I just tried Kyle's puppet module on an machine with an existing zoneminder database.

As expected, the module complains when it fails to add mysql account "zm", and it will not be able to start the zoneminder service. However, everything else is all in place and there are just a few steps one must perform to finish the upgrade:
  • Update /etc/zm.conf with your existing zm user and password
  • Run zmupdate:

    Code: Select all

    sudo zmupdate.pl --user=root --pass=<mysql_root_password>
  • start the zoneminder service:

    Code: Select all

    sudo service zm start
The puppet module is for Ubuntu distros and can be found here:

Visit my blog for ZoneMinder related projects using the Raspberry Pi, Orange Pi, Odroid, and the ESP8266
All of these can be found at https://zoneminder.blogspot.com/

I'm seeing something strange now. When I start (or restart) zm, I get two instances of zmwatch and zmupdate, and two instances of zma -m 3 (only have one monitor setup).
