410labs/graphite repository overview

⁠Graphite web docker image

Similar to the official graphite image, but:

• squashes most of the RUN layers
• removes nginx and statsd to their own images
• separate graphite, carbon-cache, and carbon-aggregator into different containers (using the same base image)
• config files are not volumes (by default; you are free to override at runtime)
• TODO: rebase on a non-phusion base image...

⁠Running

docker volume create graphite
docker run --name graphite     -v graphite:/opt/graphite/storage 410labs/graphite
docker run --name carbon-cache -v graphite:/opt/graphite/storage 410labs/carbon-cache
docker run --name nginx-graphite --link graphite 410labs/nginx-graphite

You will want to also run an nginx proxy (see 410labs/nginx-graphite⁠) to use the web UI, and a carbon-cache container for inserting data (see 410labs/carbon-cache⁠). Run it on the same server as carbon-cache, sharing the same storage volume. The nginx proxy can live on a different server.

⁠Customizing

You can override individual config files in /opt/graphite/conf using bind mounts or swarm configs. Or you could mount a volume for the entire /opt/graphite/conf directory. You should use the same config files for graphite as you use for carbon-cache.
