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 web interface is a part of Zabbix software. It is used to manage resources under monitoring and view monitoring statistics.
Images are updated when new releases are published.
Zabbix web interface available in four editions:
The image based on Nginx web server with MySQL database support.
zabbix-web-nginx-mysqlStart a Zabbix web-interface container as follows:
podman run \
--name some-zabbix-web-nginx-mysql \
-e DB_SERVER_HOST="some-mysql-server" \
-e MYSQL_USER="some-user" \
-e MYSQL_PASSWORD="some-password" \
-e ZBX_SERVER_HOST="some-zabbix-server" \
-e PHP_TZ="some-timezone" \
-d registry.connect.redhat.com/zabbix/zabbix-web-mysql-74:tag
Where some-zabbix-web-nginx-mysql is the name you want to assign to your container, some-mysql-server is IP or DNS name of MySQL server, some-user is user to connect to Zabbix database on MySQL server, some-password is the password to connect to MySQL server, some-zabbix-server is IP or DNS name of Zabbix server or proxy, some-timezone is PHP like timezone name and tag is the tag specifying the version you want.
podman run \
--name some-zabbix-web-nginx-mysql \
--link some-zabbix-server:zabbix-server \
-e DB_SERVER_HOST="some-mysql-server" \
-e MYSQL_USER="some-user" \
-e MYSQL_PASSWORD="some-password" \
-e ZBX_SERVER_HOST="some-zabbix-server" \
-e PHP_TZ="some-timezone" \
-d registry.connect.redhat.com/zabbix/zabbix-web-mysql-74:tag
podman run \
--name some-zabbix-web-nginx-mysql \
--link some-mysql-server:mysql \
-e DB_SERVER_HOST="some-mysql-server" \
-e MYSQL_USER="some-user" \
-e MYSQL_PASSWORD="some-password" \
-e ZBX_SERVER_HOST="some-zabbix-server" \
-e PHP_TZ="some-timezone" \
-d registry.connect.redhat.com/zabbix/zabbix-web-mysql-74:tag
The podman exec command allows you to run commands inside a Podman container. The following command line will give you a bash shell inside your zabbix-web-nginx-mysql container:
$ podman exec -ti some-zabbix-web-nginx-mysql /bin/bash
The Zabbix web interface log is available through Podman's container log:
$ podman logs some-zabbix-web-nginx-mysql
When you start the zabbix-web-nginx-mysql image, you can adjust the configuration of the Zabbix web interface by passing one or more environment variables on the podman run command line.
ZBX_SERVER_HOSTThis variable is IP or DNS name of Zabbix server. By default, value is zabbix-server.
ZBX_SERVER_PORTThis variable is port Zabbix server listening on. By default, value is 10051.
DB_SERVER_HOSTThis variable is IP or DNS name of MySQL server. By default, value is 'mysql-server'
DB_SERVER_PORTThis variable is port of MySQL server. By default, value is '3306'.
MYSQL_USER, MYSQL_PASSWORD, MYSQL_USER_FILE, MYSQL_PASSWORD_FILEThese variables are used by Zabbix web-interface to connect to Zabbix database. With the _FILE variables you can instead provide the path to a file which contains the user / the password instead. When secrets are not managed by an orchestrator, you also have to mount the files. Those are exclusive so you can just provide one type - either MYSQL_USER or MYSQL_USER_FILE!
podman run \
--name some-zabbix-web-nginx-mysql \
-e DB_SERVER_HOST="some-mysql-server" \
-v ./.MYSQL_USER:/run/secrets/MYSQL_USER \
-e MYSQL_USER_FILE=/run/secrets/MYSQL_USER \
-v ./.MYSQL_PASSWORD:/run/secrets/MYSQL_PASSWORD \
-e MYSQL_PASSWORD_FILE=/var/run/secrets/MYSQL_PASSWORD \
-e PHP_TZ="some-timezone" \
-d registry.connect.redhat.com/zabbix/zabbix-web-mysql-74:tag
Podman secrets can be used to avoid exposing credentials in the command line:
printf "zabbix" | podman secret create MYSQL_USER -
printf "zabbix" | podman secret create MYSQL_PASSWORD -
podman run \
--name some-zabbix-web-nginx-mysql \
-e DB_SERVER_HOST="some-mysql-server" \
-e MYSQL_USER_FILE=/run/secrets/MYSQL_USER \
-e MYSQL_PASSWORD_FILE=/run/secrets/MYSQL_PASSWORD \
-e ZBX_SERVER_HOST="some-zabbix-server" \
