What is the best way to setup all of these is Docker. We are trying to build the OSS version in our datacenter. Currently we do have a VMWare infrastructure that we will build a Docker VM to run all of these.
What is your recommendation on the correct install process, the order they have to be installed in?
Can all of these pieces run in Docker or do they need to have a VM to run?
1) Grafana
2) Grafana Loki
3) Grafana Tempo
4) Grafana Mimir
5) Grafana Pyroscope
6) Grafana Alloy
7) Prometheus
8) Fleet Management - for data collectors
9) Alert Manager
10) Tracing plugin
11) LLM Plug-in Ai - Sift
12) LLM Plug-in Ai - ML
13) Anomaly detection
We are trying to setup a full Grafana system to pull metrics and logs, for servers and networking equipment. We would create dashboards for each needed departments for metrics and status of services. We will also be using the Logs and tracing features, for trouble shooting and using AI to search for abnormalities.
We need to find out what the actual installation process is for installing everything we need. We know that there should be an order to install everything, but we do not know it.
We also need to know what the Docker Server requirements would be to run all of these pieces.
Thank You
welcome @krobnett
Short answer, yes you can set these up in docker.
What do you currently have in your environment to host all of these containers.
Here is a repo you can take a look at
that spins 1 container with alloy and loki. there are many different ways you can do this.
Thank you.
We are just now getting started in using docker. So we will be starting from scratch for the Grafana solution that we want to implement. We could also use Kubernetes if we need to . We do not have Kubernetes installed yet.
So we are really looking for what system will be better to run the full Grafana solution and the order of the install pieces.
Thank You

You are mixing a lot of things (products/features). I recommend checking a doc. For example, “Fleet Management - for data collectors”:
Doc:
Grafana Fleet Management is a Grafana Cloud feature
This feature is available only in the Grafana Cloud, so you can’t “download” it and install it on your VM/Docker/on-prem infrastructure.
Thank you for this information sorry for my confusion. I am just now trying to learn it also.
I will remove the Fleet Management, since we would like to run everything locally.
But that’s not just fleet. Sift is also a feature of Grafana Cloud, not a product. So, I recommend reviewing the whole list, not just each item.
Thank you. I will go through each one of these again. Thank you.
I thought the Sift was included in the LLM plug-in for Grafana-OSS.
But I will go through all of them again. Thank you.
