Updated 23AUG16 for Debian 8.5
Updated 20OCT22 for shell script install.


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


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


Log in as your user
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.


Then become 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.


  su root
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.


Install PHP, and MySQL server. You will be prompted to set a MySQL password
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:


  apt-get install php5 mysql-server php-pear php5-mysql php5-gd
  sudo apt install apache2 mariadb-server php libapache2-mod-php php-mysql lsb-release gnupg2


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
Secure MySQL or Mariadb, create root password et. al.


Add the Jessie backports
mysql_secure_installation


nano /etc/apt/sources.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:


Add to the bottom of the list:
sudo nano /etc/mysql/mariadb.conf.d/50-server.cnf


deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie-backports main
Add the following in the [mysql] area:


Ctrl+o Enter to save
innodb_file_per_table = ON
CTRL+x to exit
innodb_buffer_pool_size = 256M
innodb_log_file_size = 64M


Update Sources
CTRL+o then [Enter] to save


apt-get update
CTRL+x to exit
 
Check to be sure everything is up to date


apt-get upgrade
Reatart Mariadb:


  apt-get dist-upgrade
  sudo service mysql restart


Install Zoneminder
I recommend you install mysqltuner and run it from time to time and adjust the database settings as the number of saved events grows.

Optional: Install Cambozola (needed if you use old versions of Internet Explorer)
Old procedure retained for reference
Note: Cambozola requires Java Runtime Environement which many consider a security risk.


cd /usr/src && wget http://www.andywilcock.com/code/cambozola/cambozola-latest.tar.gz
2. Add Zoneminder's repo to your APT configuration:


  tar -xzvf cambozola-latest.tar.gz
  echo "deb https://zmrepo.zoneminder.com/debian/release-1.36 "`lsb_release  -c -s`"/" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/zoneminder.list


replace 936 with cambozola version downloaded
3. Add Zoneminder's GPG signing key:


  cp cambozola-0.936/dist/cambozola.jar /usr/share/zoneminder
  wget -O - https://zmrepo.zoneminder.com/debian/archive-keyring.gpg | sudo apt-key add -

Revision as of 21:16, 20 October 2022

Updated 20OCT22 for shell script install.

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.

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

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:

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.

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.

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:

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

Secure MySQL or Mariadb, create root password et. al.

mysql_secure_installation

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:

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+x to exit

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:

#!/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

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.

apt install -y 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


Copy the contents of the script, open a terminal and run:

nano zm-install

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!
