Unifi-Video

Instructions for use

Getting docker

Download Docker from here; Install by dragging app to /Applications
(Optional) Right click on the whale in the top menu bar and select “Open Kitematic”, follow the download link and install the app to /Applications

Unifi-Video installation

Because /usr/local is reserved for Docker, the example demonstrates installation of Unifi Video in a manner where the Host Data Volume directories are located in ~/Applications/unifi-video. You can change this to your liking.

NB! If you receive permission errors when executing commands, precede them with sudo

Create the ~/Applications/unifi-video directory
Run in Terminal: docker pull exsilium/unifi-video:v3.9.4

`$ docker images
REPOSITORY             TAG                 IMAGE ID            CREATED             SIZE
exsilium/unifi-video   v3.9.4              1cbeb1e369da        44 minutes ago      869.9 MB

(Optional) Download\Save run.sh from here
Create the following host data directories under ~/Applications/unifi-video
- mkdir mongodb
- mkdir unifi-video
- mkdir log
Review and edit run.sh to make sure the BASEDIR and IP are reflecting your setup. The default 0.0.0.0 binds the ports to all interfaces.
Execute ./run.sh to run the container or execute docker run with the appropriate parameters.

`Checking for Host data volumes: MongoDB-OK | Unifi-Video-OK | Log-OK

You should be able to open the Unifi Video setup wizard using Chrome on https://:7443

Camera provisioning

By default, Docker provides network isolation and due to that the automatic discovery will not work. Directly access your camera IP and enter the host IP of your server where the unifi-video docker image is running.

Upgrade from 3.x.x to 3.9.4

NB! Always create a backup before trying to upgrade! NB! Upgrade scenarios over multiple versions have not been tested! NB! Make sure to read release notes prior to upgrade! NB! Note that, when upgrading to v3.9.4, a new port 7442 was added in v3.8 for secure camera communications. Make sure docker maps this new port when starting and that you handle any additional routing settings you may have to that port.

Stop the running container
Backup your Host Data Volumes (~/Applications/unifi-video)
Pull the latest image docker pull exsilium/unifi-video:v3.9.4
Rename the old container to something else than unifi-video. Refer to docker rename command
Update the run.sh to reflect the new version (v3.9.4)
Start the new image against the same Host Data Volumes by using run.sh or manually calling docker run with appropriate arguments.
