zabbix-simple

This is meant to be a quick and simple setup of zabbix that can be used for testing purposes. It should at least support the specific tags/version mentioned below.

It's assumed that you run it on a Ubuntu 23.04 or Fedora 38, but can problably be used on similar distros.

Prerequirements

We're going to use podman or kubernetes (kubectl).

Podman on Ubuntu

sudo apt install -y podman python3-ldap python3-pip
# Depending on the package you might be missing a dependency. Install runc
sudo apt install runc
pip3 install --user pyzabbix

Podman on Fedora

sudo dnf install -y podman python3-ldap python3-pip
pip3 install --user pyzabbix

Kubernetes (kubectl)

Configuring this is out of scope for this repo. Use podman if you want a simple example.

Create zabbix/create pod

The ZABBIX_PASSWORD environment variable will be the password for the database.

The TAG environment variable should be set to the image tag you wish to run. E.g:

latest
alpine-7.0-latest (LDAP can't be configured through the API. post-init.py must be run with --no-ldap)
alpine-6.4-latest (LDAP can't be configured through the API. post-init.py must be run with --no-ldap)
alpine-6.2-latest (LDAP can't be configured through the API. post-init.py must be run with --no-ldap)
alpine-6.0-latest
alpine-5.4-latest
alpine-5.0-latest
alpine-4.4-latest
alpine-4.0-latest
alpine-3.4-latest (Beware that this image exposes the wrong ports. Change these manually if you really want to use this tag)
alpine-3.0-latest

Podman:

TAG=latest ZABBIX_PASSWORD=something envsubst < kubefile.yml | podman kube play -

Kubectl:

TAG=latest ZABBIX_PASSWORD=something envsubst < kubefile.yml | kubectl apply -f -
kubectl port-forward pod/zabbix-simple 8080:8080 10389:10389

Run post-init. You may change the default password with the --new-password parameter.

Beware that this might hang if ran very soon after the pod starts. Wait a bit longer.

python3 post-init.py http://localhost:8080 Admin --password zabbix --new-password zabbix

Connect

http://localhost:8080 (you could use a Nginx proxy in front of this).

There are three enabled users by post-init:

Admin: "Zabbix Super Admin". Password is the one set with post-init.py
User: "Zabbix Admin". Password is the one set with post-init.py
Guest: "Zabbix User". The normal guest user without password

LDAP is also configured and uses the users provided in the docker-test-openldap.
