Migrating Grafana from physical server to VM

Grafana Configuration
1

Hello everyone,

I’m not very experienced with Grafana, but I would like to migrate my current Grafana instance from a physical server to a virtual machine. I’d like to know what the best practices or general procedure would be for such a migration.

In parallel, I’m also thinking about setting up Grafana on two different virtual machines (on two different hosts). The idea is that if one server goes down, the other one could take over and stay up to date.

I’m wondering if anyone here has already done this, or if there’s any documentation / experience you could share with me. For now, my main focus is the migration from physical to VM, but I’d also like to plan for high availability later.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Check this: Set up Grafana for high availability | Grafana documentation

The key is the database, if you use sqlite, just migrate to mysql or postgres, then you can use any kind of server, baremetal or VM.
