Why an old ubuntu? debian 12 is supported wich is our default.

Ubuntu vs Debian - debian install/update process less straightforward to stay up to date w/ latest ZM releases.
Old version - misread ZM docs when I started creating, can try w/ 24.04 and validate still builds.

@MickLesk

And why so many Missing informations, and old Comments from Dev Guide?

What information am I missing (other than the header metadata which should now be updated)? By old comments, are you referencing the comments on lines 8-24 of zoneminder.sh?

[michelroegl-brunner]

He means all the comments you have in there remove them.

Also please shorten all messages in msg_info and msg_ok. max 4 words per. Also during update, remove some of the messges, they are to much.
also remove the backup you created during update. backups have to be done by the user.

[connorjfarrell]

Removed comments, shorted msg_info+msg_ok messages, removed messages during update, removed backup from update function

Can you give it a try with debain 12 or at least ubuntu 24.04? Otherwise we have to update it latest next year anyway.

Can you give it a try with debain 12 or at least ubuntu 24.04? Otherwise we have to update it latest next year anyway.

also, the install script for debian is super simple:

!/bin/sh
clear
read -p "This script installs ZoneMinder 1.36.x on Debian 12 with LAMP (MySQL or Mariadb) installed...
This script must be run as root!
Press Enter to continue or Ctrl + c to quit" nothing
clear
apt install -y lsb-release gnupg2
echo "deb https://zmrepo.zoneminder.com/debian/release-1.36 "`lsb_release  -c -s`"/" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/zoneminder.list
wget -O - https://zmrepo.zoneminder.com/debian/archive-keyring.gpg | sudo apt-key add -
read -p "Warning! Check above to insure the line says OK. If not the GPG signing key was not installed and you will need to figure out why before continuing. 
Press enter to continue" nothing
apt update
clear
apt install zoneminder --install-recommends -y
systemctl enable zoneminder
service zoneminder start
adduser www-data video
a2enconf zoneminder
a2enmod rewrite
a2enmod headers
a2enmod expires
service apache2 reload
clear
read -p "Install complete. Open Zoneminder/Options and set the timezone. Press enter to continue" nothing
