wget https://repo.zabbix.com/zabbix/7.2/release/debian/pool/main/z/zabbix-release/zabbix-release_latest_7.2+debian12_all.deb

dpkg -i zabbix-release_latest_7.2+debian12_all.deb

Install mysql

wget https://dev.mysql.com/get/mysql-apt-config_0.8.30-1_all.deb

sudo dpkg -i mysql-apt-config_0.8.30-1_all.deb

Error on this new install, where lsb-release is not installed

apt-get install lsb-release

Try again…

dpkg -i mysql-apt-config_0.8.30-1_all.deb

Error, gnupg not installed

apt install gnupg2

Give it another go…

dpkg -i mysql-apt-config_0.8.30-1_all.deb

I had to list upgradable packages :

apt-list --upgradable

Which spit out : mysql-common/unknown 8.4.4-1debian12 all [upgradable from: 5.8+1.1.0]

Then installed mysql-common

apt-get install mysql-common

Had to uninstall Mariadb to resolve these conflicts

apt remove mariadb-client-core

Then install mysql-server:

apt install mysql-server

Enter your password, twice

Now enter mysql by typing :

mysql -u root -p

Enter the following command individually Where ‘password’ is where you type in your actual own password

mysql> create database zabbix character set utf8mb4 collate utf8mb4_bin;
mysql> create user zabbix@localhost identified by 'password';
mysql> grant all privileges on zabbix.* to zabbix@localhost;
mysql> set global log_bin_trust_function_creators = 1;
mysql> quit;

Populate the database with zabbix script

zcat /usr/share/zabbix/sql-scripts/mysql/server.sql.gz | mysql --default-character-set=utf8mb4 -uzabbix -p zabbix

mysql --u root -p

set global log_bin_trust_function_creators = 0;
quit;
