Description

An iSpy (DVR) server resource for running it on RockyLinux 8.x/9.x

Installation

To setup your iSpy/DVR server start out with a fresh RockyLinux 8.x/9.x server/vps/LXC - i use a ProxMox (https://www.proxmox.com/en/proxmox-ve) LXC, and will assumes that your server has:

• (atleast) 4Gb of memory available.
  
• SSH acccess to the box -> by default the RockyLinux 8/9 template does not have openssh-server package installed, so manually add it.
  

Out of scope:

• reverse proxy with SSL in front of iSpy/DVR to make it available on default HTTPS port.(these capabillities are licenced options).
  

Install/Enable additional repositories (epel) and packages.

dnf install epel-release wget nano nginx xz

Setup nginx directories for multisite as it makes it more versatile reference: https://docs.rockylinux.org/guides/web/nginx-multisite/

Create a nginx configuration-file for the DVR resource in /etc/nginx/sites-available/ with the following content.

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name your.server.name.sometld;
    location / {
        proxy_pass http://localhost:8090;

        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
        proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    }
}

Enable the above configuration to be loaded on nginx startup

ln -s /etc/nginx/sites-available/your_configfile.conf /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/

Download and execute the dvr Agent installation.
