Create custom widget for use with zabbix/zabbix-web-nginx-pgsql docker image

[preisinger]

In my compose file i have a zabbix-web section

 zabbix-web:
    # https://hub.docker.com/r/zabbix/zabbix-web-nginx-pgsql
    image: zabbix/zabbix-web-nginx-pgsql:${ZBX_IMAGE_TAG}
    restart: always
    network_mode: "host"
    environment:
      ZBX_SERVER_HOST: ${ZBX_SERVER_HOST}
      DB_SERVER_HOST: ${DB_SERVER_HOST}
      DB_SERVER_PORT: ${DB_SERVER_PORT}
      POSTGRES_USER: ${ZABBIX_DB_USER}
      POSTGRES_PASSWORD: ${ZABBIX_DB_PASSWORD}
      POSTGRES_DB: ${ZABBIX_DB_NAME}
    volumes:
      - ./volumes/zabbix-web/etc/ssl/nginx:/etc/ssl/nginx:ro
      - ./volumes/zabbix-web/etc/zabbix/web/certs:/etc/zabbix/web/certs:ro
      # - ./volumes/zabbix-web/usr/share/zabbix/modules:/usr/share/zabbix/modules
      # - ./volumes/zabbix-web/usr/share/zabbix/widgets:/usr/share/zabbix/widgets

If i uncomment those two volumes above, place my custom widget in the widgets directory and do a "Scan Directory" zabbix does find the widget but then all the other widgets are gone, I just see mine. To undo what I just did I have to comment those two volume mappings, scan the directory then enable all the original widgets that are found again.

How do I add a custom widget to a zabbix docker container implementation? I seem to be missing something.

Thanks,

Paul

After further reading I noticed that cusotm widgets need to go in the modules directory not widgets. I uncommented the modules volume, placed the widge in there, re-scanned and t worked.
