Do you have an rclone.conf file in your config directory? If so could you share that too (obviously redacting any secrets)?

Hello,

I just made some changes and i'm now getting this:

2022-02-21 12:14:32 [INFO]:unifi_protect_backup.unifi_protect_backup: Starting... 2022-02-21 12:14:32 [INFO]:unifi_protect_backup.unifi_protect_backup: Checking rclone configuration... 2022-02-21 12:14:32 [DEBUG]:unifi_protect_backup.unifi_protect_backup: rclone found: /usr/bin/rclone 2022-02-21 12:14:32 [INFO]:unifi_protect_backup.unifi_protect_backup: Connecting to Unifi Protect... 2022-02-21 12:14:32 [INFO]:unifi_protect_backup.unifi_protect_backup: Setting up purge task... 2022-02-21 12:14:32 [INFO]:unifi_protect_backup.unifi_protect_backup: Listening for events...

is this enough for it to backup?

My config:

Changes in docker :SMB:/mnt/remotes/Backup/ProtectBackup/

I made this file on the config location:

And it seems to record. Did i setup everything correctly?

Keeping you updated. It made a location as stated above in de docker container instead of a connection to my NAS

So i made a Path that connects /ProtectBackup/ to my NAS and made a change in my template:

This fixed it and its now writing to my NAS.

Thank you for this amazing product!

Is there a way to keep a max of 30 days of footage?

It's a requirement for my country (NL)

ep1cman commented 2 years ago

Ok so what you are trying to do if I understand correctly is to save the clips locally to your unraid instance?

If that is correct then I have a few observations:

1) I wouldn't name your rclone remote "SMB" because it won't actually be using SMB, because it is of type=local all rclone is doing is copying files. So for example:

[local]
type = local

2) The rclone destination when using the local type, will be a path INSIDE the container. For example local:/clips

3) You will then need to create a path in unraid to map the path from the previous step to your unraid array: Host path = /mnt/user/{your path} Container path = /clips

Set the container variable RCLONE_RETENTION to the value 30d

You almost got it.

I have the following hardware:

  1. UDM Pro
  2. Synology NAS
  3. Unraid Server

The way it's working currently:

The unraid server hosts the docker that captures the images using your amazing tool (Thank you again!). The unraid server got a NFS connection setup to the Synology NAS

I made a Path config in the docker that maps /ProtectBackup to my Synology NAS

I then made a config that just copies the footage to the selected drive as mentioned

Just changed the naming sceme to "local" instead of "SMB"

ep1cman commented 2 years ago

Im glad you got it working! If you continue to face issues feel free to re-open this, or open a new issue.

Just to let you know there will be a new release later today that has some improvements to stability, so keep an eye out for that!

Hi, Just wanted to point out there is now an official unraid docker in community apps
