Thanks for the inputs. Indeed the context is (was) to replace (not add) a disk, in a methodical manner that would prevent as possible to avoid cpu spikes that would interfere with capture/record and a potential to put the db in an inconsistent state. I am unable to add the disk in this instance, can ...

I installed fairly recently on a headless ubuntu server 24.04 virtual machine without problem. The instructions work but you have to he technically minded, I would agree with that.
Suggestion: get a practice run with a virtual machine on say, virtualbox.

The new disk has arrived and the long SMART test will finish tomorrow, when I hope to install it for Zoneminder.
Any other thoughts anyone? Just yank old, put new one in and let audit repair the database? Anything better?

thank you for the input. I have just shy of 1600 events in total. Each is about 1.2 GB in size. I haven't looked yet if I can add the disk but it's possible that I can't and have to replace. Number of SATA ports depending. However what I want to avoid is the cpu spike. No need to burn electricity if ...

Hi. I had to give up trying to setup motion detection a long time ago. I've been mocord since. I have two cameras mocording on a smallish 2 TB GB drive that gives me only 5 days for the events. I am awaiting delivery of a new drive. I am OK with losing all events when I replace the disk. The ...

you could try and see what the db has first before going nuclear.

You've done well there. I have only worked with IPv4. I am of the opinion that IPv6 is a royal pain in the back. I disable it everywhere in my network. I know I am in a dinosaur meantality minority and should get with the times but I just can't get on with IPv6. Necessary but badly architected in my ...

This looks good. You'll start understanding bit by bit. I'll highlight what this has told us: I turned the Firewaal back on. I'm starting to understand it all less and less. So turn off the firewall and turn it back on again. I don't understand the terms ip a ip route dig example.com at all. I see a ...

Doesn't seem permissions related so far to me. First block seems to be ffmpeg unable to deal with the image/stream type. Second is a well known one, link on it but I would first focus on first and last. Last one might be either a misconfiguration of nginx or zm to connect to it, or simply that nginx ...

So this is ubuntu, right? let's go from the top, to see how is doing its network things. Commands from $ are as normal user, from # are from elevated (root) or sudo. let's find out its ip address: $ip a this ip address needs to be in the range of your router. You can log in to your router admin ...

may I respectfully suggest to go over the installation steps?
There are various places where settings need to be correct for the data to be saved. From config of the storage to permissions. Perhaps you can then narrow down the problem.

" but no live views are working. "
What does it show on the UI ? I recently had a problem after a reinstall (Ubuntu though) and the problem was down to the webserver (Apache).
So it is is important to understand what is happening. Webbrowser built-in tools are useful. I was getting 404s

probably the pc had no DNS or no gateway configured correctly or both. A typical result of router change when the clients haven't been "made aware" by restarting their dhcp clients.

Thank you. I spent so much time and effort before to do the zones and settings for motion detection that I could never get right. In the end I pretty much gave up. Since then cameras are on mocord. I need to get a larger disk to keep more events though. My main problem is very variable weather, a ...

Perhaps nothing to do with it but maybe time is something to check as well.
I had as ususal had to go and fix it when we had the change to BST (I am in the UK). If anytning it might be the reason for events out of order/time jumping.
