    Zabbix Frontend: "DB type is not set"

    In an attempt to reduce page loading times on my existing Zabbix install (some of which take many minutes to load on a modern system with a single tracked host), I downloaded the preconfigured Zabbix 5.0 LTS (.raw) VM. After running it on my Fedora 30 box with
    Code:
    qemu-system-x86_64 -m 8196 -smp cores=8 -drive format=raw,file=zabbix_appliance-5.0.0.raw -vnc :0 -net user,hostfwd=tcp::80-:180,hostfwd=tcp::222-:22 -net nic,model=e1000
    I found multiple issues.

    First, I saw that Zabbix failed to start out of the box. I needed to copy my zabbix_server.conf from my existing installation to this VM to even let it start (that config was empty on the VM when I got it). But now when navigating to the HTTP page I see: Configuration file error; DB type is not set. The log file doesn't seem to show any critical issues, the Zabbix-Server journal shows no issues at all. Any ideas?
