Sample docker-compose YAML&env settings for deploying Zabbix Server HA from container

[wyang]

I'd like to deploy Zabbix Server HA Cluster from container and thus request for help on the forum.

With reference to https://blog.zabbix.com/build-zabbix...ne-2021/18155/, how to configure zabbix server settings

• HANodeName
• NodeAddress

when HA Zabbix servers are on a same host? or on different hosts?

How to use the env variable ZBX_AUTOHANODENAME?

Any experience on deploying Zabbix Server HA Cluster from container and any sample docker-compose YAML file and environment variable settings for deploying Zabbix Server HA Cluster from container would be great help. Thank you.

Hello!
I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to deploying a Zabbix HA cluster in docker compose so I don't think me providing a sample would help. However for the people who will stumble across this post in the future, I would like to explain what the environment variable ZBX_AUTOHANODENAME does.

ZBX_AUTOHANODENAME environment variable automates the assignment of the HANodeName parameter. To use this you have to give it the value according to documentation provided in Docker Hub https://hub.docker.com/r/zabbix/zabbix-server-mysql:

ZBX_AUTOHANODENAME=fqdn

This will automatically assign the hostname of the container.

The zabbix-server docker image also provides a ZBX_AUTONODEADDRESS environment variable which takes the same value.

Hopefully this comment helps someone in the future
