Deployment

Podman Compose

services:
  grafana:
    image: "ghcr.io/daemonless/grafana:latest"
    container_name: grafana
    environment:
      - PUID=1000  # User ID for the application process
      - PGID=1000  # Group ID for the application process
      - TZ=UTC  # Timezone for the container
    volumes:
      - "/path/to/containers/grafana:/config"
    ports:
      - "3000:3000"
    restart: unless-stopped

AppJail Director

.env:

# .env

DIRECTOR_PROJECT=grafana
PUID=1000
PGID=1000
TZ=UTC

appjail-director.yml:

# appjail-director.yml

options:
  - virtualnet: ':<random> default'
  - nat:
services:
  grafana:
    name: grafana
    options:
      - container: 'boot args:--pull'
      - expose: '3000:3000 proto:tcp' \
    oci:
      user: root
      environment:
        - PUID: !ENV '${PUID}'
        - PGID: !ENV '${PGID}'
        - TZ: !ENV '${TZ}'
    volumes:
      - grafana: /config

Makejail:

# Makejail

ARG tag=latest

OPTION overwrite=force
OPTION from=ghcr.io/daemonless/grafana:${tag}

Note: Exposing ports in AppJail means that your service can be reached from remote hosts. If that is not your intention, do not expose the ports and communicate with the service using the IPv4 address assigned by the virtual network.

Podman CLI

podman run -d --name grafana \
  -p 3000:3000 \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TZ=UTC \
  -v /path/to/containers/grafana:/config \
  ghcr.io/daemonless/grafana:latest

AppJail

appjail oci run -Pd \
  -o overwrite=force \
  -o container="args:--pull" \
  -o virtualnet=":<random> default" \
  -o nat \
  -o expose="3000:3000 proto:tcp" \
  -e PUID=1000 \
  -e PGID=1000 \
  -e TZ=UTC \
  -o fstab="/path/to/containers/grafana /config <pseudofs>" \
  ghcr.io/daemonless/grafana:latest grafana
