I wish zoneminder's setup was better - it's frankly abysmal. https://www.how2shout.com/linux/how-to-install-zoneminder-on... - and this may not even be up to date. The official docs are no help, only covering up to 18.04, and not being functional. There are docker images, but they're deprecated/unsupported. This may all have been de rigeur when zoneminder was first being created (in 2002!) but expecting this level of hackery to set up an application in 2023 is somewhat taking the piss. The UI isn't that much better - it's the kind of application sysadmins would build for each other, reminding me a lot of a typical router admin app.

Indeed it is true, I hated it when I was setting it up, but I love how it works now... So, I still recommend it, but only to people that don't mind looking at code if things don't work.
