Upgrade from 1.30.4?

[SkippyDo]

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.

You should be ok. Recommend you take a dump of the zm database first and run the upgrade from a terminal.

Would following these instructions be all that's necessary?

Not exactly. You will need to
sudo systemctl stop zoneminder

edit the sources.list

sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list

Remove the entry for the 1.30 version. Likely the last line in the file

Add the following line to the end of the file

deb https://zmrepo.zoneminder.com/debian/release-1.34 buster/

CTRL+o then [Enter] to save

CTRL+x to exit

Install the following and retrieve the key from the repo

sudo apt install apt-transport-https gnupg

wget -O - https://zmrepo.zoneminder.com/debian/ar ... eyring.gpg | sudo apt-key add -

Important - Make sure the above "wget" process completes without error! If it does not complete you will not get the most recent Zoneminder version this procedure is written for.

sudo apt update

Then

sudo apt upgrade
