Installing comitup when Motioneye has been installed prevents comitup-xxx.local login

[evandene]

Hi,
I have a usb camera security streaming software installed on my Pi (OS Debian Bullseye). Motioneye is the usb camera streaming software and works great.
When I install comitup, the installation go's smooth without errors. The comitup-xxx is broadcasted and I can SSH into it, so far so good.
What doesn't work is the login via the web browser. The Motioneye stream opens with the provided http://10.41.0.1/ IP address. The same happens when I try the hostname.local.
Installing comitup without Motioneye installed works great under all circumstances.
I could need some help please

The problem is that both Comitup and Motioneye require ownership of port 80. The solution is to allow Comitup to manage the Motioneye service - enabling it when an upstream connection is achieved. See the Pi-hole and Docker solutions for an idea of how to do this.

Thanks for the response, the direction given make sense and will get me out of the woods. I will publish the results after the holidays.
Thanks again.

And indeed all works fine now. No conflicts anymore. Here below the script that worked for me.
First stop Motioneye
sudo systemctl stop motioneye
sudo systemctl disable motioneye
Create a file script with name: /usr/local/bin/comitup-callback

• nano /usr/local/bin/comitup-callback
  Add the following lines
  #!/usr/bin/bash

if [ $1 == "CONNECTED" ] ; then
systemctl start motioneye
else
if [ $1 == "HOTSPOT" ] ; then
systemctl stop motioneye
fi
fi

Make the script executable

$ sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/comitup-callback
$ sudo chown root.root /usr/local/bin/comitup-callback

Enable motioneye
systemctl enable motioneye

Enable motioneye
systemctl enable motioneye

You may have an issue after reboot.
