It looks like it's pretty straightforward to separate these components 
into their own containers:

https://hub.docker.com/r/zabbix/zabbix-server-mysql/
https://hub.docker.com/r/zabbix/zabbix-web-apache-mysql/

The server container lets you link to a mysql host.  The web service 
container lets you link to a zabbix server and a mysql host.

I have a zabbix 6.0.2 install set up on a bare metal Ubuntu server.  If 
I was going to do a docker install on separate hosts, I would probably 
install the server and web service containers together on one host, and 
mysql on another, serving as the database for zabbix as well as other 
things.

TL;DR note:  All my web services are accessed through an install of 
haproxy.  It handles SSL, and all the connections to back end services 
are plaintext.  The zabbix frontend is only one of several virtualhosts 
in my Apache install, and I have other backend services.  Apache, 
gitlab, and plex are on the same server as haproxy, and I have a pair of 
pi units with Apache as well. https://raspi.elyograg.org

Using haproxy lets me have all these scattered services accessible 
through the one public IP address that I get from my home ISP.

Thanks,
