Can Zabbix be used in windows without server in linux ?

[Gopi21]

My Organization doesn't have a Linux environment and I would like to propose Zabbix as the monitoring tool, would there any possibility to run Zabbix without server running in a a Linux environment

[Atsushi]

A Linux or UNIX like OS server is required to build a Zabbix server environment.

I agree with Atsushi. The Zabbix server environment is architected exclusively for POSIX and POSIX-like systems.

Being primarily a UNIX & Linux user, what I don't know is the state of docker on Windows. If docker containers on Windows have advanced so they have parity or near-parity with those containers on Linux, it's possible that you could host the (Linux-based) docker containers on a Windows system. You would still have Linux in your environment, but at least for small to medium-sized installs, the containers are so self-contained that there's little management or Linux admin experience required.

The downside is that I don't think very many people have tried this path, so you would be in mostly unexplored territory. It's possible you'll run into problems that no one else here has seen or can provide any guidance for.

The simple answer, no you can't.
But, I managed to run Zabbix containers on windows 11 using WSL 2, I followed this tutorial https://hackernoon.com/how-to-run-do...ndows-ti1i3uxr and it works. I wouldn't suggest using this in production.
