Use PostgreSQL, with a large number of cameras

When operating in production environments with a large number of cameras and motion detection enabled, we recommend using PostgreSQL as a more productive database. How to install and configure usage, read here

Manual install¶

When upgrading to a new version, first stop the server

sudo systemctl stop yucca

Let's start by creating a user and a group:

sudo useradd -M -U -r -u 9910 -s /bin/false -b /opt/yucca yucca

Run arch to find out your architecture

Output `arch`	Notation in the documentation
x86_64	amd64
armv6l	armv6
armv7l	armv7
aarch64	arm64

Create a directory for installation and go to it, download the latest version of Yucca:

Generating a default configuration file:

sudo /opt/yucca/yucca server --config emtpy --show-config | sed 's|data_dir = ""|data_dir = "/opt/yucca/data"|' > /opt/yucca/yucca.toml

We set the owner and access rights:

(
sudo chown -R yucca:yucca /opt/yucca
sudo chmod -R 2775 /opt/yucca
)

Create a systemd unit file and update the list of daemons for the changes to take effect:

(
sudo tee /lib/systemd/system/yucca.service <<EOF
[Unit]
Description=Yucca Stream <https://yucca.app>
Documentation=https://docs.yucca.app
After=syslog.target network.target remote-fs.target nss-lookup.target

[Service]
Type=simple
User=yucca
Group=yucca
SyslogIdentifier=yucca
PIDFile=/var/run/yucca.pid
LimitNOFILE=65535
ExecStart=/opt/yucca/yucca server --config /opt/yucca/yucca.toml
ExecStop=/bin/kill -s SIGTERM $MAINPID
Restart=on-failure
RestartSec=10s

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
EOF

sudo systemctl daemon-reload
)

Now you can start the server and test it:

(
sudo systemctl enable yucca
sudo systemctl start yucca
)

We configure the network filter:

sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --new-service=yucca
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --service=yucca --add-port=9910/tcp
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=yucca
sudo firewall-cmd --reload

After launch, the Web interface will be available at http://ip-your-server:9910
