Zabbix - Appdev Log

Will post my findings and question here.
https://forum.cloudron.io/topic/1211/zabbix-network-monitoring-solution?_=1603281202737
Cloudron Gitlab:
MySQL Version: https://git.cloudron.io/BrutalBirdie/zabbix-app
PostgreSQL Version: https://git.cloudron.io/BrutalBirdie/zabbix-app/-/tree/feature/pgsql -
So far so good.
The guys at Zabbix did a very good job.https://github.com/zabbix/zabbix-docker/tree/5.0/server-mysql/ubuntu
I will try to stay as close the the original
Dockerfileanddocker-entrypoint.shto make it easier for future updates.Also here their docker hub: https://hub.docker.com/r/zabbix/zabbix-server-mysql
They have this section: "Allowed volumes for the Zabbix server container"
Which should be all folders that need to be in
/app/data/including the/etc/zabbix/folder since it has important configuration.All the variables mentioned will be in a sample.env file and copied to
/app/data/.envand the/app/data/zabbix/config/zabbix_server.confwill be auto generated by thedocker-entrypoint.sh -
Error

Someone had this issue before:
TL;DR
I fixed my issue !
The solution is to convert every tables characters to utf8 and collation to utf8_bin. Not only the database default.
To do so I followed this method :
Code:
SELECT CONCAT('ALTER TABLE ',TABLE_SCHEMA,'.',TABLE_NAME,' CONVERT TO CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_bin;') FROM information_schema.TABLES WHERE TABLE_SCHEMA = 'databasename';Another suggested fix was this
For me, the resolution was to upgrade the MySQL version from 5.6 to 5.8. After that, the database was able to upgrade.
Could this be a Cloudron MySQL Issue @appdev ?

@Lonk said in Zabbix - Appdev Log:
Have you been able to try either of the suggestions you found? Is this an alternative to PHPMYAdmin or an alternative to MySQL?
Since this is the initial setup for zabbix, I would rather like it to work as intended instead of doing hotfixes in the initial installation
Feels just wrong.
Another Idea would be to switch to postgres instead of mysql.
https://github.com/zabbix/zabbix-docker/tree/5.0/server-pgsql/ubuntu
Postgres may be even the better option... hmm

Wait? What? Sorry just re-read your question.
Is this an alternative to PHPMYAdmin or an alternative to MySQL?
You mean, is Zabbix is an alternative to PHPMYAdmin or an alternative to MySQL?
Answer is no
see https://www.zabbix.com/ -
@ruihildt
Since you just liked/upvoted.Would you prefer postgres over mysql?
-
@BrutalBirdie It seems outside historical LAMP apps, most of the time Postgres is chosen as the more mature and stable RDBMS.
This is even not taking into account Mysql belonging to Oracle, which has spun of the MariaDB fork.
So yeah, I think you can't go wrong by going with Postgres instead of Mysql.
-
Sorry I just meant is there a way to use an alternative database protocol, but I try to keep original open source code as close to vanilla as possible for updates too. Iāll look into this again. Did you just start packaging it for Cloudron and the Cloudron SQL service is giving you issues?
-
Next Issue now with PostgreSQL
/usr/sbin/zabbix_server --foreground -c /app/data/zabbix/config/zabbix_server.conf /usr/sbin/zabbix_server: error while loading shared libraries: libnetsnmp.so.30: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directoryShould be this package, but not existent in
cloudron/base:2.0.0imagelibsnmp35Edit - very simple why
libsnmp35is for focal Ubuntu 20.04 and Cloudron is not based on focal -

MySQL and PostgreSQL are supported.
edit:
From Zabbix Docs - https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/current/manual/installation/requirementsMySQL 5.5.62 - 8.0.x Required if MySQL is used as Zabbix backend database. InnoDB engine is required. MariaDB (10.0.37 or later) also works with Zabbix. We recommend using the MariaDB Connector/C library for building server/proxy regardless of whether you use a MySQL or MariaDB database server. -
@BrutalBirdie Zabbix proposes specific build steps for different Ubuntu versions no? If so, changing the Ubuntu target should fix that error.

Yes but sadly their Docker based setups are all based on Ubuntu:focal, see ->

https://github.com/zabbix/zabbix-docker/blob/5.0/server-mysql/ubuntu/DockerfileI wonder if theyāre based on focal because thatās the latest or if they actually need features from focal. Maybe bionic would work as a target without any changes?
-
@Lonk The 4.4 Version is based on Bionic
https://github.com/zabbix/zabbix-docker/blob/4.4/server-mysql/ubuntu/Dockerfile
I will have a look what the diff is compared to focal.
Edit - the answer is not much.
View a of a nice diff.
https://github.com/zabbix/zabbix-docker/compare/5.0...BrutalBirdie:feature/cloudronKeep this local diff - because I will delete my fork later.

@BrutalBirdie Perfect!
So, if you change:
FROM ubuntu:focal
to
FROM ubuntu:bionicDoes Docker itself still build and run it correctly? Cause that would be promising.

Did not try that, but can try.
btw.
I refuse to provide ugly diffs so I abused github nowhttps://github.com/zabbix/zabbix-docker/compare/5.0...BrutalBirdie:feature/cloudron

@BrutalBirdie When you make those changes, is there any issues? Cause if not, whatās holding you back from a full 5.0 upgrade? Just switching the database protocol? Did your previous Cloudron version not have any issues with MySQL?
Since the Cloudron Base Image is going to stay at
ubuntu:bionicfor awhile according to the devs. Despite Cloudron itself supporting focal in 6.0. -

It did not work once for now with cloudron.I want the 5.0.4 LTS Version, on
bionicorfocalI don't care. But have to usebionicsince cloudron base image yada. -
@BrutalBirdie Yeah, best chance is to switch to Postegrl but I def understand you not wanting to do them because then upgrades will be harder to do. Iām the same way.
I personally hate converting the āsmall containerā
FROM alpineto Cloudron sometimes because so many DOCKERFILE lines have to be changed since they donāt use the same packaging system. But āsmall containersā are the new thing so I gotta get used to that when converting to Cloudron.
