|
|
|
Storage tab is used to setup storage areas for recorded Events. To add a new area use the Add New Storage button.
|
|
|
|
By default storage on local drive is automatically set up on installion. When no area is specified events will be
|
|
stored to a default built-in location, which for example on Ubuntu is /var/cache/zoneminder/events.
|
|
|
|
Name: Storage names - can be anything
|
|
|
|
Path: String path to storage location for example /media/Videos
|
|
|
|
Url: Used for S3 communication - format ``s3fs://ACCESS_KEY_ID:SECRET_ACCESS_KEY@s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com/bucket-name/events``
|
|
|
|
Supported storage types:
|
|
- Local
|
|
- Local/mounted or network storage in local network
|
|
- s3fs
|
|
- S3 mounted drive
|
|
|
|
Some users may require more advanced storage such as S3 provided by amazon or others.
|
|
|
|
S3 storage setup
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
You must use s3fs to mount the S3 bucket in your fs tree. Telling ZoneMinder that the location is S3 will let it use
|
|
more efficient code to send and delete the event data.
|
|
|
|
Refer to this guide for installation and configuration of s3fs - https://github.com/s3fs-fuse/s3fs-fuse
|
|
|
|
Adding credentials to passwd_file
|
|
|
|
Create credentials file ``echo ACCESS_KEY_ID:SECRET_ACCESS_KEY > /etc/passwd-s3fs``
|
|
|
|
Set file permissions ``chmod 600 /etc/passwd-s3fs``
|
|
|
|
|
|
S3 mounting with fstab
|
|
``s3fs#bucket_name /media/S3 fuse _netdev,allow_other,uid=33,url=https://s3.ca-central-1.amazonaws.com,passwd_file=/etc/passwd-s3fs,umask=022 0 0``
