Based on the amazing work by LinuxServer.io, TheHomeRepot aims to provide additional quality, reliable containers.

thehomerepot/ivideon

Ivideon is a free to use (with limitations) VMS.

Usage

Any time you want to create/modify your server settings, you'll need to run this docker command. Configuration is accomplished via X11 forwarding. As long as the user you're executing the docker command from has a proper ~/.Xauthority file and you have an X11 server listening, this will work.

Initialization/Configuration

docker run -it --rm \
--net=host \
-v </path/to/config>:/config \
-v </path/to/recordings>:/archive \
-e PUID=<UID> -e PGID=<GID> \
-e TZ=<timezone> \
-v ~/.Xauthority:/config/.Xauthority \
-e DISPLAY \
thehomerepot/ivideon /app/x11_config.sh

Post-Initializtion

docker run -d -P \
--name=ivideon \
--restart=unless-stopped \
-v </path/to/config>:/config \
-v </path/to/recordings>:/archive \
-e PUID=<UID> -e PGID=<GID> \
-e TZ=<timezone> \
thehomerepot/ivideon

Parameters

The parameters are split into two halves, separated by a colon, the left hand side representing the host and the right the container side. For example with a port -p external:internal - what this shows is the port mapping from internal to external of the container. So -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 http://192.168.x.x:8080 would show you what's running INSIDE the container on port 80.

-v /config - Configuration files
-v /archive - Recordings will be landed here.
-e PGID= for for GroupID - see below for explanation
-e PUID= for for UserID - see below for explanation
-e TZ - for timezone information eg Europe/London, etc

User / Group Identifiers

Sometimes when using data volumes (-v flags) permissions issues can arise between the host OS and the container. We avoid this issue by allowing you to specify the user PUID and group PGID. Ensure the data volume directory on the host is owned by the same user you specify. DO NOT USE ROOT

In this instance PUID=1001 and PGID=1001. To find yours use id user as below:

  $ id <dockeruser>
    uid=1001(dockeruser) gid=1001(dockergroup) groups=1001(dockergroup)

Using the software

You will need to install and run the Ivideon client

Info

Shell access whilst the container is running: docker exec -it ivideon /bin/bash
To monitor the logs of the container in realtime: docker logs -f ivideon
