Will ZM work with Ubuntu 20.10?

Post by eiger3970 »

Tried ZoneMinder back in 2012.
Trying again now with a new Security Camera.
1st thing is to install an Ubuntu server onto my Hypervisor server.
ZoneMinder install guide https://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/la ... -04-bionic only mentions 18.04?

You can install Docker Zoneminder on Ubuntu 20.10.

Please refer the following links for the installation details.

Ubuntu guides are here:
https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu

Specifically:
https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Ubuntu_Serv ... der_1.34.x

Trying anything not covered there, you are on your own.
fastest way to test streams:
ffmpeg -i rtsp://<user>:<pass>@<ipaddress>:554/path ./output.mp4 (if terminal only)
ffplay rtsp://<user>:<pass>@<ipaddress>:554/path (gui)
find paths on ispydb or in zm hcl

Please refer the following link to see how zoneminder master latest is installed on Ubuntu 20.10 (groove)
https://bkjaya.wordpress.com/2021/01/02 ... 10-groovy/

In this case zoneminder master 1.35.16~20201227195743-focal is installed on Ubuntu 20.10 (groove) as zoneminder master 1.35.16~20201227195743-groovy has some problem on Dependency wait on lgw01-amd64-002
After the official lgw01-amd64-002 is issued , you can directly install zoneminder master 1.35.16~20201227195743-groovy on Ubuntu 20.10

I don't recommend installing 1.35 (unstable) Zoneminder. New users should install the stable release on Zoneminder only (1.34, i.e. even numbers).

Zoneminder masater releases are for testing purpose . How can you test without installing ? I have just answered the question in the original post.
I wanted to show that the Zoneminder can be installed on Ubuntu 20.10 . No one can discourage me in doing experiments with Zoneminder
