June 10, 20251 yr I had to manually create & pass volumes for event_clips, thumbnails, snapshots, & segments, then the container started working.I had to delete a bunch of variables from the template when I created the container (they didn't apply to me), but I swear none of these paths were in the default template...I can't tell if the recordings volume is actually even used for anything in this image; the container doesn't auto-create the missing volumes within the recordings directory.But I got the container to start, and once I got my cameras to behave, they were visible through the Viseron webUI.
June 15, 20251 yr Author Sorry for the delayed response! I dont hang out much here since i do not use Unraid.That is also the reason for your other issues, the template is outdated now that v3+ is out. Ill see if i can fix the template but there is no way for me to test which is less than ideal sadly.
June 15, 20251 yr Author Made some changes to the template. Hopefully the formatting is correct.Will convert the image to a PNG but cant push it yet since i have other changes pending locally

I simply added the paths to the container manually like Porkey suggested above and the container started and I got into the web UI.
October 7, 2025Oct 7 Author I am not too familiar with Unraid sadly, but the template has the folders defined for v3+.Is there some sort of refresh needed in the CA store for it to pick up the new version of the template?
October 19, 2025Oct 19 @Doak Steezy sorry delay.. what i ment was i tried bothUnraid Docker Ubuntu Dockerso a dedicated pc running Ubuntu with docker installed and visereon installedand i tried Unraid Docker... now the logs above are from the Unraid Docker versionok ill try the porks settings those are the ones you set in the template right?
October 19, 2025Oct 19 @Porkey how did u set it up do you have any pics ? i thought i did what you did but it just errors out and orphans the container
October 20, 2025Oct 20 Author You seem to have a typo in teh snapshots volume mount. You are missing a forward slash there if you look carefully at the docker run command.Unsure how to fix that tho, its not from the template however
October 21, 2025Oct 21 ok thanks for noticing.. since the template never had any of those 4 paths and when i filled them in like proky mentioned i just typed them in didnt notice the / missing and took a guess how it set upsounds good now i can test with reolink cameras the webpage loaded up.. i couldnt get to install right on ubuntu.. but least i can test here.. as the reolink cameras didnt seem to work right with shinobi. and when i googled best os for reolink cameras it said visereon but we shall see lol
October 21, 2025Oct 21 Author Interesting, there is no special handling of Reolinks in Viseron, i know they are a bit finnicky sometimes but they should work.The template has been updated with these new parameters, but it seems its gone from the CA store? Something might be broken. Anyone knows how to check whats wrong?
October 21, 2025Oct 21 ah ok do you know how to setup the reolink.. i found with the shinobi on unraid with the spaceinvader worked well but some things glitching the newest version i had nothing but issues from glitchy video wouldnt record right... was soo frustrating it wouldnt upload or record long enough etc.. and i didnt like zoneminder i couldnt get it to install right.. blueiris worked well but i didnt wanna pay a subscription etc. just for home use i not a business.. so i keep testing each one. ya i not sure how to update you could contact Squid ask him as hes the one you contact when you post a community template.. or ask in the community apps section as i find no one really checks these sub forums.. sometimes i write for help no one replies for a couple months
October 21, 2025Oct 21 @roflcoopter is the recordings path still needed, or is everything going into the clips. Its not listed as a path in the new setup docs?

November 7, 2025Nov 7 Is there some trick to have the Viseron icon show in in the Docker list (it's just showing as a question mark)?The Icon URL in the container is : https://github.com/roflcoopter/viseron/raw/master/docs/static/img/viseron-logo.png which works in a browser.I know it's only cosmetic and everything else seems to be working nicely...ThanksFixed!I have found my issue and the Icon now shows correctly...( while looking for the reason the Hailo model was not downloading I found a firewall issue blocking Viseron's access to the Internet).Thanks Edited November 7, 2025Nov 7 by SG2Unrai48
