Cant find IP address when running in docker

[p10tyr]

Firstly, I wanted to say thank you for creating this! Means I can carry on using some of my older, perfectly working cameras in Unify Protect now!

The docker instructions says
All you need to do is to mount your config.yaml to /onvif.yaml inside the container.

Which I have done. The mac address I used is the camera mac.. but i also tried a random one got the same response.

C:\docker\onvivserver> docker run --rm -it -v c:\docker\onvivserver\config.yaml:/onvif.yaml ghcr.io/daniela-hase/onvif-server:latest
Failed to find IP address for MAC address c4:2f:90:49:2d:49

I am running Docker in Windows as test for now. But do i need to setup virtual networks too? I am not quite sure what is going on here.

[p10tyr]

I have configured a bare metal Ubuntu LTS and installed node and followed the instructions.

I created the bridged VLAN and still get the same error?

When i try to create config I get an interesting message?

piotr@ubuntu:~/onvif-server$ node main.js --create-config
Onvif Server: 192.168.1.187
Onvif Username: video
Onvif Password:

Hello,

Same error Failed to find IP address for MAC address a2:a2:a2:a2:a2:42 here with a configured macvlan :

6: c4-onvif@ens18: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP group default qlen 1000
link/ether a2:a2:a2:a2:a2:42 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
inet 10.0.0.77/24 brd 10.0.0.255 scope global dynamic c4-onvif

I even ran dhclient c4-onvif and got the correct response from my dhcp server.
IP responds to pings.

Docker running on a Debian 12 vm.

Any idea what the problem is?
I really want this to work. onvif-server seems to be the perfect missing piece ;-)

I have been debugging (more like learning) the code on what its trying to do on an Ubuntu machine I setup just for all this to run natively as node from source.

I think its saying IP not found in this instance on the vlan mac because it cant connect to the camera.

If you try and follow the connect to docker instance and try and run the node main.js --create-config what result do you get?
--edit--
Nevermind. dont use create-config. In the readme it says use RTSP you need to create the config manually. This create config is to connect to an onvif device and dump out its config.. not sure what the use case is there.
--edit--

I am looking at the source code and that method does

let client = await soap.createClientAsync('./wsdl/media_service.wsdl', options);
client.setEndpoint(`http://${hostname}/onvif/device_service`);
client.setSecurity(new soap.WSSecurity(username, password, securityOptions));

My camera is not onvif.. so I am confused why its trying to connec to to an onvif endpoint. Trying to query that via postman has no results..

[p10tyr]

So the problem with IP Address not found is something to do with Node not returning the VLAN

> ip addr
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> 
2: enp2s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> state UP
    link/ether 74:d4:35:9b:9e:68 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet 192.168.1.108/24 metric ....
3: docker0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> state DOWN group default 

4: onvif-proxy-1@enp2s0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop state DOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/ether aa:aa:aa:aa:aa:a1 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

While debugging code

It does not seem like the VLAN state is UP so its not coming back.

[p10tyr]

OK !

We forgot to run the critical command

sudo ip link set onvif-proxy-1 up

Now it is showing in the get interfaces :D

But I only get IPv6 address no IPv4

Hello P10tyr !

Have you configured your dhcp server to give an IP to this Mac address ?
I did it, I have a correct IP but still the same error if you saw my message above.
Unfortunately...

[p10tyr]

I am using Unify UGC-MAX .. There are not many options there I thought it would just give it an IP?

Found it I had to add the IPv4 Manually under Fixed

but still no IPv4 showing in ip addr

[gupl]

In your Unifi Network, Settings, Network, your network, DHCP mode is DHCP Server ?

If yes : Clients Devices, in top right icon to add a client, and there you can add a lease for a Mac address.

[gupl]

Same problem now....

[p10tyr]

I removed and added it back to Unify the way you said. But it is not showing up any where in the list now. I cant see the MAC. When I try to add it.. it says the MAC already exists...

[gupl]

Client devices, Offline : here you can normally see the leases.

[p10tyr]

OK I re added it again and gave it static.
I made the link UP. but its like its not working

[gupl]

In the docker host or machine where is set the macvlan : dhclient onvif-proxy-1
ip addr will show the IP given by the DHCP server.

I'm stuck there.

[p10tyr]

OK. I ran the dhclient on my machine where I have the server code and vlan and now it shows an IPv4 address. That is interesting why it not connect to unify dhcp? (im not sure what dhclient is)

But that now makes the interface come back with IPv4 in the code

And that progresses the code now
Starting virtual onvif server for Bullet1 on 192.168.1.12:8081 ...

I also found you can pass in debug arg (-d)

Starting virtual onvif server for Bullet1 on 192.168.1.12:8081 ...
  Started!

Starting tcp proxy from port 8554 to 192.168.1.187:554 ...
  Started!

Starting tcp proxy from port 8580 to 192.168.1.187:80 ...

Looks like it is now running?
