Grafana used to be easy: download, deploy, explore your data. Now? Most install guides push you to:

  • Pick your OS-specific package manager
  • Learn Kubernetes
  • Or sign up for Grafana Cloud

We, at Quesma, wanted something simpler. So we put together five Docker Compose setups you can run locally. No system installs. No cloud required.

The guide covers:

  • vanilla Grafana in Docker
  • Grafana with Loki for log visualization
  • Grafana with Prometheus for metrics exploration
  • Grafana with Tempo for distributed traces analysis
  • Grafana with Pyroscope for continuous profiling

Everything’s containerized and preconfigured so you can clone and go.
