ZoneMinder video camera security and surveillance

Currently zoneminder has to be installed from edge, make sure you have edge as pinned repo when you use stable.

ZoneMinder usually runs with apache, but in this short howto we use lighttpd.

First add the needed packages to our system

apk add zoneminder@edge mysql mysql-client lighttpd php-fpm # add phpmyadmin if you like to manage mysql from web interface

Initialize mysql database

/etc/init.d/mysql setup

set root password for mysql as instructed by mysql setup

We are running lighttpd so lets run php-fpm as lightppd user/group

vim /etc/php/php-fpm.conf

uncomment the php cgi fpm config in lighttpd.conf

vim /etc/lighttpd/lighttpd.conf

start lighttpd and php-fmp

/etc/init.d/lighttpd start

/etc/init.d/php-fpm start
