Would following these instructions be all that's necessary?

I imagine that this is a long-shot but figured I'd ask it anyway: Is it possible (within reason) to upgrade to 1.34.x from 1.30.4?

I will be doing an upgrade (rather than fresh install) of Buster. Just too many configuration/modifications to start from scratch.

Many thanks for the input!

I suppose it pays to procrastinate Looking forward to upgrading: I make regular backups on a separate partition, so should be good there.

Is it possible to [successfully :wink: ] UPGRADE both ZM and Debian, from ZM 1.30.4 on Debian 9 to ZM 1.33.x on Debian 10? My current server has quite a few configurations that I'd rather not risk trashing as would happen with a fresh install: I try to maintain copies of config files (in a sudo repo...

Please report back on how this combo is working for you. I tried it and ended up with database corruptions and couldn't get it to be stable under Debian "Buster."

In case someone trips across this... Make sure that you select a version of ZM that actually works on the intended platform. I jumped up to version 1.32 and found that I couldn't make it stable under Debian (because I had to run the development branch of Debian- most likely not a ZM issue). Had to r...

Verify that your directory where tokens.txt is to be created allows write permission for your web server. I recently had the file blitzed (no idea why) and it wasn't getting recreated. For me, I set the permissions to that of the web server group and no longer any issues.

Yes, exactly, Debian Sid is unstable, in which case I decided to not spend a lot of time trying to do anything more with the database. For all I know there are/were underlying system libraries that were causing conflicts. I have plenty of system resources (I WAY over-spec'd my hardware), so probably...

It works fine, even under ZM 1.30.4. I am not, however, running the detection bits, just push notifications (and no images- although I don't claim to be the definitive source, I don' believe this function will work with a ZM version older than 1.32. I went by the installation documentation (tip of t...

Thanks for the response! There's so many different bits in this entire system. It can be a bit daunting. I'm kind of a masochist, so I tend to readily get myself in over my head, but I try to learn in the process. Not that I needed it, but, and it says so in the code, I wasn't able to get an index i...

Wow, a blast from the past! I bailed on ZM 1.32.3 and Debian Sid as it proved too unstable: back to running ZM 1.30.4 on Debian Stretch. I did, however, get things working, though kept getting database crashes; so, this combination, IMO, is not ready for prime time (and I would discourage others fro...

Awesome, that did the trick. Thanks! Curious, I thought that this WAS supposed to be using web sockets. It's using FCM? I'm totally not up on any of this though. Oh! I have verified that alerts (push notifications) DO come through when zmNinja is backgrounded. Bottom line: All is working as well as ...

I'm trying to get just simple push notifications (w/o hooks) working under ZM 1.30.4 on Debian Stretch. (had it, along with hooks, working under ZM 1.32.3 on Debian Sid [overall system was unstable so I reverted back]) As far as I can tell everything seems set up OK, but it's not working. Using conf...

Great work can you please share some information Zoneminder version are you using Debian what procedure did you use for the Push notification I had been running ZM 1.32.3 and Debian Sid but it was too unstable (nothing to do with zmeventnotification and or the AI bits). I have reverted back to ZM 1...

Still, I would not be in a hurry to upgrade a critical ZM server that is running well. We will likely be testing once Buster is in Beta so the WIKI can be updated. I totally concur. I drove forward with ZM 1.32.3 and Debian Sid and ended up with lots of problems (database corruptions). I since have...
