This quick‑start guide walks you through installing Zabbix on Ubuntu and Debian, covering everything from system updates to pulling the proper packages. After adding the official repository and key, you install the server, frontend, and agent packages, then create a MySQL database with the utf8mb4 charset so that emojis and special characters render correctly in the UI. You load the initial schema, configure database credentials and PHP timezone settings, restart and enable services, and finally test login to confirm everything is operational. The guide also reminds you to sync time with NTP, open necessary firewall ports 10050 and 10051, and add your own host for basic monitoring before expanding the system.

The guide explains how to install runit on Devuan as a lightweight alternative to systemd, starting with a quick apt-get command and then showing how to create service directories under /etc/sv. It walks you through writing a run script that keeps your process in the foreground, linking each directory into /var/service so runit can supervise it from boot onward. The article also offers practical troubleshooting advice—fixing permission problems, avoiding unit‑file confusion—and demonstrates how to set up multiple services like nginx, Docker, or MySQL with minimal effort. Finally, it notes runit's limitations for advanced socket activation or networking hooks and suggests considering other init systems when those features are required, but overall encourages keeping your Devuan box running smoothly without the bloat of systemd.
