Turn your USB cam to an IP cam

I had a logitech camera that I dont use , so I turned it into a network IP camera using go2rtc.

Here is the docker compose file I used

Docker Compose

services:
  go2rtc:
    image: alexxit/go2rtc:latest
    container_name: tsg_go2rtc
    restart: unless-stopped

    ports:
      - 1984:1984
      - 8554:8554
      - 8555:8555/tcp
      - 8555:8555/udp

    devices:
      - /dev/video0:/dev/video0

    volumes:
      - ./config:/config

    environment:
      TZ: Asia/Dubai

and my go2rtc.yaml:

api:
  username: admin
  password: your-password

rtsp:
  username: admin
  password: your-password

I wrote the whole step by step here . Hopefully this will help someone. - I can not post the link here because it keeps tagging me as spam :-(

Credit to u/krispucci for the idea. He asked if QUSBCam still works- this was a great utility QNAP had for turning USB webcams into IP cameras, so I decided to recreate it using go2rtc.

Hello everyone,

I do a lot of Docker videos on YouTube around UGREEN, and despite trying to simplify things, one question keeps coming- is there an easier way to do this?

So I ended up building TSG EasyDocker. You just install it once and then it gives you guided “recipes” to deploy apps.

For examples:

  • Tailscale : enter your auth key, toggle exit node if needed, optional subnet routing and deploy.
  • Immich : select your photo directory ( by default one is selected for you), click deploy

It still uses Docker underneath. It just creates compose file for you, shows you compose file and then deploys app. Everything is transparent . I wrote it for Ugreen but this will work anywhere where docker works - Synology, QNAP , even Dcoker desktop for windows. I have 14 apps right now and I will add more.

This is still early, so I’m sure there are rough edges. Please be gentle if you find issues.
