Hello,

 

I upgraded some of my Dockers today to find out that my Zabbix Container won't start. The log shows the following:

 

7:20220701:124226.830 using configuration file: /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf
     7:20220701:124226.835 Unsupported DB! MariaDB version is 100803 which is higher than maximum of 100799
     7:20220701:124226.835  
     7:20220701:124226.835 Unable to start Zabbix server due to unsupported MariaDB database version (10.08.03).
     7:20220701:124226.835 Must not be higher than (10.07.xx).
     7:20220701:124226.835 Use of supported database version is highly recommended.
     7:20220701:124226.835 Override by setting AllowUnsupportedDBVersions=1 in Zabbix server configuration file at your own risk.
     7:20220701:124226.835

 

Anyone ran into the same situation lately? 

 

Any advice? Should I add the AllowUnsupportedDBVersions=1, is so, what is the best way to do it? Or Should I downgrade MariaDB?  (Sorry, I am not an expert in Docker Containers, still learning).

 

Thanks in Advance!!

If anyone is interested, I found the solution here:

https://hub.docker.com/r/zabbix/zabbix-server-mysql/

 

I was trying to add the Variable AllowUnsupportedDbVersions=1 as per documentation but the actual variable to add for Docker is:

ZBX_ALLOWUNSUPPORTEDDBVERSIONS=1

 

Solved the issue and Zabbix is now working. I know I should not use an unsupported MariaDB version (or at my own risk as they say) but I though it could help someone to update my own post.

 

Thanks! 

I have the same issue but I am "entry level" and have no idea how to edit /etc/zabbix/zabbix_server.conf in unraid

You don’t have to edit a config file, simply add: ZBX_ALLOWUNSUPPORTEDDBVERSIONS=1

 

in the docker config parameter.

 

Thanks.

 

I have no idea how to do that in Unraid - but was able to do it using portainer - up and running for now.....

If you Edit the config of your Zabbix Dicker, you have to create a new Variable (I attached a printscreen). You can give it a friendly name like I did but the variable name has to be:

ZBX_ALLOWUNSUPPORTEDDBVERSIONS and the value 1.

 

Hope this helps. I know you got it work but just in case you wanted to know.
