Installing this role is very simple: ansible-galaxy install dj-wasabi.zabbix-web
When the Zabbix Web needs to be running on the same host as the Zabbix Server, please also install the Zabbix Server by executing the following command: ansible-galaxy install dj-wasabi.zabbix-server

This role has 1 "hardcoded" dependency: geerlingguy.apache.
As it is also possible to run the zabbix-web on a different host than the zabbix-server, the zabbix-server is not configured to be an dependency.
There are 2 ways for using the zabbix-web:
- Single instance
- Multi host setup
When there is one host running both Zabbix Server and the Zabbix Web (Running MySQL as database):
- hosts: zabbix-server
become: yes
roles:
- { role: geerlingguy.apache }
- { role: zabbix_server, database_type: mysql, database_type_long: mysql, server_dbport: 3306 }
- { role: zabbix_web, zabbix_url: zabbix.dj-wasabi.nl, database_type: mysql, database_type_long: mysql, server_dbport: 3306}
This is a 2 host setup. On 1 host (Named: zabbix-server)the Zabbix Server is running and 1 host (Named: zabbix-web) where the Zabbix Web is running (Running MySQL as database):
- hosts: zabbix-server
become: yes
roles:
- { role: zabbix_server, database_type: mysql, database_type_long: mysql, server_dbport: 3306 }
- hosts: zabbix-web
become: yes
roles:
- { role: geerlingguy.apache }
- { role: zabbix_web, zabbix_server_hostname: zabbix-server, zabbix_url: zabbix.dj-wasabi.nl, database_type: mysql, database_type_long: mysql, server_dbport: 3306 }
Sometimes you need to add environment variables to your
zabbix.conf.php for example to add LDAP CA Certificates. To do this add a zabbix_web_env dictionary.
- { role: zabbix_web, zabbix_url: zabbix.dj-wasabi.nl, database_type: mysql, database_type_long: mysql, server_dbport: 3306, zabbix_web_env: {LDAPTLS_CACERT: /etc/ssl/certs/ourcert.pem}
This role is configured to be tested with Molecule. Molecule will boot at least 3 different kind of containers, each of the supported Operating System (Debian, Ubuntu and Red Hat). Pull Requests are only merged when the tests are succeeding.
