You can switch between different subpackages with dnf/yum. Be advised that,
if you modified any of the default config files supplied by the package,
rpm may not update the config file to the proper version. This is by design.
Use drop-in files instead, to avoid this issue.

of ZoneMinder has support for Raspberry Pi hardware acceleration when using
ffmpeg. Unforunately, there is a problem with the same hardware acceleration
when using libvlc. Consequently, libvlc support in this build of ZoneMinder
has been disabled until the problem is resolved. See the following bug
report for details: https://trac.videolan.org/vlc/ticket/18594

What's New
==========
1. See the ZoneMinder release notes for a list of new features:
https://github.com/ZoneMinder/zoneminder/releases
2. The contents of the ZoneMinder Apache config file have changed. In
addition, this ZoneMinder package now requires you to manually symlink the
ZoneMinder Apache config file. See new install step 6 and upgrade step 3
below for details.
New installs
============
1. Unless you are already using MariaDB server, you need to ensure that the
server is configured to start during boot and properly secured by running:
sudo yum install mariadb-server
sudo systemctl enable mariadb
sudo systemctl start mariadb.service
mysql_secure_installation
2. Using the password for the root account set during the previous step, you
will need to create the ZoneMinder database and configure a database
account for ZoneMinder to use:
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
The database account credentials, zmuser/zmpass, are arbitrary. Set them to
anything that suits your environment.
3. If you have chosen to change the zoneminder database account credentials to
something other than zmuser/zmpass, you must now create a config file under
/etc/zm/conf.d and set your credentials there. For example, create the file
/etc/zm/conf.d/zm-db-user.conf and add the following content to it:
ZM_DB_USER = {username of the sql account you want to use}
ZM_DB_PASS = {password of the sql account you want to use}
Once the file has been saved, set proper file & ownership permissions on it:
sudo chown root:apache *.conf
sudo chmod 640 *.conf
4. Edit /etc/php.ini, uncomment the date.timezone line, and add your local
timezone. PHP will complain loudly if this is not set, or if it is set
incorrectly, and these complaints will show up in the zoneminder logging
system as errors.
If you are not sure of the proper timezone specification to use, look at
http://php.net/date.timezone
5. Disable SELinux
We currently do not have the resources to create and maintain an accurate
SELinux policy for ZoneMinder on CentOS 7. We will gladly accept pull
reqeusts from anyone who wishes to do the work. In the meantime, SELinux
will need to be disabled or put into permissive mode.
To immediately disbale SELinux for the current seesion, issue the following
from the command line:
sudo setenforce 0
To permanently disable SELinux, edit /etc/selinux/config and change the
SELINUX line from "enforcing" to "disabled". This change will take
effect after a reboot.
6. Configure the web server
This package uses the HTTPS protocol by default to access the web portal,
using the default self signed certificate on your system. Requests using
HTTP will auto-redirect to HTTPS.
Inspect the web server configuration file and verify it meets your needs:
/etc/zm/www/zoneminder.conf
If you are running other web enabled services then you may need to edit
this file to suite. See README.https to learn about other alternatives.
When in doubt, proceed with the default:
sudo ln -s /etc/zm/www/zoneminder.conf /etc/httpd/conf.d/
sudo yum install mod_ssl
7. Now start the web server:
sudo systemctl enable httpd
sudo systemctl start httpd
8. Now start zoneminder:
sudo systemctl enable zoneminder
sudo systemctl start zoneminder
9. Optionally configure the firewall
All Redhat distros ship with the firewall enabled. That means you will not
be able to access the ZoneMinder web console from a remote machine until
changes are made to the firewall.
What follows are a set of minimal commands to allow remote access to the
ZoneMinder web console and also allow ZoneMinder's ONVIF discovery to
work. The following commands do not put any restrictions on which remote
machine(s) have access to the listed ports or services.
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=http
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-service=https
sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=3702/udp
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
Additional changes to the firewall may be required, depending on your
security requirements and how you use the system. It is up to you to verify
these commands are sufficient.
10. Access the ZoneMinder web console
You may now access the ZoneMinder web console from your web browser using
an appropriate url. Here are some examples:
http://localhost/zm (works from the local machine only)
http://{machine name}/zm (works only if dns is configured for your network)
http://{ip address}/zm
Upgrades
========
1. Conf.d folder support has been added to ZoneMinder. Any custom
changes previously made to zm.conf must now be made in one or more custom
config files, created under the conf.d folder. Do this now. See
/etc/zm/conf.d/README for details. Once you recreate any custom config changes
under the conf.d folder, they will remain in place indefinitely.
2. Verify permissions of the zmuser account.
Over time, the database account permissions required for normal operation
have increased. Verify the zmuser database account has been granted all
permission to the ZoneMinder database:
mysql -uroot -p -e "show grants for zmuser@localhost;"
See step 2 of the Installation section to add missing permissions.
3. Verify the ZoneMinder Apache configuration file in the folder
/etc/zm/www. You will have a file called "zoneminder.conf" and there
may also be a file called "zoneminder.conf.rpmnew". If an rpmnew file
exists, inspect it and merge anything new in that file with zoneminder.conf.
Verify the SSL REquirements meet your needs. Read README.https if necessary.
The contents of this file must be merged into your Apache configuration.
See step 6 of the installation section if you have not already done this
during a previous upgrade.
4. Upgrade the database before starting ZoneMinder.
Most upgrades can be performed by executing the following command:
sudo zmupdate.pl
Recent versions of ZoneMinder don't require any parameters added to the
zmupdate command. However, if ZoneMinder complains, you may need to call
zmupdate in the following manner:
sudo zmupdate.pl --user=root --pass=<mysql_root_pwd> --version=<from version>
5. Now restart the web server then start zoneminder:
sudo systemctl restart httpd
sudo systemctl start zoneminder
