Introduction
In this tutorial, how to run Grafana version 8 using Docker-compose. Now, we will use Docker compose run Grafana version 8.
Docker compose run Grafana
Grafana Docker container
I will create a folder for Grafana on the Host Ubuntu OS.
sudo mkdir -p /home/huupv/docker/grafana/data
sudo mkdir -p /home/huupv/docker/compose-files/Grafana
cd /home/huupv/docker/compose-files/Grafana
Create a new docker-compose.yml file with the following
version: "3.5"
services:
grafana8:
image: grafana/grafana:latest
network_mode: "bridge"
container_name: grafana8
# user: "1000" # needs to be `id -u` // alternatively chown the grafana/data dir to 472:472
volumes:
- /home/huupv/docker/grafana/data:/var/lib/grafana
ports:
- "3000:3000"
restart: always
The change port if you want.
The deploy Grafana
sudo docker-compose up -d
Your open browser the following URL: http://yourIP:3000
To log in for the first time, use the admin:admin username and password combination.
Login the success
The during start Grafana error [fixed it]
