[EDIT] Can't install ZM on OrangePiPC+ (Armbian / Debian 10)

[laurentp]

Hi there,
I have an OrangePiPC+ (ARM, 4 core, 1.8GHz, 1GB RAM, 32GB uSD) with Armbian (Debian 10 for ARMHF + OPi specific kernel / initrd / bootloader), I have tried installation procedure for Debian https://zoneminder.readthedocs.io/en/st ... an-stretch only changing from "Stretch" to "Buster", it works until "apt install zoneminder", then it fails "no package found". Like it does not recognize repo.
What should I do?

If you followed those old instructions it will have given you the wrong line to add to /etc/apt/sources.list

Use this one instead.
deb https://zmrepo.zoneminder.com/debian/release-1.34 buster/

[laurentp]

THX, now it works, zoneminder found, it tries now to download dependencies (107 packages).
As I have 2x OPi's, will try on both.

[EDIT]
On second OPi unit, with "OOB" Armbian Buster, some progress:
(2 lines from bottom)
"MySQL/MariaDB not found; assuming remote server.
zoneminder.service is a disabled or a static unit not running, not starting it."

[EDIT2]
Same on "first" OPi unit, with Armbian Jessie updated to Buster (same kernel, same initrd but for some reason does not recognize 4 cores, only 1, so OpenHAB2 in java sometimes kills it, only reboot helps).

WIll explore this.

[EDIT3]
apt install mysql-server (from the same manual page),

"
Package mysql-server has no available version, but is referenced by another package
...
E: package mysql-server has no candidate for installation"
(backtranslating from Polish, so message may not be exact).
also apt search mysql shows no package with such name.

Whats next step?

[laurentp]

Ok, partially solved:
- on 32bit OPiPC+ package name is "default-mysql-server", NOT "mysql-server",
installed also apache2.
Reinstalled zoneminder package, found "creating zm db".
Now service starts, I can see perl scripts running (ps -ef), but going to http://server_name/zm leads to totally blank page.
a2enmod (all 3 statements) executed.
No errors in Apache log.

What should I look for?

Second question, CAN'T install ZM on 64 bit OPi3 (same(?) Armbian buster but 64 bit).
error message follows:

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

For some (mysterious to me, but I am new to 64bit world) it looks for 32bit packages (armhf, not arm64).

Last (added as instructed in this thread) of /etc/apt/sources.list are:
#Zoneminder repo
deb https://zmrepo.zoneminder.com/debian/release-1.34 buster/

Same question.

[iconnor]

I probably havn't built it for arm64.

You might be better off using our do_debian_package.sh script to build your own.

OK, where are instructions about this process? (URL) Compilation isn't new for me
