In this video, I show how to install and compile Zabbix 7.0 from source on a 32-bit Debian-based system, using an automated bash script I wrote. This is ideal for anyone wanting to repurpose old hardware, such as Atom-based industrial PCs, into a functional network monitoring server.
The script handles everything — from package installation to compiling Zabbix, setting up MariaDB, configuring Apache + PHP, and creating systemd services. No need to manually follow long guides — just run the script and watch your 32-bit Zabbix server come to life.
💡 This project was originally created for a small office network using an old PC — great way to save hardware from the trash and put it to real use!
