I have two Wi-Fi cameras that stream over RTSP and I want their footage handled automatically on my Ubuntu Droplet. The goals are clear: capture roughly eight hours of video per day from each camera, store the raw files locally just long enough to push them to the cloud, then wipe anything older than two days so the VPS disk never fills up. Here’s the stack I have in mind: • FFmpeg (or Shinobi if you prefer) to pull and segment the streams • MotionEye for a lightweight web view of live feeds and recent clips—this is my first choice for a dashboard • rclone to move the finished files to DigitalOcean Spaces; I’m open to OneDrive or Wasabi if you can show a price advantage • cron jobs (or systemd timers) to drive the daily upload and the 48-hour cleanup cycle • Simple email notices each time an upload or deletion completes so I know it’s working without logging in You’ll install, harden, and document the whole pipeline on my existing Droplet, link it to my Spaces bucket, and test end-to-end: recording, transfer, pruning, and dashboard access. Please outline how many hours you expect to spend, the total cost, and any assumptions about camera bit-rate or VPS specs that might affect sizing. When you’re done I should be able to log into MotionEye, watch the streams, and receive email confirmations while my cloud storage fills up—never my server disk.
