FEAT: Storage API & Frontend

[NickM-27]

I think it would be really cool to have a storage page in the frontend that displays the storage used by each camera so it is easier to visualize how that cameras retention settings contribute to overall storage use. Perhaps in a future PR management could be added but for now I think the information is helpful.

ToDo:

• Add Storage API
• Create storage route

Oh wow, this is amazing! One suggestion would be to also display the total space, consumed space, and available space in human readable bytes. Or even in percentage as well.

The storage is slow to calculate I assume due to dockerized file system. du -h from the same location is almost instant on my host and takes ~10 seconds inside the container. Doesn't seem that there is much I can do about this

Out of curiosity:

Inside of the Hass addon.

One thing is I need the depth to be full so that I can accumulate the camera directories sizes

This is what I see:

Host

Container

It might be better to run this command on stats initialization, include it in stats, and then just use that for the page. Maybe have it refresh every few minutes or something 🤔

Perhaps you can switch to ncdu or duc?

sudo apt install -y ncdu
sudo apt install -y duc

They have optimizations in speed over du which most likely is worth it.

Thanks, ncdu appears to be faster and I think can work with the way I am using it

With the new segment calculation in StorageMaintainer it makes this incredibly quick and simple so an external tool is no longer needed.

I am going to look in to a different frontend tool for displaying this info since it is clunky and I can't get good results

I decided not to go with the graph / bar component. Seemed too random / difficult to work with and I think it is better that the styles match the new system page.
