Motioneye Docker

A surveillance solution base on MotionEye Motion and Docker.

It's easy and ready to use. Just plug in a webcam and run this docker, then videos and images will be saved once a motion is detected while a notification e-mail including the recorded video and a preview image will be sent. On top of that, the webcam can be accessed anytime via HTTP live streaming.

Quick Start

Clone this project then cd into it:

git clone https://github.com/jshridha/docker-motion
cd docker-motion

Build or pull the image

Then build your own dockmotion Docker image:

docker build -t motioneye .

Note that a pre-built image is also available:

docker pull jshridha/motioneye:latest

Run the container with configs , e.g.,

docker run -d --name=motioneye \
    --device=/dev/video0
    -p 8081:8081 \
    -p 8765:8765 \
    -e TIMEZONE="America/New_York" \
    -v /mnt/user/appdata/motioneye/media:/home/nobody/media \
    -v /mnt/user/appdata/motioneye/config:/config \
    jshridha/motioneye:latest

Note that:

• The --device flag should be replaced by your webcam's device ID.

• Expose port 8765 to access the motioneye interface

• Expose port 8081 to access the motion api - make sure you replace "webcontrol_localhost on" with "webcontrol_localhost off" in motion.conf

• Mount a volume /config to persist the configuration

• Mount a volume to /home/nobody/media to persist the media (webcam image stills)
