Updated 19MAR23


This easy install is for Debian 8 (Jessie) with Zoneminder 1.29.0 from the back ports install.
__TOC__


I installed Debian from the netinst CD with only web server, SSH server and standard system utilities. Tasksel does not install LAMP under Debian so I installed MySQL and PHP after reboot.
==Debian 11 with Zoneminder 1.36.x==
Debian 11 Bullseye is being released with Zoneminder 1.34.23 and as usual for Debian the zm database needs to be created manually. This is not user friendly and 1.34 is considered old and unsupported.  So we will be using the packages provided by the ZoneMinder development team hosted at zmrepo.zoneminder.com.  


Log in as your user
Note: We currently only package for amd64 and armhf so if your are running something else this won't work. 


Then become root
Debian, unlike Ubuntu, does not install sudo with the initial setup. While you can log in as root, a user with sudo authority is recommended.


  sudo root
To enable sudo:
In a terminal,become root with su. Enter your root password.
Install sudo with:
apt install sudo
Add the user account to the group sudo with:
  /sbin/adduser username sudo  
where username is your user account.
Exit root then log out and then log in with the same user.


Install PHP, and MySQL server. You will be prompted to set a MySQL password
Timezone: it is recommended you set your specific timesone with:
  sudo timedatectl set-timezone America/New_York
Of course use your timezone in place of America/New_York.


apt-get install php5 mysql-server php-pear php5-mysql php5-gd
1. Install Debian 11 (Bullseye), desktop or server version, along with Apache2, PHP and your favorite database (Mariadb recommended). A quick way to install LAMP is:


Note: you may want to set MySQL to use innodb_file_per_table. Here is a procedure for Ubuntu that should also work for Debian: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Common_Issues_with_Zoneminder_Installation_on_Ubuntu#Enable_and_convert_MySQL_to_innodb_file_per_table_for_Zoneminder
  sudo apt install apache2 mariadb-server php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql lsb-release gnupg2


Add the Jessie backports
Secure MySQL or Mariadb, create root password et. al.


  nano /etc/apt/sources.list
  mysql_secure_installation


Add to the bottom of the list:
Mariadb additional settings The default values for the database are adequate for initial setup. However, I recommend you make these changes before installing Zoneminder. Note: If you have sufficient memory double the values below. Edit the Mariadb config file:


  deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main
  sudo nano /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/50-server.cnf
 
Add the following in the [mysql] area:
 
innodb_file_per_table = ON
innodb_buffer_pool_size = 256M
innodb_log_file_size = 64M
 
CTRL+o then [Enter] to save


Ctrl+o Enter to save
CTRL+x to exit
CTRL+x to exit


Update Sources
Reatart Mariadb:
 
sudo service mysql restart
 
I recommend you install mysqltuner and run it from time to time and adjust the database settings as the number of saved events grows.

New install process with a shell script!
 
Become root with sudo su before running this!
 
Shell script file contents:


  apt-get update
  #!/bin/sh
clear
read -p "This script installs ZoneMinder 1.36.x on Debian 11 with LAMP (MySQL or Mariadb) installed...
This script must be run as root!
Press Enter to continue or Ctrl + c to quit" nothing
clear
apt install -y lsb-release gnupg2
echo "deb https://zmrepo.zoneminder.com/debian/release-1.36 "`lsb_release  -c -s`"/" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/zoneminder.list
wget -O - https://zmrepo.zoneminder.com/debian/archive-keyring.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
read -p "Warning! Check above to insure the line says OK. If not the GPG signing key was not installed and you will need to figure out why before continuing.
Press enter to continue" nothing
apt update
clear
apt install -y zoneminder
systemctl enable zoneminder
service zoneminder start
adduser www-data video
a2enconf zoneminder
a2enmod rewrite
a2enmod headers
a2enmod expires
service apache2 reload
clear
read -p "Install complete. Open Zoneminder/Options and set the timezone. Press enter to continue" nothing
clear


Check to be sure everything is up to date


apt-get upgrade
Copy the contents of the script, open a terminal and run:


  apt-get dist-upgrade
  nano zm-install


Install Zoneminder
Paste the contents of the script into Nano
 
Then:
 
Ctrl + o Ctrl + x
 
Next run:
 
chmod 755 zm-install
 
Start the script by entering:
 
./zm-install
 
Follow the prompts. Things are pretty simple. The timezone is now set in Zoneminder/Options.
 
Good Luck!

Create or edit the fcgiwrap:


You should now be able to access the web server using http://servername
nano /etc/default/fcgiwrap


and insert (with the number of children -c equal to the number of cameras) Note that you may need to have this value larger than the number if cameras. In my case I run "camera walls" from a custom web page that accesses the Zoneminder monitors. I have needed to increase the -c to include the number of cameras in the camera wall web pages.


Open Zoneminder in web browser
DAEMON_OPTS=-c 10


http://serverip/zm
Ctrl+o Enter to save


Optional:Click Options, check Is the (optional) cambozola java streaming client installed (?) Click Save
CTRL+x to exit


Your Zoneminder install is now ready to add cameras!
then restart the fcgiwrap service.


For a slight performance boost use 32 bit colour in camera settings.
systemctl restart fcgiwrap
