Zoneminder on same NUC as Hass.io

[uiguy]

Hi All,

I have a spare NUC, quite a beefy one with an i7 processor and 16G RAM.

I want to install Hass.io on the NUC but want to know if I can also run my Zoneminder instalnce on the same box somehow? I have around 18 camera’s and that chews through some resources. I also have around 650 entities in my current HA instance. I DDon’t want to put HASSIO or Zoneminder on to an RPI3 as I want the performance of a faster processor…

Any thoughts? Thanks

NUC

I run HassIO on an Pi3 (runs smoothly) and Zoneminder on a separate pc. I am running 12 cameras on an old i3 with I think 16 meg of RAM and 4 TB HD. I use to run ZM on a 16 core/64GB server with Hass (not HassIO) so I can definitely tell a performance difference but it runs it okay.

i have Hassio running with zoneminder in docker on a nul i5 8GB ram, no problem, using passthough cam feed in ZM and load is on 0.30-40 so no problem.

Hi, with HASSIO as the OS, is there a command line tool available or something where you are abale to load additioanal software unrelated to HASSIO (like docker) Sorry for the noob questions, I just would relaly like to start using HASSIO on a beefy box, but want to run other things on it at the same time.

Thanks

You can totally do this.
There is some useful info in this topic:

Hass.io running on docker/ubuntu on VM vs standalone hass running on docker on Ubuntu on VM

Hey all I currently have HASS running on docker on an Ubuntu VM. I also have a few HA companion docker containers running - e.g. dasher for amazon dash buttons. I need to do a bit of admin work to increase disk space on the VM, so I came to think maybe I will be better served to spin up a new VM and install hass.io (in parallel to my existing HA, initially ) I saw the custom install procedure, and looks fairly straightforward. Then I saw this warning: When you use this inst…

I am running an ubuntu VM with docker. I installed hassio via the linux script, but I am free to install anything else I like on the same ubuntu platform.

awesome thanks

I should clarify that this is not using hassio as the OS.
I install ubuntu + docker then install hassio on top.

[nic0dk (Martin Nicolaisen)]

yes, Install Ubuntu, centos etc and use this guide til get Hassio running

home-assistant/hassio-build

on the side Install docker

Hi, sorry for the noob questions, maybe this should go intot hte HASSIO install forum, but I am getting the following error when I run curl…

xx@xxxxxxx:~$ sudo curl -sL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/home-assistant/hassio-build/master/install/hassio_install | bash -s

Any ideas? Thanks again for the help

Did you install Docker? Is it running?

[nic0dk (Martin Nicolaisen)]

Do a “sudo su” first

[uiguy]

ok, up and running… thanks all…
