"ZoneMinder the top Linux video camera security and surveillance solution. ZoneMinder is intended for use in single or multi-camera video security applications, including commercial or home CCTV, theft prevention and child, family member or home monitoring and other domestic care scenarios such as nanny cam installations. It supports capture, analysis, recording, and monitoring of video data coming from one or more video or network cameras attached to a Linux system. ZoneMinder also support web and semi-automatic control of Pan/Tilt/Zoom cameras using a variety of protocols. It is suitable for use as a DIY home video security system and for commercial or professional video security and surveillance. It can also be integrated into a home automation system via X.10 or other protocols. If you're looking for a low cost CCTV system or a more flexible alternative to cheap DVR systems then why not give ZoneMinder a try?"

This project is a Raspberry Pi porting of docker-zoneminder created by QuantumObject. The original Dockerfile and startup.sh files have been adapted to work with Raspberry Pi OS. Most instructions stay the same. So if you want, buy him a beer too.

To install docker in Raspberry Pi OS use the commands:

$ curl -fsSL https://get.docker.com -o get-docker.sh
$ sudo sh get-docker.sh

$ sudo usermod -aG docker $USER

Usage

To run with MySQL in a separate container use the command below:

docker run -d -e TZ=Europe/Rome -e MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=zmpass -e MYSQL_USER=zmuser -e MYSQL_PASSWORD=zmpass -e MYSQL_DATABASE=zm --net=host --name zoneminder_db jsurf/rpi-mariadb
docker run -d --shm-size=4096m -e TZ=Europe/Rome --net=host --name zoneminder angeloavv/rpi-zoneminder:latest

The shm size should be 1:1 with your RAM size.

Set the timezone per environment variable

-e TZ=Europe/London

Default value is Europe/Rome .

 -e ZM_DB_USER=zmuser
 
 -e ZM_DB_PASS=zmpass
 
 -e ZM_DB_PORT=3306
