How to Build a Zoneminder-master Docker-Image with MYSQL 8 & MSMTP We observed that most of the Linux software have compatibility problems due to dependency issues when operating systems are upgraded.  To overcome dependency issues and to avoid conflicts with the default system structure of the OS , the Docker-images play an important role. Since the official Zoneminder eoan has Dependency wait on lgw01-amd64-051 , I thought of developing a docker-image  with MYSQL 8 & MSMTP and push to docker hub  .

There is a problem in the present PHP release which make errors with the “caching_sha2_password” introduced in the Mysql 8 by default . Please refer the following link https://www.php.net/manual/en/mysqli.requirements.php Therefore , we will have to use “mysql_native_password” method in Mysql 8. First of all we will have to install mysql-server-8 on Ubuntu 19.10 and enable mysql_native_password The installation  of mysql-server-8.0 can be done using the synaptic package manager . Figure:-1 Installed mysql-server-8 shown in synaptic package manager Then open the Ubuntu terminal sudo su rm /etc/mysql/my.cnf cp /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf /etc/mysql/my.cnf gedit /etc/mysql/my.cnf Then enter the following line below [mysqld] on the opened my.cnf file and save the file [mysqld] default_authentication_plugin= mysql...

According to my configuration of camera4.conf , the video clips of motion detection events are stored automatically  in a folder (motion) at ~/Videos/motion of the computer. My target was to select most resent video clip in ~/Videos/motion and to send email alert attached  with the video clip. For the purpose of easy emailing purpose  I have decided to create a sub folder called “sub” under ~/Videos/motion ( ~/Videos/motion/sub) to copy selected the latest video clip in to it. Then an Ubuntu script file was prepared to do the above two steps I have tried two methods in two alternative script files successfully ,where the details are appended below. The script files were placed at ~/Documents folder of the computer Method 1 Name of the file mewinu.sh Scripts in mewinu.sh are listed be...
