Bluecherry is a video surveillance software that allows you to view and record live video feeds from cameras. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of installing Bluecherry on Arch Linux.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
The first step is to add the Bluecherry repository to your system. To do this, open the terminal and type the following command:
sudo nano /etc/pacman.conf
This will open the pacman configuration file in the Nano editor.
Next, scroll down to the end of the file and add the following lines:
[bluecherry]
Server = https://dl.bluecherrydvr.com/$repo/$arch
Save and exit the file by pressing CTRL + X, followed by Y, and then ENTER.
Now that the Bluecherry repository is added, run the following command in the terminal to install it:
sudo pacman -S bluecherry
This will install the Bluecherry software to your system.
After the installation is complete, you need to configure the Bluecherry software. To do this, run the following command in the terminal:
sudo bluecherry-config
This will launch the Bluecherry configuration wizard. Follow the on-screen prompts to configure your cameras and settings.
Once the configuration is complete, start Bluecherry by running the following command:
sudo systemctl start bluecherry
You can also enable it to start at boot by typing:
sudo systemctl enable bluecherry
Bluecherry is now installed, configured, and running on your Arch Linux system. You can access the web interface by opening a web browser and going to http://localhost:7001. You will need to log in with the credentials you set during the Bluecherry configuration process.
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
