===Debian 9 with Zoneminder 1.30.4===
17FEB19 This procedure can be used to install Zoneminder on a Raspberry Pi. I used a Pi3 B+.


08OCT17 - This procedure has been verified with the Debian 9.2.0.
==Debian 12 with Zoneminder 1.36.34==
Debian 12 has been released with Zoneminder 1.36.33 and as usual for Debian the zm database needs to be created manually. This is not user friendly.  So we will be using the packages provided by the ZoneMinder development team hosted at zmrepo.zoneminder.com.  


Note: 23JUN17 - I was able to get the libvlc source to work! I have added the install for vlc-plugin-base which allows the Zoneminder install to complete without errors. However, I have been getting some console errors from VLC. It may be my old camera and you may have good results with libvlc but I consider ffmpeg better to use.
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.  


I used Debian 9 net install CD (https://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/).  
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.  
Become root:
sudo su


Install only: web server, SSH server and standard system utilities from tasksel
Timezone: it is recommended you set your specific timesone with:
timedatectl set-timezone America/New_York
Of course use your timezone in place of America/New_York.


Login and become root (su root) or prepend sudo to the following commands
1. Install Apache2, PHP and your favorite database (Mariadb recommended). A quick way to install LAMP is:


If needed check to make sure you are up to date
apt install apache2 mariadb-server php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql lsb-release gnupg2


apt update
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
apt upgrade
apt dist-upgrade


===Install additional LAMP components Mariadb server (recommended)===
New install process with a shell script!


apt install php mariadb-server php-mysql libapache2-mod-php7.0
Become root with sudo su before running this!


Secure Mariadb, create root password et. al.
Shell script file contents:


  mysql_secure_installation
  #!/bin/sh
clear
read -p "This script installs ZoneMinder 1.36.x on Debian 12 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 zoneminder --install-recommends -y
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


NOTE:The MySQL/MariaDB configuration file is located at: /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf To better manage the MariaDB server I recommend you move the config file and replace the default my.cnf symbolic link (this also works for MySQL 5.6).


rm /etc/mysql/my.cnf 
Copy the contents of the script, open a terminal and run:


  cp /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/50-server.cnf /etc/mysql/my.cnf
  nano zm-install


'''The following change to Mariadb settings is optional but is included if you have problems logging into Zoneminder'''
Paste the contents of the script into Nano


nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf
Then:


Make the following changes:
Ctrl + o Ctrl + x


character-set-server = latin1
Next run:
collation-server = latin1_swedish_ci


Note: The above settings are actually the Mariadb default. Changing back to default is necessary to avoid errors when logging into Zoneminder. This was added on 01APR17 but is not an April Fool! It may be necessary to align these settings with your regional language.
chmod 755 zm-install


Ctrl+o Enter to save
Start the script by entering:


Ctrl+x to exit
./zm-install


Restart Mariadb
Follow the prompts. Things are pretty simple. The timezone is now set in Zoneminder/Options.


service mariadb restart
Good Luck!

10OCT17 - An issue with the /tmp/zm directory has been reported. Debian uses private tmp folders so even though you can see the files & folders, zoneminder cannot because it is running under a different user account.
systemctl restart apache2


Go to Options -> Paths and then inspect each PATH_XXX variable. If it is set to "/tmp/zm", change it to "/dev/shm". Don't forget to restart zoneminder.
Install Zoneminder


===Alternate install MySQL Server===
apt install zoneminder
Note: Install of MySQL was not tested with the Debian 9.0.0 release but should work based on past experience


apt install php default-mysql-server php-mysql apache2-mod-php7.0
Create Zoneminder database in MySQL (Note: this also creates the default Zoneminder user and permissions in MySQL) Use the server root password when prompted.


Make a change to MySQL settings: (Note: Your my.cnf may be in another location)
mysql -uroot -p < /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_create.sql


  nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf
  mysql -uroot -p -e "grant all on zm.* to 'zmuser'@localhost identified by 'zmpass';"


In the [mysqld] section add the following
mysqladmin -uroot -p reload


sql_mode = NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION
Set permissions


Note: if you are installing on an existing database server you can use the following as an alternate to 'sql_mode = NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION' (Thanks to "bodom" for this alternate):
chmod 640 /etc/zm/zm.conf
chown root:www-data /etc/zm/zm.conf
chown -R www-data:www-data /var/cache/zoneminder/
chmod 755 /var/cache/zoneminder/


init_connect = 'SET @@sql_mode = CASE CURRENT_USER() WHEN \'zmuser@localhost\' THEN \'NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION\' ELSE @@sql_mode END;'

Warning: Release 1.32.3-2 from Debian Unstable package as of 4/2019 is not compiled with H264 support, so the functions of H264 encode and passthrough will not function. However, it is still possible to use traditional MJPEG frame and analysis saving. It may be advised to try the [Debian ZMRepo link].

Debian 12 with Zoneminder 1.36.34

Debian 12 has been released with Zoneminder 1.36.33 and as usual for Debian the zm database needs to be created manually. This is not user friendly. So we will be using the packages provided by the ZoneMinder development team hosted at zmrepo.zoneminder.com.

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.

To enable sudo: In a terminal,become root with su. Enter your root password. Install sudo with:

where username is your user account. Exit root then log out and then log in with the same user. Become root: 

sudo su

Timezone: it is recommended you set your specific timesone with: 

timedatectl set-timezone America/New_York

Of course use your timezone in place of America/New_York.

1. Install Apache2, PHP and your favorite database (Mariadb recommended). A quick way to install LAMP is:

Old procedure retained for reference

Debian 12 Bookworm is released with Zoneminder 1.36.33 and as usual for Debian the zm database needs to be created manually.

Note: This version has been verified with Bookworm Debian 12 official release. A few issues have been found and corrected. Zoneminder now opens in Firefox (Windows, Linux and Android), Edge, Chrome (on Android). ZmNinja on Android also works. If using ZmNinja you may have to clear the API cache. Please report other errors on the Zoneminder forum.

In time a version of Zoneminder for Bookworm will be made available in the zmrepo.

You will have to install sudo and add the user to the sudoers file.

Become root with 

su

Install sudo 

apt install sudo

Then add the user 

/sbin/adduser username sudo

I recommend rebooting at this point but a log out and back in also works.

Become root 

sudo su

Timezone: it is recommended you set your specific timesone with: 

timedatectl set-timezone America/New_York

Of course use your timezone in place of America/New_York

Install Apache2, PHP and your favorite database (Mariadb recommended). A quick way to install LAMP is: 

apt install apache2 mariadb-server php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql lsb-release gnupg2

Add timezone to PHP (This may not be necessary but does not hurt and will allow the time of events to be displayed correctly) 

nano /etc/php/8.2/apache2/php.ini

Search for [Date] (Ctrl + w then type Date and press Enter) and make changes as follows for your time zone 

[Date]
; Defines the default timezone used by the date functions
; http://php.net/date.timezone
date.timezone = America/New_York

Ctrl+o Enter to save

CTRL+x to exit

Restart Apache 

service apache2 restart

or 

systemctl restart apache2

Install Zoneminder 

apt install zoneminder

Create Zoneminder database in MySQL (Note: this also creates the default Zoneminder user and permissions in MySQL) Use the server root password when prompted. 

mysql -uroot -p < /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_create.sql

mysql -uroot -p -e "grant all on zm.* to 'zmuser'@localhost identified by 'zmpass';"

mysqladmin -uroot -p reload

Set permissions 

chmod 640 /etc/zm/zm.conf

chown root:www-data /etc/zm/zm.conf

chown -R www-data:www-data /var/cache/zoneminder/

chmod 755 /var/cache/zoneminder/

Replace zoneminder.conf 

cp /etc/apache2/conf-available/zoneminder.conf /etc/apache2/conf-available/zoneminder.conf.sav
