How do I install Zabbix Agent 2 on a server without internet access?

The image above shows the error that occurs when trying to install Zabbix 5 with Agent2.

most important question is - whats the OS ? if its a supported platfrom and zabbix porvides official packages use them, dont mess with source code

any further advice is based on OS platform

It is an Ubuntu Server 20.04 LTS. But I think there is no way for me to install using the Zabbix Package method, because as I said, the server does not have and cannot access the internet, it is a very critical server and restricted to external accesses; and by the installation method via the deb package, following the instructions, any apt command will not work without an external connection.

If you're able to transfer source code there I don't see any reason you can't transfer downloaded package there and install it locally. Don't need to install it from repo.


sudo apt install /path/to/package/name.deb

It's definitely safer and better way don't forget that one day you might need to update agent and again it's safer and easier from package.

If you can transfer source code and can't transfer official package... strange policy.

I think I understand, because on the main Download page, only the zabbix-5 - * - release package is downloaded, which only adds the repository, but I can download all the zabbix-server, zabbix-frontend and zabbix-agent packages this link, this I can do. I will test. Is this package zabbix-agent install 2? I'll do the test.

I think that Agent 2 of Zabbix 5.0.6 for Ubuntu 20.04 (Focal) is the following package file.

https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/5.0/ubuntu/pool/main/z/zabbix/zabbix-agent2_5.0.6-2+focal_amd64.deb

As I said in the last answer, I was trying to install only through the zabbix-release package, available on the main Download page, after accessing the repository link with all the packages, I was able to understand your guidance and it respects our policy. Our policy is not confusing, I was the one who got it wrong.


With this package I was able to install agent2 without having to give external access to the server. Problem solved!
