ZMLarch is a livecd zoneminder demo, development tool, and installer solution. Based on Arch Linux and built with the larch live CD/USB toolkit, ZMLarch is fairly light weight at ~425MB Documentation on the CD is sparse, but effort has been made to keep it as simple to use as possible. The CD's browser home page has a link back to here, so users can help with documenting.
The current release on June 30, 2009 is ZMLarch_1.24.2-1.iso It is availible for download here:
Included software
- ZoneMinder svn 2935-1 (ZoneMinder is packaged and updateing is very simple. See Update_ZMLarch)
- ffmpeg-svn 18940-1 (Built with the RTSP authentication patch)
- kernel 2.6.29.4-1
- Firefox 3.0.11-1
- MySQL 5.1.35-1
- PHP 5.2.9-3
- mjpg-streamer r63-1
Features
- A lightweight openbox desktop environment
- A unique hostame that has the form "zmhost_nn(n)_nn(n)" The numeric portion is determined by the last two octets of the mac address of the network interface. The preference order of interfaces is "wlan0", "ath0","eth0". Having a unique hostname enables us to use avahi to announce zeroconf network services. So the liveCD system can be used in a headless, dhcp configured network setup. Useful for "on the fly" temporary deployment. Of course these features can also be used in a more permanently installed system as well.
