Installs and configures the **latest available Zabbix LTS release** on Ubuntu 24.04 Server.
Automated installer for **Zabbix 7.0 LTS (Server + Web UI + Agent)** on Ubuntu 24.04.
This is a **production-focused installer**, not a demo.
This is not a demo stack — it deploys a **production monitoring platform** with Nginx, PHP-FPM, and MariaDB/MySQL support.
Socket authentication is detected automatically. No manual SQL typing. No UI-wizard guesswork.
It assumes Nginx, PHP-FPM, and either MariaDB or MySQL are already installed and running.
This script works with both MariaDB and MySQL, with or without socket authentication.

## Related Installers
If you don’t have the required components, you can use these compatible installers:
- [Nginx + PHP-FPM Installer](https://git.x-files.dk/webserver/nginx-ubuntu)
- [MariaDB Installer](https://git.x-files.dk/database/mariadb-ubuntu)
---
## Download the Script
Clone this repository to your server:
```
git clone https://git.x-files.dk/network/zabbix-ubuntu.git
```
```
cd zabbix-ubuntu
```
---
## Usage
Run the installer using:
```
sudo ./zabbixinstall -n <domain> -p <zabbixdbpassword> [ -a <adminuser> ] [ -m <adminpwd> ]
```
---
## Examples
The installer automatically detects whether socket authentication is active.
```
# Socket authentication enabled:
sudo ./zabbixinstall -n zabbix.example.com -p zabbixdbpwd
# Socket authentication disabled (root password):
sudo ./zabbixinstall -n zabbix.example.com -p zabbixdbpwd -a root -m rootpwd
# Socket authentication disabled (admin user):
sudo ./zabbixinstall -n zabbix.example.com -p zabbixdbpwd -a admin -m adminpwd
```
---
## Options
| Flag | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `-p <password>` | Zabbix database user password |
| `-a <username>` | Optional database admin username (defaults to `root`) |
| `-m <password>` | Database root or admin password — *required only if socket authentication is disabled* |
| `-h`, `--help` | Show help screen (reflects detected socket status) |
---
## Features
- Installs and configures Zabbix LTS automatically
- Works with both MariaDB and MySQL
- Supports socket and password-based authentication
- Creates database and user with correct privileges
- Imports Zabbix schema automatically
- Generates Nginx host configuration dynamically
- Integrates cleanly with PHP-FPM
- Enables and starts Zabbix services
- Safe to re-run due to `IF NOT EXISTS` logic
---
## Configuration Details
### File Locations
| File | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `/etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf` | Main Zabbix server configuration |
| `/usr/share/zabbix-sql-scripts/mysql/server.sql.gz` | Database schema imported by installer |
| `/etc/nginx/conf.d/<domain>.conf` | Generated Nginx virtual host |
| `/etc/nginx/nginx-snippets` | Shared include snippets and templates |
---
## Behavior
- The installer automatically detects whether **socket authentication** is active.
If active, it connects as `root` without requiring a password.
- If socket authentication is **not** detected, you must supply database admin credentials using `-m` (and optionally `-a`).
- This applies **equally to both MariaDB and MySQL** — the authentication logic is identical.
- Automatically sets and resets `log_bin_trust_function_creators` during schema import.
- Validates Nginx configuration (`nginx -t`) before restarting.
---
## Nginx Integration
The generated Zabbix config file listens on port 80.
To enable HTTPS (port 443), use the example provided:
https://git.x-files.dk/webserver/nginx-snippets/src/branch/main/hostfiles/zabbix.443.conf
> **NOTE**
> The generated config includes optional caching directives (commented out).
> You may enable them for improved performance.
> Look for:
> ```
> ##### Cache js css static content and open files start #####################
> # include /etc/nginx/nginx-snippets/cache-open-files.conf;
> # include /etc/nginx/nginx-snippets/cache-statics.conf;
> # include /etc/nginx/nginx-snippets/cache-js-css.conf;
> ##### Cache js css static content and open files stop ######################
> ```
---
## Troubleshooting
**Nginx fails to restart**
Run `nginx -t` and check any errors in `/etc/nginx/conf.d/<domain>.conf`.
**Access denied during database creation**
Your database (MariaDB or MySQL) is likely **not** using socket authentication.
Re-run with the `-m` flag and optional `-a` to supply credentials.
**PHP version mismatch**
Ensure your PHP-FPM service (`php8.3-fpm`, etc.) is running.
**Schema import fails**
Verify that `/usr/share/zabbix-sql-scripts/mysql/server.sql.gz` exists.
If missing, reinstall the `zabbix-sql-scripts` package.
---
## FAQ
**Q:** Why doesn’t the installer ask for a database password by default?
**A:** Ubuntu uses socket authentication for MariaDB and MySQL, allowing `root` to connect without a password.
The installer detects this automatically.
**Q:** Can I safely re-run the installer?
**A:** Yes. Database and user creation use `IF NOT EXISTS`.
Existing Nginx configuration is overwritten, but no data is removed.
**Q:** Does the installer modify existing Nginx settings?
**A:** No. It adds a standalone file in `/etc/nginx/conf.d/` and validates the config before applying changes.
