Fellow Zoneminder user!
One week into Pine and have also migrated my previous old Zoneminder server over. For the most part the published "Install Zoneminder on Ubuntu - the easy way" instructions worked well. Over the years, have installed Zoneminder about 6 times on Centos, Ubuntu, physical and VM systems, and never had one go 100% without a annoying issue ot two. Always get it working in the end. A good challenge on one in the past was getting the server to email alerts using a Gmail account because the local ISP blocked port 25.
My new build on Pine uses an external 1TB drive for the video files. Had to modify the symboloic links at /usr/share/zoneminder/www to pint to the external drive. Also had to disable Auth_relay in the Zoneminder Gui settings to get live video feeds working. This glitch only showed up after enabling username authentication. And of course there was the documented ZM-CGI path edit that needed to be changed.
All good so far. Only 3 cameras for now, but CPU is under 13%, and the system is also serviving up cloud content via Owncloud.
