarted it a few times and tried it using the default setup, to an array disk, to the cache disk and finally to my intended out-of-array disk. Nothing works. From the docker side: root@eaf70ed4c604:/var/cache/zoneminder# ls -al total 0 drwxrwxrwx 5 root www-data 46 Mar 30 09:26 . drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 70 Mar 14 23:42 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root www-data 6 Mar 29 18:44 events drwxr-xr-x 2 root www-data 6 Mar 29 18:44 images drwxr-xr-x 2 root www-data 6 Mar 29 18:44 temp From the server side: root@UnRAID:/mnt/disks/CCTV1/Front_Door# ls -al total 0 drwxrwxrwx 5 root sshd 46 Mar 30 09:26 ./ drwxrwxrwx 3 root sshd 24 Mar 29 18:38 ../ drwxr-xr-x 2 root sshd 6 Mar 29 18:44 events/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root sshd 6 Mar 29 18:44 images/ drwxr-xr-x 2 root sshd 6 Mar 29 18:44 temp/ Is that right?
