ZoneMinder - state-of-the-art video surveillance software system
-
@humptydumpty some - as in partial - good news
I have an initial package of Zoneminder for Cloudron
Distinctly ALPHA
There are some issues- CSS / skins rendering
- managing complex Zoneminder configs
- authentication (ZM auth does not work currently, interim Cloudron proxyAuth being used)
Biggest issue for me : I know nothing about Zoneminder !
But I can see it would be useful for my network, so am delving into it.If you want to be bleeding edge, and don't mind issues, I can share but you probably want to wait a bit, as I can't provide support while I am getting it at least to BETA.
Help testing it at that point would be great.I am away for a week shortly, so may have to pick this up after return.
EDIT #1 : cloudron proxyAuth implemented as temporary measure
EDIT #2 : more errors than I saw initially - maybe it's pre-alpha
@timconsidine This is going faster than I expected
I would love to test it, but I don't know how to install custom apps on my Cloudron. -

Solved a lot of issues this morning but still working on some more

Update on packaging :
- got a camera mostly working
- but some fairly fundamental issues about how Zoneminder handles runtime issues with hardcoding to read-only locations
- working to resolve them

@timconsidine
I bought an additional cam to play with so I'm ready for testing when you are! -
without hijacking the thread, I recently came accross this which I think could be considered as a potential alternative: https://www.scrypted.app/ and though it might be worth mentioning. while the core app is open-source and dockerizable, the NVR plug-in is not and subject to a subscription, as far as I can see.
Possibly this could make for another app in the wishlist, should there be interest.

@Neiluj it looks pretty cool especially if you're into home automation - it's worthy to be added on the wishlist! Go for it!
I didn't see any pricing info though. Are you sure the NVR feature is sub-based?NVM. Scrypted NVR License $ 40 per year -

@timconsidine any progress on this?
@humptydumpty I’ve been ill last 3 months so not really any progress, sorry. Slowly improving, so I will try to pick it up again.
Would like it for my own deployment so have not abandoned it -

I'm picking Zoneminder back up today to try to overcome the last packaging issues.
