Install In Docker

motionEye comes with a Dockerfile and a sample docker-compose.yml, both in the /extra directory of the project (https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneye/tree/master/extra).

If you like contribute or testing motioneye project, you can use the docker container.

Instructions

1. clone your fork or official motioneye project

    git clone https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneye.git
   

2. Build your motionEye Docker image from the Dockerfile.

    # enter project folder
    cd motioneye
    
    # If you would like build docker image from official project
    docker build -f extra/Dockerfile -t motioneye .
   

Note: If /etc/motioneye/motioneye.conf not exist, it's copied from /usr/share/motioneye/extra/motioneye.conf.sample (Not overwrite the volume)

3. Have a cup of coffee while the image builds :)

4. Either start a container using docker run or use the provided sample docker-compose.yml together with docker-compose.

With docker run:

    docker rm -f motioneye ; docker run -it --name=motioneye \
        --device=/dev/video0 \
        -p 8081:8081 \
        -p 8765:8765 \
        -e TIMEZONE="America/New_York" \
        -v /mnt/motioneye/media:/media \
        -v /mnt/motioneye/config:/etc/motioneye \
        -v $PWD:/usr/local/src/motioneye \
        --restart=always \
        motioneye

With docker-compose.yml:

Edit docker-compose.yml and modify the timezone to your own (A list is available at http://php.net/manual/en/timezones.php).

Also edit the two mount points to a directory in your system. Save the file, and then run:

    docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -p motioneye up -d

Test your developpement:

If you would contribute or test your development, update the code, and rebuild the docker container, see the step 2
