i see sse here :) thx

knnniggett: no such file

On a side note, if you ever need to make changes to any systemd service file, make a copy and put it under /etc/systemd/system, and edit that file instead. That will override the copy that ships with the package and it won't get overwritten after a package upgrade (see the systemd docuemntation)

yeah I should have, I guess I was testing and then forgot about it

/etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/zoneminder.service

odd path

ah I remember now, Restart=always

I can't imagine a situation where I want zoneminder to stop and stay that way

You want zoneminder to stop and stay stopped if mysql goes away. You also want zoneminder to stop and stay stopped if the events folder goes away (particularly important when the events folder is remote)

well, it can't start if mysql goes away anyway

but if zm is already running.... you definitely want it to stop

knnniggett: wouldn't that mean on-failure would be more suitable than on-abnormal? since it also includes unclean exit code?

if on-failure is used, then it should stay stopped if it was a clean exit code

Maybe. Haven't played with the options enough to know.

on-abnormal seems to ignore unclean exit code

i had an update that stopped mysql a few months back

I have sketchy iscsi storage and my server wants to stop all the time

because not enough IOPS

knnniggett: will the systemd file I just copied into /etc/systemd/system overrride the one in /etc/systemd/system/multi-user.target.wants/ ?

That's what the sytemd documentation says to do

oh ok

cmake of 1.30.3 fails, https://pastebin.mozilla.org/9020618

hmmm

same error output cmaking 1.30.0, but the makefile is generated nonetheless

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:13 (message):

The git submodules are not available. Please run

git submodule update --init --recursive

from a release tarball?

if I manually clone the repo and, checkout 1.30.3 and do "git submodule update --init --recursive" cmake works. how come there are such issues with both 1.30.2 and 1.30.3 release tarballs?

pos that submodule stuff is standard practice, and is documented.

because the tarballs do not include the code for a bunch of stuff that we use

github should really allow a way to turn off release tarballs

Hi. I'm thinking of building a raspi(opi zero)-based security camera that would store files remotely via some ftp. I could mount ftp and set it as output location, but I guess it won't do the job if someone steals the camera? Not sure what soft to use yet.

can it like, save a .jpg snapshot every second there's motion, independently of video, which likely would be one long file that wouldn't be saved if someone removed the cam?

hmm... or I could likely use the raspi/opi just to share the camera over lan and record it on the server where it's stored

vegii you can do any of the above. A little googling will find lots of examples. I personally just put zm on the pi and store over nfs.

Cool. I guess exposing a mjpeg stream and grabbing it from the server is the way to go. Would be very cool to see this done on an esp8266 and ov7670... I think someone even did it...

what a time to be alive
