Grafana Installation on Ubuntu using Docker

Aim :

Install Grafana OSS (open-source version) on Ubuntu using Docker.

Grafana Installation Steps

Step 1: Pull and Run the Grafana Container

  • Pull and start the Grafana container: 
    sudo docker run -d -p 3000:3000 --name=grafana grafana/grafana-oss
    • -d: Detaches the container and runs it in the background.
    • -p 3000:3000: Maps port 3000 on your host machine to port 3000 inside the container, enabling access to Grafana's web interface.
    • --name=grafana: Specifies the name of the container as grafana.

Step 2: Access Grafana

  • Once the container is running, access Grafana by opening a web browser and navigating to: 
    http://localhost:3000
    If Grafana is running on a remote server or different IP, replace localhost with the server's IP or hostname.

Step 3: Initial Setup

  • On the first visit, you'll be prompted to:
    • Set up an admin password (default username: admin).
    • Configure data sources and dashboards as needed.

Step 4: Change Admin Password

  • After logging in with the default credentials:
    • Click on the user icon in the lower-left corner, then select "Admin" to access the Admin menu.
    • Go to "Profile" and then "Change password" to update the admin password.

Useful Grafana and Docker Commands

  • Grafana Commands:
    • Restart Grafana container: 
      sudo docker restart grafana
    • View logs of Grafana container: 
      sudo docker logs grafana
  • Docker Commands:
    • List all running containers: 
      sudo docker ps
    • Stop and remove Grafana container: 
      sudo docker stop grafana
      sudo docker rm grafana
    • Clean up unused Docker resources (containers, images, networks):
