Deploy and Host Grafana on Sealos

Grafana is an open-source analytics and visualization platform. This template deploys Grafana on Sealos Cloud with persistent storage and an optional managed PostgreSQL database.

About Hosting Grafana

Grafana runs as a single StatefulSet with persistent storage for dashboards, plugins, users, and local configuration. By default, Grafana uses its embedded SQLite database on the persistent volume for a compact self-hosted setup.

When use_postgresql is enabled, the template provisions a managed PostgreSQL 16.4 database and configures Grafana to store application data there. Sealos also provides the public HTTPS URL, service routing, and resource controls.

Common Use Cases

Metrics dashboards: Build dashboards from Prometheus, Graphite, PostgreSQL, and other data sources.
Operations monitoring: Track infrastructure health, application metrics, and alert trends.
Log and trace exploration: Connect Loki, Tempo, and related observability backends.
Team reporting: Share panels and dashboards with operators and product teams.

Dependencies for Grafana Hosting

The Sealos template includes the Grafana container, persistent storage, public HTTPS ingress, and optional PostgreSQL.

Grafana GitHub Repository - Source code and releases

Implementation Details

Architecture Components:

Grafana StatefulSet: Runs the Grafana web application on port 3000.
Persistent volume: Stores /var/lib/grafana data.
Optional PostgreSQL: Stores Grafana metadata when use_postgresql is set to true.
Ingress and App: Publish the HTTPS web interface from Sealos.

Configuration:

Admin username is admin.
Admin password is generated automatically as admin_password.
User self-signup is disabled by default.
SQLite is the default storage mode; PostgreSQL is available through the deployment option.

License Information:

Grafana is licensed under AGPL-3.0. This Sealos template is provided under the repository license.

Why Deploy Grafana on Sealos?

Sealos is an AI-assisted Cloud Operating System built on Kubernetes that unifies the entire application lifecycle, from development in cloud IDEs to production deployment and management. By deploying Grafana on Sealos, you get:

One-Click Deployment: Deploy Grafana with a single click.
Persistent Storage Included: Keep dashboards and configuration across restarts.
Optional Managed Database: Use PostgreSQL for a more durable metadata store.
Instant Public Access: Receive an HTTPS URL automatically.
Easy Customization: Adjust resources, environment variables, and storage from the Canvas.

Deployment Guide

Open the Grafana template and click Deploy Now.
Choose whether to enable use_postgresql.
Wait for deployment to complete. After deployment, you will be redirected to the Canvas.
Open the Grafana URL and log in with:
- Username: admin
- Password: the generated admin_password value shown in your deployment parameters.
Change the admin password when Grafana prompts you on first login.

Configuration

After deployment, configure Grafana through:

Grafana UI: Add data sources, dashboards, folders, and users.
AI Dialog: Describe resource or environment changes and let Sealos apply them.
Resource Cards: Click the StatefulSet, Service, Ingress, or PostgreSQL cards to update deployment settings.

Scaling

Grafana is deployed as a single replica because the default local storage and SQLite mode are single-writer. For larger deployments, enable PostgreSQL, keep shared plugin and data requirements in mind, and then adjust CPU and memory from the StatefulSet card.
