After getting TrueNAS setup I was time to create a FTP user for the cameras to record. First a local user is created. The user’s home directory is where the files go and will probably also wants to be a Dataset and configured as a Share. The user is configured with a shell of /usr/sbin/nologin.
The FTP service is then enabled. The service is configured to always chroot.
Now it is time to create a cron job to cleanup these folders. The following command is set to run each night at midnight as the camera ftp user:
find /mnt/tank1/video/// -type f -mtime +30 -print0 | xargs -0 rm -fThis should find and delete all of the files in the folder older than 30 days.
There has been an issue with some of the Amcrest camera and FTP but for now ours seem to be uploading correctly.
