Tailscale on MotioneyeOS

Website: Tailscale

Script: S98tailscale

To install or update Tailscale:

• Install Motioneyeos (follow this guide: https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneyeos/wiki/Installation)
• Connect via ssh to your Raspberry Pi where Motioneyeos is installed (eg.: ssh admin@192.168.1.50)
• Run the command:

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/goldfix/motioneyeos_ext/main/src/S98tailscale -o /tmp/S98tailscale && bash /tmp/S98tailscale install

• Reboot your Raspberry Pi (with the command: reboot).
• Connect via ssh to your Raspberry Pi where Motioneyeos is installed (eg.: ssh admin@192.168.1.50)
• Run the command: tailscale up and configure using your Tailscale credentials.

Rclone on MotioneyeOS and Motioneye DietPi

Website: Rclone

Script: rclone_tool.sh

To install or update Rclone:

• Install Motioneyeos or DietPi on your Raspberry Pi (follow this guide: https://github.com/ccrisan/motioneyeos/wiki/Installation or https://dietpi.com/docs/install/)
• Connect via ssh to your Raspberry Pi where you have installed Motioneyeos (or DietPi) (eg.: ssh admin@192.168.1.50)
• Run the command:

curl -L https://raw.githubusercontent.com/goldfix/motioneyeos_ext/main/src/rclone_tool.sh -o /tmp/rclone_tool.sh && bash /tmp/rclone_tool.sh install

• Reboot your Raspberry Pi (with the command: reboot).
• Connect via ssh to your Raspberry Pi where you have installed Motioneyeos (or DietPi) (eg.: ssh admin@192.168.1.50)
• Configure Rclone: rclone_tool config

Parameters

rclone_tool install: installs Rclone on your device. The destination folder of Rclone and configuration files will be: /usr/bin/.

rclone_tool config: configures Rclone, remote and local folders. The configuration procedure has two different steps. The first step configures Rclone and the second step configures the local camera folder and remote folder.

rclone_tool run <copy|move> <RCLONE_NAME_DEST>: runs Rclone. It's possible to copy or move files. Requires the destination Rclone configuration (same used to configure it). This command is useful to be configured and scheduled with cron.

Configuration files

Two different configuration files will be create after configuration:

• /usr/bin/rclone.config: contains the credentials to access to remote folder.
• /usr/bin/rclone_local.config: contains the local data camera folder and remote folder. This file is used from command: rclone_tool run <copy|move> <RCLONE_NAME_DEST>.

Sample Cron configuration

# .---------------- minute (0 - 59)
# |  .------------- hour (0 - 23)
# |  |  .---------- day of month (1 - 31)
# |  |  |  .------- month (1 - 12) OR jan,feb,mar,apr ...
