How to change where files saved-Linux NOOB

motionEyeOS Version 0.41

I am running motionEyeOS version: 20120911

Board Model

I am using the following board/model: Raspberry Pi4 B

Camera

I am using the following type of camera: V4L2

My camera model is: Logitech C290

Network Connection

My motionEyeOS unit is connected to the network via: WiFi

Peripherals

I am using the following peripherals that I consider relevant to this issue:

I have 2 Raspberry Pi 4s managed by a PC server running Ubuntu 18.04, MotioEye version 0.41, Motion version 4.2.2

I have everything up and running correctly, no issues there. The question I have is, how do I change where the video files are saved to? I installed MotionEyeos and Motion according to the installation on the wiki, so it saves them to the SD card I believe. Under File Storage it says "Custom Path" Root Directory "/data/output/Camera1" It says that for both of the boards. I would like to save the video and photos to the internal 1TB hard drive I installed specifically for this. It is not the same drive as the OS. I am really new to Linux and don't understand the file structure and naming convention. I have explored the forums and internet but it's like basically reading another language. The 1TB hard drive has a name of /dev/sdb1. When I'm in motioneyeos and click the drop down for file storage I'm presented with 3 options, Custom Path, Network Shares and SL16G 0x1199cb850 (/dev/mmcblk0p3). I have no idea what that 3rd option means. If anyone has any insight into this and is able to explain to me how to change where the files are saved I would greatly appreciate it.

this is also what I am having a hard time figuring out

your drive will be found at /data/media/ as sda(x) or sdb(x) or similar You can check by ssh in to PI and run command df -h in my case it shows [root@meye-f7e06d23 ~]# df -h Filesystem Size Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/root 213.0M 186.8M 11.2M 94% / devtmpfs 369.3M 0 369.3M 0% /dev tmpfs 373.8M 16.0K 373.8M 0% /dev/shm tmpfs 373.8M 1.1M 372.7M 0% /tmp /dev/mmcblk0p3 6.3G 31.2M 5.9G 1% /data /dev/mmcblk0p1 29.9M 14.7M 15.2M 49% /boot /dev/mmcblk0p3 6.3G 31.2M 5.9G 1% /home/ftp/sdcard /dev/mmcblk0p3 6.3G 31.2M 5.9G 1% /home/ftp/storage overlay 6.3G 31.2M 5.9G 1% /usr overlay 6.3G 31.2M 5.9G 1% /var/log overlay 6.3G 31.2M 5.9G 1% /var/lib /dev/sda1 252.0M 52.2M 199.8M 21% /data/media/sda1 /dev/sda1 252.0M 52.2M 199.8M 21% /home/ftp/storage/sda1 /dev/sda2 99.3G 3.4G 91.8G 4% /data/media/sda2 /dev/sda2 99.3G 3.4G 91.8G 4% /home/ftp/storage/sda2

and I would use the line /data/media/sda2 and put in File Storage, Custom Path /data/media/sda2/

Hi,

I am also struggling with this too. I have my df -h below.

Have mounted the large hard drive with,

/dev/sdb1 1.8T 77M 1.7T 1% /mnt/videofiles

I then change the directory in motioneye to /mnt/videofiles/anything

I am unsure if its working as it still shows drive usage as my OS drive, 110gb.

For information I have motioneye as an add on for home assistant supervised on a linux server.

Can anyone help?

Who owns the /mnt/videofiles? run: ls -la /mnt and paste here Who is running the motionEye Application? run ps aux | grep motion

paste the results here.

[starbasessd]

Root owns /mnt/videofiles, Root is running motioneye. Shouldn't be an issue to write there. Let's try: sudo chmod -R 666 /mnt/videofiles (change mode to read/write for root, group root, and everyone) and reboot and test (This is ONLY a test, it's a security risk, too, you don't want to leave in place long term)

How are you mounting the /dev/sdb1 to /mnt/videofiles? manually? /etc/fstab? Can you paste your mount command here or the line from /etc/fstab?

I have tried sudo chmod -R.... and it appears to do nothing. Just requests another command.

Mount command is - /dev/sdb1 /mnt/videofiles ext4 defaults 0 1

This is mounted on boot. Edited within nano /etc/fstab to add above mount command. Have just restarted to make sure its working and a sanity check to make sure that was not the problem. Now updated and has moved to top when doing df -h.

sudo chmod -R 666 /mnt/videofiles It'll request your user password to do root commands. It should then make a change to the /mnt/videofiles system you can check by ls -la .mnt It should show rw-rw-rw-

Ah yes must have been working. Usually giving myself root access with sudo -i

shows;

drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jun 20 14:40 . drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 4096 Jun 11 06:32 .. drw-rw-rw- 3 root root 4096 Jun 20 14:34 videofiles

Funnily enough was just trying that with the default path it gives to see if it is saving the photos.

ls -la -R /mnt/videofiles

root@linuxserver:~# ls -la -R /mnt/videofiles /mnt/videofiles: total 24 drw-rw-rw- 3 root root 4096 Jun 20 14:34 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jun 20 14:40 .. drw-rw-rw- 2 root root 16384 Jun 20 14:34 lost+found

/mnt/videofiles/lost+found: total 20 drw-rw-rw- 2 root root 16384 Jun 20 14:34 . drw-rw-rw- 3 root root 4096 Jun 20 14:34 ..

I can then view the picture browser in motioneye and it shows all of the pictures I have taken. According to the motioneye interface it seems like it is still saving it to the OS drive, showing drive usage as 110gb drive with /mnt/videofiles. Can then delete the photos and the drive usage decreases.

I am at a loss.. I have a VM running Ubuntu 20.04 server [image: image.png] as a hub. I walked you through the same setup I use (250GB secondary drive) [image: image.png] [image: image.png]

I don't know why you are having issues.

I figured we were getting to that, really appreciate the help though.

Unfortunately unable to see the images posted.

Would running motioneye as an add on within home assistant be causing the issue?

Every combination I try just seems to only show the main drive. Other than /dev/sbd1/mnt/videofiles is 0,1gb. Thought that might have worked but does seem to only be 100mb in size.

Yes, there could be something in HA causing the issue, over-riding what you're setting in motionEye. Try checking with them. I tried using HA in the past, but found it over-kill for security software, and my Alexas control everything I have.

Little bit of an update for anyone else that may come accross this. I think it might be because HA puts motioneye into a docker container. You have to mount an additional drive into the docker container for motioneye to see it.

I googled this a bit and decided it was too hard so just used open media vault on a raspberry pi and pointed motioneye to the network share. Tried for ages to samba share within the server but could not get it to work.

Thanks for the help though, learned quite a bit.

Good to know, thanks for the update.
