Made my first docker template! Would love some feedback

Zero · May 22, 2017

So I'm about to buy a couple of IP camera's and I wanted some nice software to use it with, I used zoneminder but the UI was a killer for me, I saw a post on /r/selfhosted that people liked Shinobi so I decided to make a docker template for it!

To be fair, I haven't even tested it with camera's because I haven't set mine up yet but I would love some feedback if anyone can see something I can clean up. Shout out to the developers for making this software and /r/selfhosted for the idea :^)

How do we install this? Would like to try!

You could copy this XML and use it yourself, I think I cant publish it to the community apps thing because I need to submit it. if you need an explanation I could help you out in a hour or so

Alright if you use a client like WinSCP you can navigate to

/boot/config/plugins/dockerMan/templates-user

and then

create new document (notepad, notepad++ etc.)
paste the XML in there (all that text in my main post)
save it as .xml, so something like "my-shinobi.xml"

Now it should be a docker template so you can add it on the docker template with "add container" and customize it to your liking

If you have any problems I would love to hear it, I'll ask a mod to add it to the apps store soon but I want to make sure this template is "good"

Believe that would be @Squid.

The container works fine. (The email for changing settings in in upper left corner, not right ).
Shinobi doesn't really like 5mp camera's though I think. Does not really run smooth.

If you're stream is lagging you can tune the quality down (1 highest, 25 lowest) and if you're recording, did you change the fps from 5 to higher? because it's 5 on default?

And great to hear the docker is working! Did you use this XML or did you download it from CA? I requested it to be posted on CA but it stopped working so they pulled it, so I would love to hear if you're using this XML or the CA template.

beire · May 25, 2017

I was using the XML. I did not think it would already be available in CA.

I changed FPS to 30 (camera fps). Even on lower quality the stream is choppy.

I am used to streaming multiple camera's in live view at full fps, full quality.

Finding a good free software is not easy.

While it was available within CA, it didn't matter whether or not it was installed via CA or by the template posted above (assuming they were equivalent except for the addition of the Categories) The template within CA is passed straight through to dockerMan. If/when the issues with the docker are resolved (I tried it myself before pulling it, and the same symptoms - nothing in the log at all, no UI, etc) then the app can be reinstated

I'm not saying CA is the problem but I'm just trying to determine where I exactly fucked up. If I want to be sure I don't have any previous files of the docker are left, what directories should I make sure I've deleted? (e.g. dockerman, appdata etc.)

Squid · May 26, 2017

The appdata is the only thing needed to remove. You don't need to worry about the docker.img, as any layers that aren't being used by a new pull won't be used.

Any updates on this ? I would also love to run Shinobi as a docker

I got it working changing the following - ports changed in bright green

Hi bennymudz.

I used your updated docker template for shinobi but without luck. Shinobi doesn't start and there is no logs Could you re-check it?

Made my first docker template! Would love some feedback
