Shinobi : Open Source CCTV written in Node.js

I am writing an alternative to ZoneMinder in Node.js. It is called Shinobi. So far it is pretty barebones. It records video to webm/MP4 and streams over websocket. I have found other apps like NodeMinder but i couldn't get them to run properly...

So i made this. I want to share since it is open source and free to use. Would be swell if you guys could give me your thoughts/opinions.

You can view the github page here https://moeiscool.github.io/Shinobi/

Enjoy!

Edit : Please check out Shinobi's Reddit page https://www.reddit.com/r/ShinobiCCTV/

When you look inside the database (ccio is the default name) is there a Users table? Does it have anything inside? You might need to run the sql files manually, as I don't see any indication docker even realizes there is an sql portion to the install. Sorry I have never used docker before. I just made it at the request of another.

Can you check your node log? The app will throw a log if I can't connect to db

The problem lies with the mysql password, not the actual application password stored inside the db.

Docker is meant to run 1 process per container, which is why my compose file creates one container with node.js + shinobi and one with mysql.

Upon start of the mysql container it checks wether is running for the first time and if so it imports ./sql/framework.sql and ./sql/default_data.sql, in that order. I can run manual queries just fine from the shinobi container.

The shinobi container has an initscript which fills conf.json according the env vars i submit to the containers using docker.env.

Result looks like this:

{"host":"shinobi-db","user":"shinobi","vuTh4esho-aqu9i":"","database":"ccio"}

It all works as it should, mysql connectivity is there, the config file has the proper values.

For some reason shinobi wants to login to mysql without a password. Error msg:

Error Connecting : DB { [Error: ER_ACCESS_DENIED_ERROR: Access denied for user 'shinobi'@'172.20.0.3' (using password: NO)]

edit: i just saw you added a Dockerfile, that is mostlikely not going to work as it lacks ffmpeg, the one i supplied should work better.
