Installing Zabbix server and frontend as custom apps

Apps and Virtualization

I currently have my Zabbix server running on a NUC, but I was wanting to install it on my truenas server so everything is centralized. I’ve started trying to install it, but it’s looking like it may be a bigger headache than it’s worth. I was able to get it working successfully using portainer, but I really want it in my apps list. I know this is probably a dumb thing to be doing, but I thought it would be cool. My issue is, I have the potgresql installed as a custom app , but the zabbix server custom app just shows PostgreSQL server is not available. Waiting 5 seconds.
The postgresql shows the database is ready for connections

If you have it working in portainer, why not just copy that compose and it use it as a custom yaml app in the Scale UI?

Also assuming you are running Scale 24.10.

That does work, but it doesn’t allow for adding in the portal config for the web UI button in the apps menu. If anyone knows how to add that to my yaml I will be set.

I tried adding PORTAL_HTTP_PORT: 8080 in the environment for the zabbix frontend, but it didn’t do anything

Nevermind I found a thread explaining how to do this.

Thanks for the help! I’m up and running now

Here is my yaml in case anyone else wants to do this. You will just need to replace testdb, testpassword, and testuser in the 3 different spots.
services:
postgresql-server:
container_name: postgresql-server
environment:
POSTGRES_DB: testdb
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: testpassword
POSTGRES_USER: testuser
image: postgres:latest
restart: unless-stopped
volumes:
- postgresql-data:/var/lib/postgresql/data
zabbix-agent2:
container_name: zabbix-agent2
depends_on:
- zabbix-server
environment:
ZBX_HOSTNAME: zabbix-server
ZBX_SERVER_ACTIVE: zabbix-server
ZBX_SERVER_HOST: zabbix-server

In case somebody want’s to deploy ZABBIX directly from dockge

# Datasets tree:
# dockge
#   stack  <---- dataset dedicated for dockge Stacks Storage
#     zabbix ... <---- created from dockge for a stack named 'zabbix'
#                      corresponding to '.' in the Composer's volumes

# Variable:
SQL_PASSWORD= ... ...

The Composer YAML:

services:
  postgres:
    image: postgres:17-alpine
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      PUID: 568
      PGID: 568
      POSTGRES_USER: zabbix
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: ${SQL_PASSWORD}
      POSTGRES_DB: zabbix
    volumes:
      - ./zabbix_db:/var/lib/postgresql/data

  zabbix-server:
    image: zabbix/zabbix-server-pgsql:alpine-7.4-latest
    restart: unless-stopped
    environment:
      PUID: 568
      PGID: 568
      DB_SERVER_HOST: postgres
      POSTGRES_USER: zabbix
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: ${SQL_PASSWORD}
      POSTGRES_DB: zabbix
    ports:
      - 10051:10051
    depends_on:
      - postgres

      POSTGRES_D8: zabbix
      ZBX_SERVER_HOST: zabbix-server
