Install motionEye on Linux Ubuntu Using Docker

This video could (should?) be about 2 minutes long. However, it is primarily for “Future Greg” in order to save him time a year from now, when it’s time to change the setup. If you find it useful too, that’s great 🙂

*** Note1: I kept referring to Arduino cam but meant Raspberry Pi camera module.

*** Note2: If you are just here for docker, the install instructions start at 5:19
