ZM in docker with docker-compose

[nic0]

Hi,

i just want to share my setup with working docker from linuxserver.
if this post is not allowed then please delete it - here it goes.

i want to run my ZM in docker, as i do with a lot of other application, most of them are from linuxserver.
for handling all my container, with updated/change settings and updates i use docker-compose

its pretty simple, start with getting a clone of zoneminder from linuxserver on github in the wanted folder you want it to be handled
git clone https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-zoneminder.git
edit root/etc/cont-init.d/30-config and change the timezone

Code: Select all

# set php timezone
PHP_TZ=${PHP_TZ:-Europe/Copenhagen}

save and exit.
now return to the folder where the Dockerfile is located create a file called docker-compose.yml and edit it and paste this in, with your edit needs

Code: Select all

version: '3'

services:
  zoneminder:
    build: .
    container_name: zoneminder_ioserver
    restart: always
    ports:
      - 8000:80 #change the first port to where you want it
    environment:
      - PGID=1001
      - PUID=1001
    volumes:
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
      - ./config:/config
      - /path/for/your/image/video/saving:/data #change for where you want all capture file to be stored
    shm_size: 4096M #edit it for fit your memory needs normally half of your totally memory

im not a shark with linux, but this work perfect for me, and my data path is pointing at my nas server.

Greetings, when i tried to run this docker-compse it was telling me that version"3" was incorrect. so i changed it to version "2" and its pulling fine?
Any ideas why and the difference?
Thanks in advance

Happy to hear it works for you
From version 2 to 3 they added and remove sim features and some codes stop worked but you didn’t ran into any of them. What I could be worried about is the shm size have changed in you’re Docker container. Try to “Docker exec -I -t <containterid> bash” the is can you see by typing “Docker ps” type “df-h”

Here you can read more about Docker version 2 and 3 differently
https://docs.docker.com/compose/compose ... ersioning/

I ran into some Timezone problem when storing my video/image. I think i got it fixed. I’ll post and update of my Docker-compose later

I'm using this docker-compose file. You don't need to rebuild it manually since you can use ENV-variables to define the timezones.

This is basically the same as the topic starter his config, but I also configured TZ and PHP_TZ to my timezone. I also think 4GB of shared memory for zoneminder is a lot. For two HD camera's, I've seen 512MB to be enough.

Code: Select all

version: "3"

services:
  zoneminder:
    container_name: zoneminder
    image: linuxserver/zoneminder
    ports:
    - "8081:80"
    volumes:
    - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
    - ./config:/config
    - ./data:/data
    environment:
    - TZ=Europe/Brussels
    - PHP_TZ=Europe/Brussels
    - PUID=1000
    - GUID=1000
    shm_size: 512M
    restart: unless-stopped

the reason i added so much memory was that i want alot of og Pre- Post events from the recording and that means "use" more memory, beside that i want it in 1080 with OK framerate
but yeah turn it down after your need.

glad its any use for you guys.

cheers

Hi,

I have been running Zoneminder in Docker for a while but was required to re-install my server.

Running the same docker compose but getting issues.

The docker-compose

Code: Select all

version: "2"

services:
  zoneminder:
    container_name: zoneminder
    image: linuxserver/zoneminder
    ports:
        - "8888:80"
    volumes:
        - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
        - /data/disk1/zoneminder/config:/config
        - /data/disk1/zoneminder/data:/data
    environment:
        - TZ=Europe/Stockholm
        - PHP_TZ=Europe/Stockholm
    shm_size: 1024M
    restart: always

Output:

Code: Select all
