Install Zabbix without ROOT privileges is it possible?

[[email protected]]

Reading here it's possible!

https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/current/manual/installation/requirements/best_practices

really?

There are problems with this installation?

By default it's designed to run as non-root, so if you just get the packages from https://zabbix.com/download it will run as non-root (but as user zabbix).

Oh, sorry, confused "running" with "install". :-D

It is not a problem to download the binaries (or compile them) and run them as any user. E. g.

~/bin/zabbix_server -c ~/conf/zabbix_server.conf

You only need to make sure that user has access to the resources specified in the configuration file, e. g. LogFile, PidFile, SocketDir etc.

Nowhere in that linked page is said, that you can install it without root permissions.......
