In order to unify the approaches followed for Bitnami containers and Bitnami Helm charts, we are moving the different bitnami/bitnami-docker-<container>
repositories to a single monorepo bitnami/containers
. Please follow bitnami/containers to keep you updated about the latest Bitnami images.

$ docker run --name grafana bitnami/grafana:latest
- Bitnami closely tracks upstream source changes and promptly publishes new versions of this image using our automated systems.
- With Bitnami images the latest bug fixes and features are available as soon as possible.
- Bitnami containers, virtual machines and cloud images use the same components and configuration approach - making it easy to switch between formats based on your project needs.
- All our images are based on minideb a minimalist Debian based container image which gives you a small base container image and the familiarity of a leading Linux distribution.
- All Bitnami images available in Docker Hub are signed with Docker Content Trust (DCT). You can use
DOCKER_CONTENT_TRUST=1
to verify the integrity of the images. - Bitnami container images are released on a regular basis with the latest distribution packages available.
Deploying Bitnami applications as Helm Charts is the easiest way to get started with our applications on Kubernetes. Read more about the installation in the Bitnami Grafana Chart GitHub repository.
Bitnami containers can be used with Kubeapps for deployment and management of Helm Charts in clusters.
Non-root container images add an extra layer of security and are generally recommended for production environments. However, because they run as a non-root user, privileged tasks are typically off-limits. Learn more about non-root containers in our docs.

The recommended way to get the Bitnami Grafana Docker Image is to pull the prebuilt image from the Docker Hub Registry.
$ docker pull bitnami/grafana:latest
To use a specific version, you can pull a versioned tag. You can view the list of available versions in the Docker Hub Registry.
$ docker pull bitnami/grafana:[TAG]
If you wish, you can also build the image yourself.
$ docker build -t bitnami/grafana:latest 'https://github.com/bitnami/bitnami-docker-grafana.git#master:9/debian-11'
Using Docker container networking, a different server running inside a container can easily be accessed by your application containers and vice-versa.
Containers attached to the same network can communicate with each other using the container name as the hostname.
$ docker network create grafana-network --driver bridge
Use the --network <NETWORK>
argument to the docker run
command to attach the container to the grafana-network
network.
$ docker run --name grafana-node1 --network grafana-network bitnami/grafana:latest
We can launch another containers using the same flag (--network NETWORK
) in the docker run
command. If you also set a name to your container, you will be able to use it as hostname in your network.
Update the grafana.ini
configuration file in the /opt/bitnami/grafana/conf
directory to override default configuration options. You only need to add the options you want to override. Config files are applied in the order of:
grafana.ini
default.ini
To enable development mode, edit the grafana.ini
file and set app_mode = development
.
Override the /opt/bitnami/grafana/conf/grafana.ini
file mounting a volume.
$ docker run --name grafana-node -v /path/to/grafana.ini:/opt/bitnami/grafana/conf/grafana.ini bitnami/grafana:latest
After that, your configuration will be taken into account in the server's behaviour.
You can also do this by changing the docker-compose.yml
file present in this repository:
grafana:
...
volumes:
- /path/to/grafana.ini:/opt/bitnami/grafana/conf/grafana.ini
...
You can customize this image and include the plugins you desire editing the list of plugins avilable in the script (see the variable "grafana_plugin_list") and build your own image as shown below:
$ cd 8/debian-11
$ docker build -t your-custom-grafana .
When you start the Grafana image, you can specify a comma, semi-colon or space separated list of plugins to install by setting the env. variable GF_INSTALL_PLUGINS
. The entries in GF_INSTALL_PLUGINS
have three different formats:
plugin_id
: This will download the latest plugin version with nameplugin_id
from the official Grafana plugins page.plugin_id:plugin_version
: This will download the plugin with nameplugin_id
and versionplugin_version
from the official Grafana plugins page.plugin_id=url
: This will download the plugin with nameplugin_id
using the zip file specified inurl
. In case you want to skip TLS verification, set the variableGF_INSTALL_PLUGINS_SKIP_TLS
toyes
.
For Docker Compose, add the variable name and value under the application section:
grafana:
...
environment:
- GF_INSTALL_PLUGINS=grafana-clock-panel:1.1.0,grafana-kubernetes-app,worldpring=https://github.com/raintank/worldping-app/releases/download/v1.2.6/worldping-app-release-1.2.6.zip
...
For manual execution add a -e
option with each variable and value:
$ docker run -d --name grafana -p 3000:3000 \
-e GF_INSTALL_PLUGINS="grafana-clock-panel:1.1.0,grafana-kubernetes-app,worldpring=https://github.com/raintank/worldping-app/releases/download/v1.2.6/worldping-app-release-1.2.6.zip" \
bitnami/grafana:latest
You can install the Grafana Image Renderer plugin to handle rendering panels and dashboards as PNG images. To install the plugin, follow the instructions described in the previous section.
As an alternative to install this plugin, you can use the Grafana Image Renderer container to set another Docker container for rendering and using remote rendering. We highly recommend to use this option. In the Docker Compose below you can see an example to use this container:
version: '2'
services:
grafana:
image: bitnami/grafana:6
ports:
- '3000:3000'
environment:
GF_SECURITY_ADMIN_PASSWORD: "bitnami"
GF_RENDERING_SERVER_URL: "http://grafana-image-renderer:8080/render"
GF_RENDERING_CALLBACK_URL: "http://grafana:3000/"
grafana-image-renderer:
image: bitnami/grafana-image-renderer:1
ports:
- '8080:8080'
environment:
HTTP_HOST: "0.0.0.0"
HTTP_PORT: "8080"
ENABLE_METRICS: 'true'
The Bitnami Grafana Docker image sends the container logs to the stdout
. To view the logs:
$ docker logs grafana
You can configure the containers logging driver using the --log-driver
option if you wish to consume the container logs differently. In the default configuration docker uses the json-file
driver.
Bitnami provides up-to-date versions of grafana, including security patches, soon after they are made upstream. We recommend that you follow these steps to upgrade your container.
$ docker pull bitnami/grafana:latest
Stop the currently running container using the command
$ docker stop grafana
Next, take a snapshot of the persistent volume /path/to/grafana-persistence
using:
$ rsync -a /path/to/grafana-persistence /path/to/grafana-persistence.bkp.$(date +%Y%m%d-%H.%M.%S)
You can use this snapshot to restore the database state should the upgrade fail.
$ docker rm -v grafana
Re-create your container from the new image, restoring your backup if necessary.
$ docker run --name grafana bitnami/grafana:latest
The number of plugins included in the image by default has been decreased. This decision is supported by the following reasons:
- Bitnami commitment to offer images as less opinionated as possible: only very popular and well-maintained plugins should be included.
- Reducing the image size.
- Security concerns: by reducing the number of plugins, we also reduce the chances to include libraries affected by known vulnerabilities.
You can still build your custom image adding your custom plugins or install them during the installization as explained in the Grafana Plugins section.
- The
GF_INSTALL_PLUGINS
environment variable is not set by default anymore. This means it doesn't try to install thegrafana-image-renderer
plugin anymore unless you specify it. As an alternative to install this plugin, you can use the Grafana Image Renderer container.
- Grafana doesn't ship the
grafana-image-renderer
plugin by default anymore since it's not compatible with K8s distros with IPv6 disable. Instead, theGF_INSTALL_PLUGINS
environment variable is set by default including this plugin so it's installed during the container's initialization, users can easily avoid it by overwriting the environment variable.
Grafana's branch 8.x.x is no longer maintained by upstream and is now internally tagged as to be deprecated. This branch will no longer be released in our catalog a month after this notice is published, but already released container images will still persist in the registries. Valid to be removed starting on: 08-18-2022
