                      "rds:DescribeDBInstances",
                      "ecs:DescribeClusters",
                      "ecs:ListServices",

                      "ecs:ListClusters",
                      "s3:ListAllMyBuckets",
                      "s3:GetBucketLocation",
                      "elasticloadbalancing:DescribeLoadBalancers",
                      "elasticloadbalancing:DescribeTargetGroups",
                      "ec2:DescribeSecurityGroups",
                      "lambda:ListFunctions"
                  ],
                  "Effect": "Allow",
                  "Resource": "*"
              }

These compose files are added as examples; they are overloaded. For example, they contain proxies with both MySQL and SQLite3 support.

To obtain Docker compose files provided by Zabbix, clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/zabbix/zabbix-docker.git

Switch to the required version:

git checkout 7.0.1

Now go the the directory

vim .env and then change the starting 6 line

# Zabbix images
ZABBIX_ALPINE_IMAGE_TAG=alpine-7.0.1
ZABBIX_CENTOS_IMAGE_TAG=centos-7.0.1
ZABBIX_OL_IMAGE_TAG=ol-7.0.1
ZABBIX_UBUNTU_IMAGE_TAG=ubuntu-7.0.1
ZABBIX_RHEL_IMAGE_TAG=rhel-7.0.1
ZABBIX_LOCAL_IMAGE_TAG_POSTFIX=-local

Compose configuration files and create and start containers:

docker compose -f ./docker-compose_v3_alpine_mysql_latest.yaml up

Go to http://localhost or use http://publicip
