Zabbix is an open-source monitoring software for servers, network devices, and applications. In this tutorial, we will look at how to install Zabbix on Linux Mint.
Before we start, ensure you have the following installed:
Zabbix is not included by default in the Linux Mint repositories, so we need to add the Zabbix Apt repository to the system.
Run the following command in the terminal to install the necessary package dependencies:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install wget curl
Then, use the following command to download the Zabbix source package from its repository:
wget https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/5.4/ubuntu/pool/main/z/zabbix-release/zabbix-release_5.4-1+ubuntu$(lsb_release -rs)_all.deb
After downloading the package, you can add the repository to the system using the following command:
sudo dpkg -i zabbix-release_5.4-1+ubuntu$(lsb_release -rs)_all.deb
Now that we have added the Zabbix Apt repository to our system, we can install the server components using the following command:
sudo apt-get install zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-frontend-php zabbix-apache-conf zabbix-agent
During the installation process, you will be prompted to provide details such as the database name, user, and password for Zabbix to connect to.
Once the installation process is complete, we need to configure some settings in Zabbix server.
Edit the zabbix_server.conf file:
sudo nano /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf
Find the following lines and replace them with your preferred values:
DBName=<Zabbix_DB_Name>
DBUser=<Zabbix_DB_User>
DBPassword=<Zabbix_DB_Password>
After
If you want to self-host in an easy, hands free way, need an external IP address, or simply want your data in your own hands, give IPv6.rs a try!
Alternatively, for the best virtual desktop, try Shells!
