How to Build a Zoneminder Docker Image (with MSMTP) using a Dockerfile & push to Docker Hub , (Ubuntu 19.10)
Posted: Sat Dec 21, 2019 2:05 pm
In this tutorial ,we are going to use “Docker: Enterprise Container Platform” (docker.io) on Ubuntu 19.10.First
Installation of Docker on Ubuntu 19.10
On the Ubuntu terminal
sudo apt install docker.io
Then a zoneminder-docker image is built using a Dockerfile and entrypoint.sh
Dockerfile contains the scripts to install free open-source software Zoneminder and entrypoint.sh has necessary commands to start Zoneminder ,Apache and other services and to keep the docker container running.
I have used my own Dockerfile and entrypoint.sh prepared by Andrew Bauer
The scripts in the Docker file are as shown in the following figure:- 1
Figure:- 1 Scripts in the Dockerfile
For the purpose of building the zoneminder- docker image the files Dockerfile and entrypoint.sh are saved on the Documents folder of the computer as shown in the following figure:- 2.

The Dockerfile and entrypoint.sh can be downloaded from this links

Building the Zoneminder-Docker image ( tagged as “yourzoneminder”)
Open the Ubuntu terminal
cd ~/Documentssudo docker build –tag=yourzoneminder . # Dockerfile
( The process will take about 10-15 minutes)
After the image building process is finished ,you find the image by runng
sudo docker images
For the purpose of identifying the image in the Docker Hub , you will have to tag it with an appropriate name .
In our case ,I have name as “bkjaya1952/docker-zoneminder:v1.32.3.”
sudo docker tag yourzoneminder bkjaya1952/docker-zoneminder:v1.32.3.
Then push the tagged image to the Docker Hub
sudo docker login
Note : first you will have to signup & open a Docker Hub account at https://hub.docker.com/
sudo docker push bkjaya1952/docker-zoneminder:v1.32.3.
Figure:- 3 Tagging and pushing the image to the Docker Hub
Now you can see my pushed image at https://hub.docker.com/repository/docke ... zoneminder
Figure:- 4 Pushed image at the Docker Hub
The instructions to use the image has been entered at the Docker Hub, after the pushing is completed .
Usage of the pushed image bkjaya1952/docker-zoneminder
sudo docker create -t -p 8085:80 --shm-size=4096m -e TZ=Asia/Colombo --name myzm --privileged=true bkjaya1952/docker-zoneminder:v1.32.3.
Note :- use your timezone instead of "TZ=Asia/Colombo"
sudo docker start myzm
Configuring MSMTP for emailing zoneminder motion detection events
Make the following file in the home folder of your computer and copy in to the zm container that you have created by above mentioned commands
Open the Ubuntu terminal and run
sudo gedit msmtprc
# Set default values for all following accounts.
defaults
auth on
tls on
tls_trust_file /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
logfile ~/.msmtp.log
# Gmail
account gmail
host smtp.gmail.com
port 587
from youer gmail address
user youer gmail address
password your gmail password
# Set a default account
account default : gmail
Then copy the created msmtpru file to the folder /etc/ of the zm container as follows
sudo docker cp msmtprc myzm:/etc/msmtprc
Open http://localhost:8085/zm/ and add the camera monitors
And fill up email details under the Optons/email of the ZM-Panel
Create appropriate zm-filter to send email alerts of motion detection events
For entering e mail details and creating zm-filter please refer my following blog ( After the Figure:- 3 in the blog)
