Hi,

 

thanks for the nice howto. Just to add - we recommend to use packages.icinga.com as repository to receive bugfix and major feature releases faster than Debian upstream. https://icinga.com/docs/icinga2/latest/doc/02-installation/#debianubunturaspbian-repositories

 

Cheers,

Michael

Thank you for this guide. As of 2020 on Debian 10 it is mostly broken. Minimally, mariadb needs to be intalled as one of the first steps, and then mysql_secure_installation run. Then, before hitting the icinga2/setup website, a simlink needs to be created to prevent an installation-stopping error: "There is currently no icinga instance writing to the IDO"

The command to fix it is:ln -s /etc/icinga2/features-available/ido-mysql.conf /etc/icinga2/features-enabled/ido-mysql.conf

 Setup worked with http://ipaddress/icingaweb2

You need to run these before running "apt-get install icinga2-ido-mysql" :apt -y install mariadb-clientmysql_secure_installation

A lot of problems this HOW TO !

Try to do a better version or delete this here !

By: Ralph

The simple solution for Volker and Figoo is to let the work done by someone who knows what he's doing. Yes, there are bugs in this howto. Yes, they had been corrected by users. If someone isn't able to find out what's going wrong because he's not familar with what he's doing and/or has no clue about the things he's doing, he should not do such an installation. That's a fact, Jack!

Thank you for the howto. Thanks to the people that corrected the mistakes. Everything works fine so far here.

I disagree. I have to say that I dont know what im doing. But I want to. And if I have noone who knows about this then I have to self-learn it and a toutorial that has flaws all over the place is not really helpful for that. Mistakes are normal but you shouldnt critizise if someone points out that they exist. Otherwise they cant get fixed.

Hello, Hiteshi. Thank you for this howto. Works well in Debian GNU/Linux buster v10.4 . Please note that where it says

post_max_size 64M

should say

post_max_size=64M

See you in your next post.

By: vbits

Please! another tuto for Graphite and Director! :)

By: withanhdammit

Per PHP official documentation, post_max_size should be greater than upload_max_filesizeYou show: post_max_size=64M
upload_max_filesize=100M

See https://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.upload-max-filesize for information

Thanks for the tutorial!
