DVR on OpenMediaVault (Devian Flavor) installation issues

Channels DVR Server
#1

Hi there,
I just paid for the subscription to Channels DVR to run on my Nas (Debian flavor of Linux) - Open Media Vault.
For installation, I have run the "curl -f -s https://getchannels.com/dvr/setup.sh | sh" command and it appears to not do anything.
When SSH'ing into the box, I connect as 'root' so maybe that's the reason?
My main storage is on a raid array, so I really don't want to use the storage on the OS drive (which is where any /home directory would be.
Can anyone please help me to get this installed?
I'm decently proficient with Linux, I'm just not sure where to start since no dpkg or .deb file is available as a download from Channels DVR.
Thanks!

Thank you fort the reply! :grinning:

    More details here: http://curl.haxx.se/docs/sslcerts.html

curl performs SSL certificate verification by default, using a "bundle"
of Certificate Authority (CA) public keys (CA certs). If the default
bundle file isn't adequate, you can specify an alternate file
using the --cacert option.
If this HTTPS server uses a certificate signed by a CA represented in
the bundle, the certificate verification probably failed due to a
problem with the certificate (it might be expired, or the name might
not match the domain name in the URL).
If you'd like to turn off curl's verification of the certificate, use
the -k (or --insecure) option.

What does your NAS think is the current date & time?

Weird. Putty says it's Sept. 1 2018 but inside the Web Admin for the NAS is has the correct Jan 2nd time.

You have to install the software into your home dir or /usr/local.

You can pick a dir to store recordings after install during setup
