Installing using Docker

Install from offical docker image

Grafana has an offical docker container.

$ docker run -i -p 3000:3000 grafana/grafana

All grafana configuration settings can be defined using ENVIRONMENT variables, this is especially useful when using the above container.

Docker volumes & ENV config

The docker container exposes two volumes, the sqlite3 database in the folder /opt/grafana/data and configuration files in the /opt/grafana/conf folder. You can map these volumes to host folders when you start the container:

$ docker run -d -p 3000:3000 \
    -v /var/grafana/data:/opt/grafana/data \
    -e "GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_PASSWORD=secret  \
    grafana/grafana:develop

In the above example I map the data folder and set a config option via an ENV variable.

Configuration

The backend web server has a number of configuration options. Go the Configuration page for details on all those options.
