IMPORTANT : because I have install a LAMP Server,so I remove mariadb-cli and mariadb-server package. trouble-shooting :

  1. Missing PHP extensions. mbstring,xml,gd check your apt install php7.20xml etc. and SYSTEMCTL RESTART APACHE2

NOTE:

These instructions assume you are the root user. If you are not, prepend sudo to the shell commands (the ones that aren't at mysql> prompts) or temporarily become a user with root privileges with sudo -s or sudo -i.

Please note the minimum supported PHP version is 7.1.3

Install PHP dependencies

su - librenms
./scripts/composer_wrapper.php install --no-dev
exit

DB Server

Configure MySQL

systemctl restart mysql mysql -uroot -p

NOTE: Please change the 'password' below to something secure.

CREATE DATABASE librenms CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci;
CREATE USER 'librenms'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON librenms.* TO 'librenms'@'localhost';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
exit

Within the [mysqld] section please add:

innodb_file_per_table=1
lower_case_table_names=0

and then :

systemctl restart mysql

Web Server Configure PHP

Ensure date.timezone is set in php.ini to your preferred time zone. See php.net/manual/en/t… for a list of supported timezones. Valid examples are: "America/New_York", "Australia/Brisbane", "Etc/UTC".

vi /etc/php/7.2/apache2/php.ini
vi /etc/php/7.2/cli/php.ini

a2enmod php7.2
a2dismod mpm_event
a2enmod mpm_prefork

Configure Apache

vi /etc/apache2/sites-available/librenms.conf

Add the following config, edit ServerName as required:

<VirtualHost *:80>
  DocumentRoot /opt/librenms/html/
  ServerName  librenms.example.com

  AllowEncodedSlashes NoDecode
  <Directory "/opt/librenms/html/">
    Require all granted
    AllowOverride All
    Options FollowSymLinks MultiViews
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

NOTE: If this is the only site you are hosting on this server (it should be :)) then you will need to disable the default site.

a2dissite 000-default
a2ensite librenms.conf
a2enmod rewrite
systemctl restart apache2

Configure snmpd

cp /opt/librenms/snmpd.conf.example /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf
vi /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf

Edit the text which says

RANDOMSTRINGGOESHERE 

and set your own community string.

curl -o /usr/bin/distro https://raw.githubusercontent.com/librenms/librenms-agent/master/snmp/distro
chmod +x /usr/bin/distro
systemctl restart snmpd

Cron job

cp /opt/librenms/librenms.nonroot.cron /etc/cron.d/librenms

NOTE: Keep in mind that cron, by default, only uses a very limited set of environment variables. You may need to configure proxy variables for the cron invocation. Alternatively adding the proxy settings in config.php is possible too. The config.php file will be created in the upcoming steps. Review the following URL after you finished librenms install steps:

https://docs.librenms.org/Support/Configuration/#proxy-support

Copy logrotate config

LibreNMS keeps logs in

/opt/librenms/logs. 

Over time these can become large and be rotated out. To rotate out the old logs you can use the provided logrotate config file:

cp /opt/librenms/misc/librenms.logrotate /etc/logrotate.d/librenms

Web installer

Now head to the web installer and follow the on-screen instructions.

http://librenms.example.com/install.php

The web installer might prompt you to create a config.php file in your librenms install location manually, copying the content displayed on-screen to the file. If you have to do this, please remember to set the permissions on config.php after you copied the on-screen contents to the file. Run:

chown librenms:librenms /opt/librenms/config.php

Final steps

That's it! You now should be able to log in to

http://librenms.example.com/. 

Please note that we have not covered HTTPS setup in this example, so your LibreNMS install is not secure by default. Please do not expose it to the public Internet unless you have configured HTTPS and taken appropriate web server hardening steps.

Add the first device

We now suggest that you add localhost as your first device from within the WebUI.

Troubleshooting

If you ever have issues with your install, run validate.php as root in the librenms directory:

cd /opt/librenms
./validate.php

There are various options for getting help listed on the LibreNMS web site: www.librenms.org/#support

What next?

Now that you've installed LibreNMS, we'd suggest that you have a read of a few other docs to get you going:

Performance tuning
Alerting
Device Groups
Auto discovery

Closing

We hope you enjoy using LibreNMS. If you do, it would be great if you would consider opting into the stats system we have, please see this page on what it is and how to enable it.
