    Prepare a build environment


Provision and boot an ubuntu 22.04 installation (Bare metal or LXC), issue these commands to build a .deb package from ZM Dev branch.

apt update && apt dist-upgrade -y
apt install -y git curl gpg build-essential devscripts pkg-config cmake
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ZoneMinder/zoneminder/master/utils/do_debian_package.sh
chmod +x do_debian_package.sh
mv do_debian_package.sh /usr/local/bin/zm-builder
mkdir ~/zm-build
cd ~/zm-build
git clone  --recurse-submodules https://github.com/zoneminder/zoneminder ZoneMinder_ZoneMinder.git
zm-builder --snapshot=NOW --type=local --dput=no --interactive=no

# It will ask to install all required dependancies (build and runtime).

NOTE: The ZoneMinder_ZoneMinder.git directory will house the ZM source code, on upgrades it will pull any new commits in.
The .deb packages will start being built, this may take some time depending on your hardware.
Several files will be in the build dir ~/zm-build, look for a file similar to: zoneminder_1.37.xx-{TIMESTAMP}-{RELEASE_NAME}-{ARCH}.deb

(TIMESTAMP} is the date of whenever that package was built by you
{RELEASE_NAME} is the name of the Ubuntu release (22.04 is jammy)
{ARCH} is the host architecture

Example ls output of the build dir after building .deb packages.

The file we are looking for in the example shown is zoneminder_1.37.40~20230522213038-jammy_amd64.deb. Obviously, your filename will differ from this. At a minimum, the timestamp will be different.

Install ZoneMinder from the .deb package

cd ~/zm-build
apt install ./zoneminder_1.37.40~20230522213038-jammy_amd64.deb


Enable Apache modules, zoneminder WWW config and restart apache2 for the changes to take effect.

a2enmod rewrite headers cgi
a2enconf zoneminder
systemctl restart apache2.service


Setup TimeZone data for distro, php and mysql.

NOTE: All 3 must match or weird issues will occur!

Distro TZ setup

dpkg-reconfigure tzdata


MySQL TZ setup

Edit /etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf and add this line to the file with your TZ data


default-time-zone='-06:00'


PHP/ZM TZ setup

Navigate to ZoneMinder web GUI @ http://<ZM host machine IP>/zm
Select "Options" in the top navigation bar, this will bring you to Options>System
Scrool down until you find TIMEZONE and set it to your TZ


Enable/start zoneminder.service

systemctl enable zoneminder.service --now

How to update the ZoneMinder dev branch install

# Just cd into the build dir, remove old .deb packages (or keep them, they are timestamped) and run the shell script with those same args

# rm -f ~/zm-build/zoneminder*
cd ~/zm-build
zm-builder --snapshot=NOW --type=local --dput=no --interactive=no

# Wait for it to build, then install the .deb package

apt install ./zoneminder_1.37.XYZ-LMNOP.deb
