Official Zabbix Dockerfiles
What is Zabbix?
Zabbix is an enterprise-class open source distributed monitoring solution.
Zabbix is software that monitors numerous parameters of a network and the health and integrity of servers. Zabbix uses a flexible notification mechanism that allows users to configure e-mail based alerts for virtually any event. This allows a fast reaction to server problems. Zabbix offers excellent reporting and data visualisation features based on the stored data. This makes Zabbix ideal for capacity planning.

- zabbix-snmptraps - Additional container image for Zabbix server and Zabbix proxy to support SNMP traps
Docker Compose
[!NOTE] The following requires
makeanddocker composeversion 2.24.0 or greater.
You can use the Docker Compose files for MySQL or MariaDB, and PostgreSQL (compose.yaml and compose_pgsql.yaml, respectively) directly with the docker compose command. The required images and the Compose file behavior can be configured through environment variables and the .env file. By default, Alpine-based images and the latest version from the current branch are used.
In addition, a Makefile is provided to configure and run the required Docker Compose files, supporting a variety of base operating system and database engine combinations, as well as to build Zabbix components locally.
To get started clone this repository and then from the root directory of the repository run:
make help
To start with the default configuration run:
make up
Use variables to customize the configuration to suit your needs. For example, the following selects Postgres as the underlying database, alpine as the base OS, and exposes the web interface on ports 8282 and 8443:
make up DB=pgsql OS=alpine ZABBIX_WEB_NGINX_HTTP_PORT=8282 ZABBIX_WEB_NGINX_HTTPS_PORT=8443
Then to clean up run:
make down DB=pgsql
Provided compose files support several Compose profiles. Minimal set of services is brought up by default, to start additional components e.g. Zabbix Agent use profile 'full' or 'all'. Additionally, it is possible to start only required components.
Issues and Wiki
Be sure to check the Wiki-page on common problems and questions. If you still have problems with or questions about the images, please contact us through a GitHub issue.
[!NOTE] Please report here issues and feature requests related to Docker images only. If you have issues or ideas how to improve Zabbix, use official bug tracker.
Contributing
You are invited to contribute new features, fixes, or updates, large or small; we are always thrilled to receive pull requests, and do our best to process them as fast as we can.
Before you start to code, we recommend discussing your plans through a GitHub issue, especially for more ambitious contributions. This gives other contributors a chance to point you in the right direction, give you feedback on your design, and help you find out if someone else is working on the same thing.
