Loki and Debian 12

Grafana Loki
1

Hello,
Why isn’t there a Loki for Debian? I mean, why isn’t it in the package repository and do I have to install it via source code?

Should Loki be installed with Promtail or Alloy side by side on the same server?

Thank you.

  1. I don’t use Debian myself, but the release page does include a build for Debian (see Releases · grafana/loki · GitHub)
  2. Not necessarily. Alloy is supposed to be the agent, you should install that on your servers where you want logs to be sent to Loki.

Hi,
Thank you so much for your reply.
Why do you think this file is not in the Debian repository?

Unfortunately I don’t know the answer to that. Grafana does host their own repo, I suppose they probably could’ve added Loki to it. Might be a feature request you can submit on GitHub.

The file can be installed with the apt command:
