wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mhmdali94/Docker/main/cameras/scrypted/scrypted-ubuntu.sh2 Make it Executable
chmod +x scrypted-ubuntu.sh3 Run the Installer
The script installs Docker if needed and starts Scrypted in host network mode over HTTPS on port 10443, with its data in a mounted volume. Host networking is used so device discovery and the smart-home bridges work correctly.
sudo bash scrypted-ubuntu.sh4 Open the Web UI (HTTPS) and Create the Admin
Browse to Scrypted over HTTPS, accept the certificate warning, and create your admin account on first visit, then add your cameras:
