Zoneminder for Debian
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
Initializing database
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
pv /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_create.sql | sudo mysql --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf
|
|
OR
|
|
cat /usr/share/zoneminder/db/zm_create.sql | sudo mysql --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf
|
|
|
|
echo 'grant lock tables,alter,create,select,insert,update,delete on zm.* to 'zmuser'@localhost identified by "zmpass";'\
|
|
| sudo mysql --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf mysql
|
|
|
|
Hint: generate secure password with `pwgen` and update "/etc/zm/zm.conf"
|
|
accordingly.
|
|
|
|
The following command can help to ensure that zoneminder can read its
|
|
configuration file:
|
|
|
|
chgrp -c www-data /etc/zm/zm.conf
|
|
|
|
|
|
Upgrading database
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Prior to 1.28.1 database upgrade was performed automatically.
|
|
"zoneminder" service will refuse to start with outdated database.
|
|
|
|
Assuming that database is on "localhost" then the following command can be
|
|
used to upgrade "zm" database:
|
|
|
|
zmupdate.pl
|
|
|
|
Additional permissions may be required to perform upgrade:
|
|
|
|
echo 'grant lock tables, create, alter on zm.* to 'zmuser'@localhost identified by "zmpass";'\
|
|
| sudo mysql --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf mysql
|
|
|
|
The following command prints the current version of zoneminder database:
|
|
|
|
echo 'select Value from Config where Name = "ZM_DYN_CURR_VERSION";' \
|
|
| sudo mysql --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/debian.cnf --skip-column-names zm
|
|
|
|
|
|
Enabling service
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
By default Zoneminder service is not starting automatically and need to be
|
|
manually activated once database is configured:
|
|
|
|
On systemd:
|
|
|
|
sudo systemctl enable zoneminder.service
|
|
|
|
On SysV:
|
|
|
|
sudo update-rc.d zoneminder enable
|
|
|
|
|
|
Web server set-up
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
There are few manual steps to get the web interface working:
|
|
|
|
## Apache2
|
|
|
|
Apache can be configured as folder "/zm" using sample .conf:
|
|
|
|
sudo a2enconf zoneminder
|
|
|
|
Alternatively Apache web site configuration template can be used to setup
|
|
zoneminder as "http://zoneminder":
|
|
|
|
sudo cp -v /usr/share/doc/zoneminder/examples/apache.conf /etc/apache2/sites-available/
|
|
sudo a2ensite zoneminder.conf
|
|
|
|
Common configuration steps for Apache2:
|
|
|
|
sudo a2enmod cgi
|
|
sudo service apache2 reload
|
|
|
|
|
|
## nginx / fcgiwrap
|
|
|
|
Nginx needs "php5-fpm" package to support PHP and "fcgiwrap" package
|
|
for binary "cgi-bin" applications:
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install php5-fpm fcgiwrap
|
|
|
|
To enable a URL alias that makes Zoneminder available from
|
|
|
|
http://yourserver/zm
|
|
|
|
the following line is to be added to "server" section of a web site
|
|
configuration:
|
|
|
|
include /usr/share/doc/zoneminder/examples/nginx.conf;
|
|
|
|
For "default" web site it would be sufficient to include the above
|
|
statement to the file
|
|
|
|
/etc/nginx/sites-enabled/default
|
|
|
|
To avoid problems with feeds from multiple cameras "fcgiwrap" should be
|
|
configured to start at least as many processes as there are cameras.
|
|
It can be done by adjusting DAEMON_OPTS in "/etc/default/fcgiwrap".
|
|
Systemd users may be affected by the following bug:
|
|
|
|
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=792705
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Note:
|
|
|
|
When Zoneminder web site is running it may be necessary to set
|
|
Options/Paths/PATH_ZMS to "/zm/cgi-bin/nph-zms" or according to chosen web
|
|
site configuration.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Changing the location for images and events
|
|
-------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Zoneminder, in its upstream form, stores data in /usr/share/zoneminder/. This
|
|
package modifies that by changing /usr/share/zoneminder/images and
|
|
/usr/share/zoneminder/events to symlinks to directories under
|
|
/var/cache/zoneminder.
|
|
|
|
There are numerous places these could be put and ways to do it. But, at the
|
|
moment, if you change this, an upgrade will fail with a warning about these
|
|
locations having changed (the reason for this was that previously, an upgrade
|
|
would silently revert the changes and cause event loss - refer
|
|
bug #608793).
|
|
|
|
If you do want to change the location, here are a couple of suggestions.
|
|
(thanks to vagrant@freegeek.org):
|
|
|
|
These lines in fstab could allow you to bind-mount an alternate location
|
|
|
|
/dev/sdX1 /otherdrive ext3 defaults 0 2
|
|
/otherdrive/zoneminder/images /var/cache/zoneminder/images bind defaults 0 2
|
|
/otherdrive/zoneminder/events /var/cache/zoneminder/events bind defaults 0 2
|
|
|
|
or if you have a separate partition for each:
|
|
|
|
/dev/sdX1 /var/cache/zoneminder/images ext3 defaults 0 2
|
|
/dev/sdX2 /var/cache/zoneminder/events ext3 defaults 0 2

Access to /dev/video*
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
For cameras which require access to /dev/video*, zoneminder may need the
|
|
www-data user added to the video group in order to see those cameras:
|
|
|
|
adduser www-data video
|
|
|
|
Note that all web applications running on the zoneminder server will then have
|
|
access to all video devices on the system.
