Zabbix Community Dockerfiles

Zabbix Github repo is intended as a source for Zabbix Docker registry. Please use these community Zabbix Docker images, if you want to build/ship your own Zabbix Docker image.

zabbix-server-2.2

Compiled zabbix-server with almost all features (MySQL, Java, SNMP, Curl, Ipmi) and Zabbix web UI based on CentOS 7, Supervisor, Nginx, PHP. Image requires external MySQL database (you can run MySQL also as Docker container).

Zabbix database as Docker container

To be able to connect to database we would need one to be running first. Easiest way to do that is to use another docker image. For this purpose you can use million12/mariadb image as database.

**For more information about million12/MariaDB see documentation. **

Example:

docker run \
	-d \
	--name zabbix-db \
	-p 3306:3306 \
	--env="MARIADB_USER=username" \
	--env="MARIADB_PASS=my_password" \
	million12/mariadb

Remember to use the same credentials when deploying zabbix-server image.

Environmental Variable

In this Image you can use environmental variables to connect into external MySQL/MariaDB database.

DB_USER = database user
DB_PASS = database password
DB_ADDRESS = database address (either ip or domain name)

Zabbix server deployment

Now when we have Zabbix database running we can deploy zabbix-server image with appropriate environmental variables set.

Example:

docker run \
	-d \
	--name zabbix \
	-p 80:80 \
	-p 10051:10051 \
	--env="DB_ADDRESS=database_ip" \
	--env="DB_USER=username" \
	--env="DB_PASS=my_password" \
	zabbix/zabbix-server-2.2

Access to Zabbix web interface

To log in into zabbix web interface for the first time use credentials Admin:zabbix.

Access web interface under http://docker_host.ip

Docker troubleshooting

Use docker command to see if all required containers are up and running:

$ docker ps -f

Check online logs of Zabbix container:

$ docker logs zabbix

Attach to running Zabbix container (to detach the tty without exiting the shell, use the escape sequence Ctrl+p + Ctrl+q):

$ docker attach zabbix

Sometimes you might just want to review how things are deployed inside a running container, you can do this by executing a bash shell through docker's exec command:

docker exec -i -t zabbix /bin/bash

History of an image and size of layers:

docker history --no-trunc=true zabbix/zabbix-server-2.2 | tr -s ' ' | tail -n+2 | awk -F " ago " '{print $2}'

Run specific Zabbix version, e.g. 2.2.4 - just specify 2.2.4 tag for image:

	docker run \
		-d \
		--name zabbix \
		-p 80:80 \
		-p 10051:10051 \
		--env="DB_ADDRESS=database_ip" \
		--env="DB_USER=username" \
		--env="DB_PASS=my_password" \
		zabbix/zabbix-server-2.2:2.2.4
