Disk: 25 GB
RAM: 1GB
vCPU: 2
Operating System: Ubuntu 20.04
Web Server: Apache
Database: Mysql 8 or MariaDB
PHP: 7.2 Must

Step #01: Must be server update and upgrade then change host name.

Zabbix-Srv:~# apt update && apt upgrade -y
Zabbix-Srv:~# apt autoremove -y
Zabbix-Srv:~# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost
10.66.10.15 Zabbix-Srv.technologyrss.local Zabbix-Srv

See hostname file like as below.

Zabbix-Srv:~# cat /etc/hostname
Zabbix-Srv

Must be change preserve_hostname: false to preserve_hostname: true
Then reboot your server.

Zabbix-Srv:~# reboot

Step #02: Download zabbix 5.0 file then install.

Zabbix-Srv:~# wget https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/5.0/ubuntu/pool/main/z/zabbix-release/zabbix-release_5.0-1+focal_all.deb
Zabbix-Srv:~# dpkg -i zabbix-release_5.0-1+focal_all.deb
Zabbix-Srv:~# apt update

Step #03: Setup php repo and install php7.2.

Zabbix-Srv:~# add-apt-repository -y ppa:ondrej/php
Zabbix-Srv:~# apt-get update
Zabbix-Srv:~# apt-get install -y php7.2 php7.2-cli php7.2-common php7.2-curl php7.2-gd php7.2-json php7.2-mbstring php7.2-intl php7.2-mysql php7.2-xml php7.2-zip php7.2-bcmath

Now install zabbix main package and mysql server 8. When I create video then using MariaDB but this web guide is using mysql 8 latest version. So if you want use any database for zabbix.

Zabbix-Srv:~# apt install -y zabbix-server-mysql zabbix-frontend-php zabbix-apache-conf zabbix-agent mysql-server

Edit time zone from php.ini file.

Zabbix-Srv:~# vi /etc/php/7.2/apache2/php.ini

Like as below:

date.timezone=Asia/Dhaka

Also change from below file.

Zabbix-Srv:~# vi /etc/zabbix/apache.conf

Like as below:

php_value date.timezone Asia/Dhaka

Step #04: Create database and import default database.

Zabbix-Srv:~# mysql -uroot -p

Then run below command for MariaDB

MariaDB [(none)]> create database zabbix_db character set utf8 collate utf8_bin;
MariaDB [(none)]> grant all privileges on zabbix_db.* to 'zabbix_user'@'localhost' identified by 'passw0rd@123';
MariaDB [(none)]> flush privileges;
MariaDB [(none)]> exit

Below command for mysql 8

Mysql > create user 'zabbix_user'@'localhost' identified by 'zabbix_user123';
Mysql > grant all privileges on zabbix_db.* to 'zabbix_user'@'localhost' with grant option;
Mysql > alter user 'zabbix_user'@'localhost' identified with mysql_native_password BY 'zabbix_user123';
Mysql > flush privileges;
Mysql > exit

Then mysql service restart using below command.

Zabbix-Srv:~# service mysql restart

Import database using zcat command.

Zabbix-Srv:~# zcat /usr/share/doc/zabbix-server-mysql*/create.sql.gz | mysql -uroot -p zabbix_db    //Mysql default root password is blank

Must be edit zabbix_server.conf file DBName, DBUser and DBPassword.

Zabbix-Srv:~# vi /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf

Insert all below lines into zabbix_server.conf file.

DBName=zabbix_db
DBUser=zabbix_user
DBPassword=passw0rd@123

Finally restart all service and enable.

Zabbix-Srv:~# systemctl restart zabbix-server zabbix-agent apache2
Zabbix-Srv:~# systemctl enable zabbix-server zabbix-agent apache2
