Grafana stack ​

Let's see how to run Grafana stack (GitHub) in a Kubernetes cluster, from a custom chart based on the community repository.

Repository ​

Make sure to have the devpro Helm repository:

bash
helm repo add devpro https://devpro.github.io/helm-charts
helm repo update

Configuration ​

Create the values.yaml file to override default parameters.

yaml
# https://github.com/grafana/helm-charts/blob/main/charts/grafana/values.yaml
grafana:
  ingress:
    enabled: true
    ingressClassName: nginx
    annotations:
      cert-manager.io/cluster-issuer: letsencrypt-prod
      nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/backend-protocol: "HTTPS"
    hosts:
      - grafana.somedomain
    tls:
      - secretName: grafana-tls
        hosts:
          - grafana.somedomain

Deployment ​

Install the application:

bash
helm upgrade --install grafana-stack devpro/grafana-stack  -f values.yaml --namespace grafana --create-namespace

Watch objects being created:

bash
kubectl get pod -n grafana

Clean-up ​

Uninstall the application and delete the namespace:

bash
helm uninstall grafana-stack -n grafana
kubectl delete ns grafana
