Motioneye: Restoring default motion.conf values

[anon-tigress]

Through an act of extreme carelessness I accidentally deleted my /data/etc/motion.conf file after spending hours configuring it. Now I cannot access the motioneye web interface, but curiously I can still ssh into the device running motion. Is there anyway to restore the motion.conf values to the default settings? I could not find the default values listed anywhere. I saw a suggestion to sudo apt-get purge motion and sudo apt-get motion to restore the file , but the problem is I used a direct image of motioneye burned onto the microSD card and did not use apt-get to install it. If I try to run apt-get it says command not found.

You could create another SDCard and copy the file from there to a local PC,
then re-insert the oops'd card and copy it on there.
Checking to see if there is a motion.conf.sample' anywhere else...

Good news, I was able to find that someone had posted the default settings in #1623

Listed as:

# @enabled on
# @show_advanced on
# @normal_password 
# @admin_username admin
# @admin_password 
# @normal_username user

webcontrol_port 7999
setup_mode off
webcontrol_parms 2
webcontrol_localhost on

camera camera-1.conf

webcontrol_interface 1

Do these values look ok?

Looks exactly like the copy in my setup (except for passwords and camera config references, of course). Just add more camera lines there if you have multiple cameras.
