Overview

This module deploys Grafana as a Docker container on Red Hat systems. The Grafana container is managed as a systemd service.

Usage

Running the Container

The simplest configuration to run the Grafana container is:

grafana::docker::container { 'grafana':
    publish => ['3000:3000/tcp'],
}

The above example configures a systemd service which runs the Grafana container. It is started immediately and enabled to be started on system boot.

The following options are supported on grafana::docker::container:

  • image: The name of the Docker image to use.

  • pull_image: Always pull image before starting the container. (Default false)

  • depends: Dependencies on other systemd docker units which need to be started before this one. (List)

  • link: Containers which this container links to. (List)

  • publish: Ports which should be published by this container. (List)

  • volume: Volumes to be used by this container. (List)

  • volumes_from: Containers which this container mounts volumes from. (List)

  • systemd_env_file: Path to a systemd environment file to use.

Configuring the Container

The Grafana container can be configured by mounting configuration files from the host filesystem, as so:

grafana::docker::container { 'grafana':
    publish => ['3000:3000/tcp'],
    volume  => ['/var/local/grafana/grafana.ini:/etc/grafana/grafana.ini:ro'],
}

Note you will need to create the configuration file /var/local/grafana/grafana.ini for the above example to work. How you do that is up to you.

Persistent storage using a Data Volume Container

You may also want to manage persistent data using the data volume container pattern. To implement that, we do the following:

grafana::docker::data_volume_container { 'grafana-data': }
->
grafana::docker::container { 'grafana':
  volumes_from => ['grafana-data'],
}

This first creates a service for the data volume container named "grafana-data", then creates a service named "grafana" which mounts volumes from that container.

The following options are supported on grafana::docker::data_volume_container:

  • image: The name of the Docker image to use.

  • pull_image: Always pull image before starting the container. (Default false)

  • systemd_env_file: Path to a systemd environment file to use.

Compatibility

This module is compatible with Red Hat Linux systems which are capable of running Docker:

  • RHEL 7+
  • CentOS 7+
  • Fedora 20+
