arm64 packages

[reedacus25]

Would love to see Zabbix begin publishing arm64(and armhf?) packages in the Debian/Ubuntu apt repos (and SLES/RHEL as well).

While I could probably install the raspbian armhf packages in ubuntu bionic on arm64, or I could build from source, it would be far more convenient to have the official repos support arm natively.

Ubuntu has arm64 native images for RPi3 and RPi4, as does the Nvidia Jetson Nano, and even SLES.

Seconding that, I'm using Ubuntu ARM64 on more of my RasPi3 devices. Also, Ubuntu has been updated to 20.04 LTS recently and official packages are at 18.04.

Same! Wanted to install Zabbix from packages on my Pi4 running Ubuntu's 20.04 arm64 image but noticed they only support armhf (Raspbian) or amd64 (Ubuntu)... Running Ubuntu images on Raspberry Pis is becoming ever more popular.

Ditto...Ubuntu on Pi4 is a great option.

I was under the impression that raspbian supports multiarch so you could actually install armhf packages if you add the 32bit architecture to the package manager of the arm64 build of raspbian. Has anyone tried that?

I'm going to follow up on this because I stumbled upon what appears to be an Ubuntu arm64 repo from Zabbix officially.

Instead of this for your apt source,

deb http://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/5.0/ubuntu

It looks like this can be used now,

deb https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/5.0/ubuntu-arm64/

Though I guess the encouraged way would be to install the release deb from https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/5.0/u...u20.04_all.deb

I haven't actually tested this at all, but it is something I just stumbled upon.
It appears to only exist for 5.0 and 5.2, and focal only.
Also, I have no idea why they created an entirely separate branch in the repo for ubuntu-arm64, instead of including it as another arch in the existing ubuntu repo like they do for amd64 and i386.
This seems unnecessarily hidden, cumbersome, and hacky.
But I can now do agent2 on arm64, and I can stop piecemealing together buster/sid packages when I decide to upgrade my server, so this is promising.

Would love some official comment on this if this is ready for production or any other gotchas to be aware of.

EDIT:
Found the ZBX Ticket detailing this, so I guess this sounds like its the real deal, the download webpage just hasn't been updated to reflect the new repo available.

Hi,
any chance Zabbix official will add support for ARM64 - Centos/Redhat/Amazon Linux 2 distributions?
ARM usage on the server side is increasing every day.

Hi
Prompt to be expected repository for AWS AMI Linux ARM64? Of course, can use the epel repo, but there is an old version of the packages

Hello,

Any change for RPM ARM package zabbix-agent2?

[joanma]

Hello,

I'm running 64bit Debian 12 on a RPi, arm64 architecture, with Nginx and MariaDB installed.
There's no direct path to install Zabbix 6.4 though, zabbix-nginx-conf and zabbix-sql-scripts are not found.
Any hints/help would be appreciated.
