Try to view a recording.

Sounds like a Docker problem, rather than ZM. There’s no real Docker support here.

Login to the container. Usually that error means the folder doesn't exist or the folder has the wrong permissions.

Code: Select all

docker exec -it <containername> /bin/bash

It can also be due to a bad filter. If you have a filter that deletes events as they are created, it deletes the directory while ZM is still writing to disk. So it fails.

What is a good filter to keep my disk usage below 70%? I tried changing the purge filter to delete items older than two days but maybe I messed it up…
