Hello,

I have 1.32.3 running well for some time but would like to upgrade. I've tried searching but can't seem to find a definitive procedure for upgrading to 1.34.x

I'm running ZM on Ubuntu 18.04 running on a desktop PC.

lsb_release -d
Description: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS

mysql --version
mysql Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.7.24, for Linux (x86_64) using EditLine wrapper

apache2 -v
Server version: Apache/2.4.29 (Ubuntu)
Server built: 2018-10-10T18:59:25

php --version
PHP 7.2.10-0ubuntu0.18.04.1 (cli) (built: Sep 13 2018 13:45:02) ( NTS )

From what I have been able to gather the procedure to upgrade should be something like this:

1. Stop zoneminder
2. Add the repository - sudo add-apt-repository ppa:iconnor/zoneminder-1.34
3. Install the upgrade - sudo apt-get install --only-upgrade zoneminder
4. Start zoneminder

Is there anything that I'm missing?

Thank you very much for any insights.

This has been answered before.
Remove the 1.32 ppa
Add the 1.34 ppa
apt upgrade

Thank you very much for the link. I followed this and was able to upgrade without issues.

Ran into a database issue with update from 1.32.3 to 1.34.16, solution here: viewtopic.php?f=40&t=28942&start=30#p115801

Does it matter if you upgrade the OS (16.04.4 to 18.04.4 ubuntu) before or after doing this update? I'm also at 1.32.3... thanks!

My personal choice would be to update the OS first and try to end up on an LTS version of Ubuntu, I have Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS

These are the steps I used to patch the OS then upgrade ZM

add-apt-repository ppa:iconnor/zoneminder-1.34
apt-get update
apt-get upgrade
apt-get install --only-upgrade zoneminder


All went well but there seemed to a a 24 hour period where the web interface seemed sluggish, now much more responsive.

would this also work on an ARM based SBC? Using an Odroid HC1 with 1.32 and 5 cams, but would like to go to 1.34.

Backup the DB, and then go ahead and upgrade. If there's any errors, read the logs, then search here.
